Il y a plus de 60 choix de styles et couleurs. 🛏️
Quand vient le temps de rendre ton lit un peu plus douillet à bas prix, magasiner en ligne sur Amazon Canada reste l’une des façons les plus simples de trouver des draps qui valent vraiment la peine. En quelques clics, tu peux comparer une foule d’options et dénicher des ensembles aussi agréables que pratiques. La compagnie de vente en ligne demeure d’ailleurs l’une des plateformes les plus populaires pour ce genre d’achat, en grande partie grâce aux milliers d’avis laissés par la clientèle, qui aident à faire un choix éclairé. Et si tu veux en avoir plus pour ton argent, le moment est bien choisi : certains ensembles de draps populaires sont offerts avec des rabais pouvant atteindre 38 % selon la taille et la couleur.

Classé au 1er rang des meilleurs vendeurs dans la catégorie Maison, cet ensemble a trouvé preneur plus de 6 000 fois en un mois, toutes tailles confondues, et affiche une note moyenne de 4,4 étoiles sur 5 selon 443 352 avis. Autant dire qu’il ne passe pas inaperçu. La fiche du produit ne fait d’ailleurs pas dans la modestie : elle promet des draps « parmi les plus doux et les plus abordables que vous puissiez trouver ». Rien de moins.
On l’a donc mis à l’épreuve pour voir s’il est à la hauteur de sa réputation.
Les draps au premier rang des meilleurs vendeurs sur Amazon et les options de couleurs.
L’ensemble est offert en sept tailles, du lit une place au très grand lit californien, en passant par le lit une place très long et le split king. Côté look, tu as l’embarras du choix avec plus de 60 couleurs, dont quelques motifs. Chaque ensemble comprend un drap plat, un drap contour et deux taies d’oreiller (une seule pour la taille une place). Le drap contour a une poche assez profonde pour s’adapter aux matelas d’environ 40,6 centimètres (16 pouces) d’épaisseur.
Selon la fiche du produit, le tissu est fait de microfibre brossée qu’on décrit comme très douce, respirante, fraîche et infroissable.
Les draps populaires achetés sur Amazon.

Comme la majorité des personnes qui ont laissé un avis sur la page Amazon du produit, j’ai tout de suite été satisfaite en ouvrant le colis. Les couleurs et les motifs correspondaient exactement aux photos en ligne et, même avant le premier lavage, la douceur du tissu sautait aux yeux.
J’avais d’ailleurs commandé un deuxième ensemble sur Amazon au même moment, auprès d’une autre boutique, parce que j’avais un style bien précis en tête. Il m’avait coûté une centaine de dollars de plus, et ça a été une vraie déception : le tissu était rugueux et, même s’il s’est assoupli après plusieurs lavages, il reste beaucoup moins confortable que celui du meilleur vendeur.
Il faut aussi savoir que les draps populaires sont plutôt minces. C’est donc une belle option pour une literie d’été ou si tu aimes dormir au frais.
Chez moi, ce sont mes ados qui utilisent l’ensemble de CGK Unlimited. Ils étaient censés l’alterner avec leurs anciens draps, mais disons que ce plan a vite pris le bord : ils refusent catégoriquement de faire la rotation.
Je peux donc confirmer que les promesses faites en ligne tiennent la route… sauf pour le côté infroissable. Mes ados laissent souvent le drap plat en boule au pied du lit (pourquoi détestent-ils autant les draps plats?), et des plis finissent par se former, comme on peut le voir sur la photo ci-dessus. Rien de bien dramatique, cela dit : si tu évites de les laisser traîner, tu devrais avoir un meilleur résultat.
Pour le prix, la qualité et le grand choix d’options, c’est sans doute l’une des façons les plus simples de dormir confortablement sans casser ton petit cochon.
Prix : 39,99 $ plutôt que 64,99 $ pour la taille « grand lit »
Homicide investigators say they have yet to positively identify a man who was found dead under suspicious circumstances in Surrey, B.C.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says in a statement that police were called to the 6100-block of 156 Street in Surrey on Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency responders found the man dead, and the initial investigation shows the death was criminal.
Police say investigators are working to establish a timeline of events, the circumstances of the death and the victim's identity.
They are asking anyone in the area of the crime scene between Oct. 8 and Oct. 14 who may have information to come forward.
Those with dashcam footage of the area are also asked to contact police, since the video may help establish the events leading up to the man's death.

How to address the current and potential impact of the Woodfibre LNG export facility on communities south of Squamish, such as Britannia Beach and Furry Creek, was a topic of discussion at a recent Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) committee of the whole meeting.
At the meeting on Sept. 24, committee members unanimously supported a motion to be considered by the SLRD board to refer the item to regional district staff “to explore regional impacts of Woodfibre LNG (WLNG) and how they may be addressed.”
With the general local election to be held on Oct. 17, this will come back to the incoming board.
The discussion was sparked by a director's report submitted by outgoing Area D director Tony Rainbow, who is retiring after this term.
He floated the idea that perhaps the SLRD could get a share of the Woodfibre LNG property tax paid to the District of Squamish.
In the report, Rainbow included a recommendation that “considering the current and future impact of the WLNG operation on the shores of Howe Sound and on the communities of Britannia Beach and Furry Creek, the SLRD Board appoint a committee to meet with the District of Squamish council to consider the sharing of the property taxes to be paid by WLNG.”
“This money would be held in trust by the SLRD to be spent mostly in Britannia Beach, but also in Furry Creek and along the shoreline of the sound on both the east and west shores,” Rainbow wrote.
“B.C. has no provision for taxing a company to mitigate the effects of its activities on communities that are outside of the jurisdiction that collects the property taxes … The only entity that can mitigate this situation is the regional district of which the District of Squamish is a named member.”
Rainbow said at the meeting that his proposal was a response to concerns and complaints he receives often from Britannia Beach and Furry Creek residents.
Rainbow said he understood that once construction is complete, WLNG will use less obtrusive lighting, but there will “obviously” be noise from flaring, and increased shipping which will affect local residents and infrastructure, he said.
Rainbow’s report also states that after construction is complete, the operation of the plant will have less impact on Squamish, but the impacts in Britannia Beach specifically will continue for decades to come.
He said in the meeting that given Howe Sound is a UNESCO Biosphere Region, and will be impacted by the LNG project, the SLRD should be doing what it can to address those impacts.
“We were very proud to express our support for the biosphere region. And what does that mean? I think it probably means that we should consider impacts on the sound from industry within our region.”
In the meeting, Rainbow said the Britannia Beach dock needs a “significant investment” to withstand “the kind of marine traffic that we're going to be getting over the next 40 years.”
Rainbow acknowledged, however, that since submitting his report he understands that there could be legal implications of his proposal, which need to be understood more fully.
“We need to understand what those implications are. … I guess what I'm hoping is that this board will demonstrate that it does understand the impacts on Area D residents, and we are prepared to do something to assist,” Rainbow said.
Thus a motion was put forward by Chair Jen Ford to recommend to the board that staff look at impacts of the project.
“I don't want to get too prescriptive. … I would like our staff to have the ability to go and engage in this process and come back to a future meeting with what they find out,” Ford said.
“We've understood through all of the years that we've all attended Howe Sound Community Forums that regional districts often are forgotten,” she also said.
“We saw, certainly in the past, Britannia Mine’s impact on Howe Sound and the biosphere and the glass sponge reefs. It is our responsibility to steward these lands and waters responsibly so we certainly want to have those conversations.”
Village of Pemberton director Mike Richman seconded Ford’s motion.
“I totally empathize with the communities down there getting impacted,” Richman said. “It's something that we see across the province, and I'd be happy to take part in addressing that. So I support the motion and look forward to the conversation.
District of Squamish director Jenna Stoner called the impacts of WLNG on residents of Howe Sound East “substantive.”
“This is an important conversation to be having. I appreciate seeking some direction on how we might be able to seek compensation for those impacts in ways that will involve the community and the company,” she said.
As noted, the issue will come to a future board meeting for consideration.
As part of the 2026 General Local Elections currently underway, the SLRD director positions for Area A and D directors are to be elected by voting (as opposed to acclaimed).
