- In this episode of 'Price Points: Home', Bedding expert and Founder of Buffy.co Leo Wang guesses which one of two bed sheets is more expensive. For each round of bed sheets, Leo looks at material (fabrics like cotton, silk, satin, etc), thread count, and weave, before guessing which set of bed sheets costs more. Once the prices are revealed, Wang explains why a specific set of bed sheets costs more and how to make the different bed sheets. Furnished by Feather, France & Son.

Instantly, I can tell that his voice has a higher thread count, with a smooth timbre and a lotion like flow through my ears. It also sounds like it may have a higher quality cotton, with soft stops and round inflections. I think I would be more comfortable with his speech, having a percale weave vocabulary and long fibered sentences.
Nicholas Martinez best comment 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Nicholas Martinez 👌👌👌👌👌👌 that was amazing, the 1500.00 set type amazing😂😆🤗
Someone was listening attentively haahhaa
yep! what he said.
Amen
*His voice is calming af*
He's also impressively eloquent
Except when I opened up the video, hoping to watch it and dose off to sleep, hearing him say his name in his accent really woke me up.
Yeah I really wanted to watch it and ended up falling asleep because his voice was so calming..
Altenarian same... I had a good night’s sleep that day.
soothing that's the adjective
My friends are out partying. I am learning about bed sheets.
It is 9 o clock Saturday night eating jello and wanting expensive sheets.
Welcome to adulthood.
I'm drinking coke and rum alone, watching videos about bed sheets.
Bed sheets will bring the party to you, trust me.
Wrong!!! When you're 40 or 50 you'll regret loosing your best years. Don't do that anymore. If you don't like what your friends do on a saturday night "basis", look for a new group of people you share hobbies or taste with.
I mean, I'm a straight guy, but I guess everything is negotiable.
Hänschen Klein 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absoloutely
LMFAO!!
Hänschen Klein
I feel the same!
Absolutely gorgeous
This man is so fine. He's passionate, he incredibly knowledgeable, he has such a wonderfully soothing voice and cadence, and he's just straight up physically attractive. I'd price him at out of my league cause goddamn.
@Fuzzybucket the thirst is real jfc
I'm in love.
Not one of us could afford to sleep on this man's bed.
Oliver Reeve yeah the ultimate con artist ❤️ I mean salesman.
Oliver Reeve how u know he gay?
I really enjoy this series of learning from experts. I also could listen to his voice all day!! LOL so relaxing!
he has sincerity in his voice as well, i really don't know why people prefer trained voices over natural voices.
Yes, his voice, his manner of speech and cadence... it’s so relaxing. OMG, I would totally buy from his store.
gisforgary His voice is definitely trained to be that way. A good trained voice is meant to sound natural like in this video.
Maybe he'll see this and start an ASMR channel to help people sleep/relax
His voice has a very high thread count. It’s cool and feels like lotion
I never expected to watch and enjoy a 15 min video about bedsheet.
haha
He's hot, articulate and charming. I'd insert some inappropriate joke here about "bedding expert" and/or "between the sheets" but honestly, I am now too embarrassed since apparently my sheets are not even good enough to bed a homeless leper. 😬😬😬
Mimi G. Your comment made me laugh cry 😂 I can’t
Mimi G. 😂you are adorable.
Omg. Can someone give Leo his own show or something, can't get enough of this.
Wow, this video deserves way more attention. The host was smooth, charming and incredibly knowledgeable. He was tested on fabrics that weren't all crazy differentials like what Epicurious pumps out. I actually feel informed and not just intrigued by what I watched. Good job AD.
What do you mean “no crazy differentials” there was over $1000 price difference on one comparison
I feel like maybe he meant there was only one real point of comparison on each set, e.g thread count, weave, material, rather than a combination of them.
Wait...this isnt an epicurious video??? Where am i?
He has such a calming voice. No wonder he works in the sheet industry. That is a sheet industry voice if I've ever heard one.
Did anyone else catch his "It's a bit of a sham" joke? LOL so punny
I missed it, and you're right. Thanks.
I want this guy to talk to me all the time, I love him
Brianna *lol!!* 😃😍🤣😄🙃😆
He taken his wife is beautiful blond woman. I guess she loves being in bed with him 😊
@@thewebmogul how do u know ?
@@thewebmogul what wife? He's gay
@@johnwt7333 No
Unintentional ASMR
r/subsyoufellfor ?
TOTALLY 🤣
I wish we had these 15 min. videos when I was in interior design school... Short, straight to the point, yet super informative. Great job.
This guy had the most relaxing, ASMR inducing voice and he had such interesting information and commentary about the fabrics and how they were made. I love hearing a real expert talk about their subject matter, these are things that most of us take for granted or never even think about when it comes to sheets, I just love these types of videos!
Finally, an answer to the question of what it would be like if Keanu were an Asian linen specialist.
keanu is partly asian! his grandmother is chinese and native hawaiian
Lol how excited the $1450 sheets got him :D
But it really really pretty.. If I am rich, I will buy that sheet.
Must have been Frette sheets!
@@paolamura3497 Frette's sets go for much more than 1450$, some of their products run into the 3500$ mark per set. They do have some options down in that relm but when you get to their 600tc an up jacquard sets they range well over the 1500$ mark. My family is in the manufacturing of fine Italian linens as well and we have a single sheet that sells for 1579$ per sheets and that is at wholesale price, in a retail setting they should sell for about 3500$ per sheet.
@@TaylorCampbellorMapleE30 Thanks for specifying. I live in Italy and I have to be honest, what I have bought from Frette I've bought on sale...and some articles are never on sale!!!
It was for a bed set not a sheet.
My favorite sheets were 300 thread count cotton. I had higher before and they were so tightly woven that they didn't breathe even though they were cotton. I hated them, they might as well have been plastic bags they were so sweaty.
My favorite set cost $50 at Home Goods. If I spent $300 on sheets I wouldn't be able to sleep at night!
He could easily start an ASMR channel. Just talking about bed sheets.
Wow, he’s so passionate and knowledgeable about bed sheets. Good for him🙌🏽
You couldn't afford to sleep in his bed
Grab a sheet*
With that voice and perfect diction he could do audio books! Very interesting vid too.
omfg yeesss!!!! 😭
honestly i think i might love him, he's so precious and his voice is perfect.
So ive watched and rewatched this video multiple times in a loop. his voice is soft as silk.
does he come with the sheets? i just want to lie on a 300 thread count sheet while he talks me to sleep...
Why 300? Why not 600?
lmaooo
@@BrooklynBoy206 Because 300 thread count is just fine and won't blow most people's budget.
@@saysoun752 It depends on the sheets. I just ripped my favorite sheets, after 7 years (accidentally cut them on the edge of something while moving my bed, It wasn't from use). They kept their colour (duck egg blue) and are crazy soft, and created to have less wrinkles without chemical addictive. They were $70 from QVC. I have two other sets. To me that's a bargain. I've spent way more and way less and it's still the best sheets it's ever had. And I'm rough on using them and washing them (I'm bad at following the instructions). So it depends on the quality, but yeah after 600 count sheets I'm not going back to 300. I personally find only bamboo is ok at 300, and it's not my favorite feel.
I Heart you and your response!
He is so soft spoken :) Is it weird that I want to start an argument with him to see how loud he gets? lol
That's certainly an unusual direction to take upon hearing someone soft spoken, haha.
It makes such a difference. My fiancé had a hard and fast stance that polyester "fleece" was superior for sleeping. This was man that was always hot when he slept. He also had no idea that microfiber and cotton were any different.
I introduced him to cotton and he slept like a baby for the rest of his days.
I love seeing experts be experts! It's so refreshing as a body-language enthusiast. In body language, there are an inexhaustible number of people boldly calling themselves experts, yet, if I were so inclined, I could correct more than half of what they say without calling myself an expert. I call myself an enthusiast and guys like this are exactly why. This is what a true expert looks like when talking about what he knows.
His voice is so calm. Can I use this video to fall asleep?☺️
Mariana Z. this guy & Bob Ross, too! just find a free recorder and save the audio on a loop! 👍👍
you are wrong, it's too calm for such things to do
You can.
Its called asmr :)
His descriptions are amazing
He is an incredible expert. I'm so glad that I happened upon this video!
I think I'm in love..... The way he said "length" with that regal elocution sent me over the edge. LOL
Leo, if this bedsheet business doesn't work out for you, might I suggest lending your voice to audio books. Or, really, lending your voice to anything.
His voice is ASMR for me. He should totally make a vlog for calming stress.
Guy is really hot.
5850terry he’s cute!
I like his eyes!
And really gay
He doesnt like chicks tho
livia you know this how ?.
I want this man to explain everything to me from now on.
No wonder his voice and calm nature are so evident. He probably slept in silk all his life, being that his family is in the bedding business. He was so informative, articulate and passionate about bedding that it caused me envision myself selling bedsheets as a sale representative. Got me thinking how successful I could be. The school system needs lessons from great content creators.
His voice has such a high thread count ❤️
His title is “bedding expert” I was expecting so many immature jokes... good job internet
We're all too busy listening to him to double those entendres
LOL, I scrolled through the comments because I was thinking of making one myself.
He's really knowledgeable, gentle, and charming.I think he deserves more than that.
His voice is so soothing that I quite literally started to fall asleep watching this video... in bed.
Bedding expert title your sextape
We used to manufacture high quality sheets here too. Dominion Textile, Domtex, was one of the biggest manufacturers of bedding and it had 14,000 employees and factories in Canada, the United States, Ireland, France, Italy and Tunisia. A leader in a number of areas, it became the world's largest producer of denim. I still have some Wabasso sheets.
Now it's gone, along with hundreds of thousands of other good manufacturing jobs.
Free Trade wasn't Free.
“Free” for corporations you mean
You mean someone did it better than you
Help I've fallen in love with a man describing/explaining bed sheets.
it took me 13 minutes into the video to realize that the guy reminded me of a much hotter, much more eloquent Keanu Reeves. And I already liked Keanu Reeves.
an na yup. He has Keanu's voice.
There is no spoon
yes way!
Same, as soon as i looked away and just heard his voice, i recognized it instantly.
give this man a show reading bedtime stories. the way he speaks is so soothing
Wow, I have never been more impressed by a person. He knows his sh** and thanks to that I feel like I actually know now what to look for when purchasing sheets and how to distinguish the differences between them. Thank you!
Can he do an entire series on textiles? I really appreciate that you guys regularly find interesting smart people with pleasant voices
Love this! Please do more of these expert videos. But a speaker thats humble yet knowledgeable like him
I could definitely listen to his voice every night to sleep 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Let's get this guy a CZcams channel! I could listen to him all day.
This video was amazing! I appreciate quality sheets and Leo did a phenomenal job walking us through all the elements that make up this. Also, as the last thing I am watching before bed, it was beautiful ASMR. I wish he had his own channel, so I could duck over and listen some more. Honestly, I could play this on repeat, it's that relaxing.
It’d be nice to see a furniture expert compare chairs or other stuff, I like this
I didn't even watch the video, was reading comments. All I have to say is this guy's voice has the finest thread count available. He needs a podcast or bedtime story channel. So calming.
He's so cute. I love his happy, positive, joyful energy! Thank you for sharing your happiness!!!
This guy has such a pleasing way of talking. It sounds like a "presentation voice," but he's so composed and soothing. Voice goals, my man.
Get this man a podcast! Could listen to him for hours.

My sheet cost $9 retail. You can recoil now. Lol
Ti Co so you sleep on sandpaper?
Ikea makes excellent sheets!
@@sssjjjttt you mean harbor freight sandpaper
jadslash 💀💀
@@paolamura3497 true, the IKEA NATTJASMIN sheet set for example has a thread count of more than 300 and is just luxurious.
This was very helpful! Plus, one couldn't have found someone with a more calming, relaxing voice -- making the entire thought of sleeping in a comfortable, peaceful bed simply a bed sheet away. Thank you so much, Leo, for your expertise!
This is the best video I think you could watch if your looking for new sheets. I’m learning all about different fabrics and this video is covering everything I have learned lately. Incredibly informative!!
I want him to read me a book before I sleep
Very informative video. At first I thought I’d get bored listening to 15 mins of bedding talk but it went by quickly and he does a wonderful job of explaining it all. I learned a lot.
I LOOOOOOVE THIS! This was super great! and I agree his voice is super calming. He should have a podcast...just talking about stuff. But the information is SOOO valuable!
The chalk art is amazing this episode!!! Almost looks real back there!
I'm surprised that they didn't talk about bamboo sheets, they are getting more and more popular. I have a set of bamboo pillowcases myself and they are amazingly soft and cool to the touch.
Loved this, and he was easy on the eyes☺️😍. You should do this again with other items? Very informative.
His personality is sooo cute! Really soft spoken and humble but also super funny!
His voice is so comforting. And the information was great, thank you!
genuinely gave me so much more of an appreciation for sheets
I'm going to start meditating to this guy telling me all about thread counts.
Mark Sneddon 😅 love it
I wasn't sure how detailed this would get, and was pleasantly surprised.
I would love to have a couple of hours with this guy, just strolling thru a few linen/fabric/textiles stores. I'd love to learn about all the little details and just geek out for a while...his voice and mannerisms are so calming I could listen to him all day!
I'd probably pester him with endless questions though and drive him crazy!
Great vid, thx!
More episode of this series please! Also I agree with everyone this guy is super attractive and is so knowledgeable about sheets which makes me swoon over him more!
Loved this content and how informative this video was! Great job, AD & Leo.
This video was so informative! I love learning more about the everyday details. It makes designing your home more fun and intentional :)
His voice is so soothing. I couldn’t tell if I was being hypnotized or if I wanted to suddenly take a nap. Perfect person to discuss bed sheets.
I like these expert videos just for the sake of enjoying genuine credibility, especially this one. Plus they are usually about things we all use, so they have helpful info as well.
Mesmerized by his knowledge and interpretation of the topics. Great video
Great video. The only part missing was how long should you expect a high quality bed sheets to last. We had mid-priced cotton satin sheets that lasted around 8 years and I don't know if that's a good or bad result.
Your voice speaks of volume - cotton, linen, silk, wonderfully calming. I have learned a lot. Thank you very much.
I wish I had Leo as a teacher. I wouldn't miss a word he says. Thanks for the informative presentation.
I can just imagine him about to hook up with someone and not being able to do it because he's judging the low quality sheets hard af!
hahahahaha
Or perhaps he's actually polite about it, but tell his partner afterwards that maybe they can use a bed sheet upgrade, if they felt like it. My area of expertise is also design, but I personally don't go around telling people that their something can really use enhancement.
His knowledge is unbelievably comprehensive but stay for the 13:47 bedding joke.
Sometimes when I want to relax and don’t have the right song to play I play this video. This dude’s voice is soothing af and it’s a pleasure to listen. I can’t tell how many times I’ve come back to play this video.
This information is very interesting and the best I have ever seen on sheets. Plus this gentleman’s delivery and soft voice is very pleasing to listen to. Thank you!
This expert has a great voice. so calming. I would listen to him read the dictionary.
I don't doubt for a second that he's a bedding expert, as well as an expert on sheets.
His voice is so relaxing! Enjoyed this way more than I expected.
FINALLY ..SOMEONE THAT EXPLAINS IT IN SIMPLE TERMS...THANKS
This was the most relaxing thing i have ever seen. ever.
This is really useful!
I love your calm, soft voice. I also love the lesson in how to buy quality sheets.
It's so lovely to listen to Leo educate and articulate the finer points of his passion, without any pretense. 😍
Do an entire series with him he’s amazing
I want to hire this guy to tuck me in and read me bedtime stories
this guy is so smiley. He just like to smile and talk in a comfortingly soft, yet masculine way. like a happy, sleepy dad. He seems like the leader of a yoga cult.
Best information on bed sheets/linen that I have ever come across! Thank you!!
LOL EVERYONE IN THE COMMENTS LOVE HIM SO MUCH. HALF OF THEM ARE ABOUT HIS VOICE AND THE OTHER HALF ARE ABOUT WANTING TO BONE HIM HAHAHA
Which group are you in?
Thank you. I learned a lot from this video. Presenter was very qualified and enjoyable. It certainly makes me wish I could touch all the sheets before buying them. Unfortunately, you cannot find all the qualities and fabrics for sale in any one market place, nor can you get up close and personal with them as he was able to do. The fact that he, a knowledgeable textile expert, was surprised by pricing tells me that we are fooled by price when buying sheets. I think someone should open a textiles only store with textile expert staff that can offer full service assistance in selecting sheets. I hate being at the mercy of gimmicks and limited availability.
His voice is literally the most soooooothing thing. I want to see more videos from him. Teach me more about sheets.
I have three sheet sets. My first is synthetic and then I bought a 100% cotton. I just acquired on sale an Egyptian Cotton set and it really does make a difference. Its subtle (between the two cottons) but the latter set is just slightly softer and has a nicer luster to it.
his voice
he should make a youtube channel for me to listen to all day
We want more Leo!!
His voice is comforting and easy to listen to.
This whole video (combined with the lil trolley of sample sheets that come in) is soooo ASMR omg
