It's practically a spectator sport to overhear customers ordering their Starbucks coffee. The level of "coffee personalization" at Starbucks requires a specialized vocabulary and baristas that are highly trained.
The Options Are Endless
Starbucks has reported 19,000 or even 55,000 coffee variations! We are keenly aware of differences between one coffee and another. Each of us has our own preferred variation that "hits the spot."
Do we have preferences for our sheets?
And yet, sleep is more important than coffee. We use sheets for at least one third of our lives - but there are very few variations. We need more customization for our bedding. We need Starbucks sheets:

We Don't Know What We're Missing!
Is it perhaps that we're just not aware of our sheet preferences? We were happy with diner coffee in pre-Starbucks days, remember?
The last sheet breakthrough was about 10 years ago, after a few luxury hotels came up with a great sleep experience. For example, Westin's "Heavenly Bed." But what improvements have been added for us lately, fellow sleepyheads? Where can we go to find more choices, better choices and more convenient choices? Are we still suffering the same frustration of buying sheets that we don't like after a few washings??
