I need help re-writing this quote

"The hardened detective glanced at his rookie partner and mused that whoever had coined the term 'white as a sheet' had never envisioned a bed accessorized with a set of hazelnut, 500-count Egyptian cotton linens from Ralph Lauren complemented by matching shams and a duvet cover nor the dismembered body of its current occupent."

I need to re-write this because it is too wordy, but I need to keep the general topic. Can anyone help me?
