What Are Some Examples of Items That Are Much More Expensive Than Their Substitutes but Are Worth It

What are some examples of items that are much more expensive than their substitutes but are worth it?

Some thing that I am willing to pay more than double for: Food. I try to buy organic food as far as possible. It might look uglier but tastes great and I know I am not pumping chemicals into my family's bodies. I also prefer fresh produce to frozen stuff. I feel it is tastier Gadgets. I am not a gadget freak but I would pay twice the sum for my laptop or my tablet. The really good ones get problems less frequently and if they do, their service networks are easier to find. Bed linen. I try and buy the best cotton bed linen even if it is prohibitively expensive. A good night's sleep is important.

Bed Linen Buying Guide

What Types of Sheets Are There? Fitted Sheets This covers your mattress and should be deep enough to fit securely over it and stay in place as you sleep. Flat Sheets Can be used as a top sheet for warmer months or to fold over the duvet for decoration. Duvet Cover Your duvet or comforter should fit snugly inside a duvet cover which can be removed and washed when needed. It also allows you to change your style as often as you want. Bedspread A single layer bed topper that should cover the entire bed down to the floor and the pillowcase too. They tend to be lightweight so can be a good alternative to a duvet during summer months and as an extra layer when it gets chilly.

r/nursing - What time do you normally change the patients bed linen (inpatient)?

As my name states, I manage linen for a number of hospitals and I am finding that patients who are scheduled for discharge are having their beds changed on the same day, sometimes an hour or two before they leave. I know that a lot of things can interfere with discharges and timing, but is there any major reason why bed changes could not be moved to the afternoon instead of the morning? Would it interfere with too many other things? I know some of my units give baths later in the day, why not do the change while they take a bath or before they return to the bed? It sounds like a simple solution from my end to avoid those people who are getting discharged prior to say 2pm, but I am willing to bet there are other complications that I am completely unaware of which might make this a really dumb idea. Just wanted some outside input before I go make myself look like an idiot to the staff :) Thanks. EDIT: I should clarify that my job is to save the hospital money on linen and make the units more efficient with their linen use.

How to Wash Luxury Bed Linen

In ancient China, luxury bed linen was a status symbol and only available to the wealthy. Today, anybody can purchase this luscious fabric and enjoy the benefits of having luxury bed linen. Luxury bed linen should be washed by hand the first two to three times, but after that it is OK to launder them in a washing machine as long as you use the proper method. Inspect the luxury bed linen for any stains and attempt to remove gently with warm water and a soft sponge. Do not scrub vigorously. Set the washing machine to the delicate cycle and ensure that the water is lukewarm. Add mild laundry detergent and fabric softener if desired. Use the amount recommended by the brand that you are using. Put the luxury bed linen in the washing machine for the set cycle time. Hang them on a clothesline and allow to the luxury bed linen dry in an area out of direct sunlight, which can cause damage. Luxury bed linen can also be dried in the dryer on the lowest temperature setting. Luxury bed linen usually shrinks slightly the first few times they are washed. This is normal and not cause for concern. Wash silk bed linen separately from other laundry to prevent damage.
