Bed Bath & Beyond

Sheets are sheets, right? Pillows are pillows, and as long as you lie on it or pull it over yourself when you sleep, you're good to go, right?

That's what I thought before I had to help a friend restock his apartment post-college. Luckily, we found Bed Bath & Beyond at Perimeter. In the past, I've been disenchanted with the huge stores like these. Why not save some time and go to Target or Wal-Mart, right? Well, these people do one thing, and they do it right.

Their assistant manager (whose name unfortunately escapes me) deserves some sort of medal. First of all, neither of us knew the size of my friend's bed. I had to describe the shape using my arms as measurements. Then, the assistant manager had to take us through several aisles while we went through what kind of sheets he'd need.

After that, he reminded us that we would probably need mattress liners (yeah, I had no idea you need a liner between your bottom sheet and the mattress, go fig) and even pointed us to the cheaper sheets in case he didn't want to splurge on the larger thread counts (again, I had no idea what the difference was).

Don't waste your time at other BBB's. Stick with this one--it's well worth the trip.

PROS: Informative, helpful staff that assists you in pretty much everything.
CONS: Your face will resemble a deer caught in headlights if you don't get help.

They renovated the store just six months ago. they have the most variety, and also a mini drug store in there. There is plenty of parking, they share a parking lot with a furniture store. Also very customer friendly employees. Lots of variety and great picks for the home.
