Have you ever taken a moment to wonder why hotel bed sleeping is such a luxury? The crisp, cool sheets, the plush pillows, and the neatly made bed are so tempting. But what is so much better about the bedding in the hotel, compared to the bedding in your own house? Let's dig deep into this undeniably coziest and how you can recreate it in your bedroom.
1. High-Quality Cotton Bedding
One of the most significant reasons why hotel bedding feels so luxurious is because of the use of high-quality cotton sheets. Hotels prefer 100% cotton sheets with a percale or sateen weave, which provides breathability, softness, and durability. Cotton also possesses the natural capability of wicking moisture away from you, so you stay cool and comfortable throughout the night. Hotel sheets are also replaced on a regular basis, so the guests receive that crisp, fresh feeling when slipping into bed.
Venice Home offers 100% cotton bed sheets that provide you with the same luxurious comfort you experience in luxury hotels. And they are also OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they have no toxins or chemicals that can harm your skin and are thus healthy for your skin. With a soft cotton duvet cover and plush pillows, you can enjoy that five-star bedroom experience at home.
2. Ideally Layered Bedding
Hotels pile on their beds with multiple layers to achieve ultimate comfort. A typical hotel bed includes:
- A luxurious mattress or a plush mattress topper for added softness
- Freshly washed, crisp sheets
- A thin duvet or comforter covered by a duvet cover with corner ties to keep it in position
- Fluffy down or down-alternative pillows layered on top of each other for optimum support
- A decorative bed runner or throw for that designer finishing touch
Stacking your bed the same allows you to experience that cozy, cloud-like feeling every night. Additionally, frequent fluffing of pillows and back-folding of your duvet can all go towards creating the luxurious feel and appearance.
3. Professional Washing Techniques
Hotels wash their bedding with professional washing detergents and techniques that provide softness and freshness. Washing repeatedly also makes sheets break in eventually, making them even softer. Professional washing consists of hot wash and pressing, which offers thorough cleaning and imparts that fresh, crisp look.
At home, you can do the same by washing your cotton sheets with mild, fragrance-free detergent and avoiding fabric softeners that leave a residue. Sun-drying sheets on a line can also give them a fresh, natural scent that captures the clean quality of hotel bedding. Ironing your sheets on low heat can also give them that smooth, pressed look in luxury hotel rooms.
4. Neutral, Relaxing Color Palette
They keep most of their hotels crisp white bedding because it gives a clean, luxurious, and spa-like environment. White sheets are also easier to spot and remove stains, hence giving a fresh look every time. Softer neutral tones like beige, light gray, or soft pastel tones can also create a calming and upscale environment.
Venice Home offers bed sheets in Crisp White, Soft Pink, Elegant Beige, Light Gray, Anthracite Black, and Mineral Green to suit any bedroom décor while still giving that high-end look. Choosing a neutral color palette for your bedding can encourage a peaceful sleeping area that is reminiscent of a high-end hotel.
5. The Right Room Atmosphere
Hotel rooms are meant to relax. From blackout drapes to the ideal room temperature, tiny details make up the sleep experience. Soft lighting, aromatherapy, and even the ideal mattress firmness can make your overall rest better. Most hotels also incorporate soundproofing components to reduce noise, providing an unbroken sleep experience.
In your own home, recreate the same ambiance by adjusting your lighting, having your bed room air conditioned, and incorporating good bed covers that facilitate comfortable sleeping. Candles using aromatherapy with soothing odors like lavender or eucalyptus and linen sprays with such calming fragrances also aid in inducing a calm atmosphere.
6. The Need for a Supportive Mattress
The secret to a great night's sleep is a supportive, comfortable mattress. Luxurious mattress toppers and high-quality, medium-firm mattresses are typically used in hotels, and these provide exactly the right level of support and softness. Investing in a mattress that suits your sleeping style will make a huge difference to your sleep.
Think about adding a mattress topper for added comfort, like hotels do. A down-alternative or memory foam topper will add extra cushioning, and your bed will feel even more luxurious.
7. The Art of Pillow Placement
Hotels position pillows carefully to be as comfortable as possible and pleasing to the eye. Hotel beds typically have:
- Two large support pillows for the head
- Two softer, cushy pillows for added support
- Decorative throw pillows for luxury
By mixing pillow sizes and firmness options, you can get the same cozy appearance and feel in your bedroom as well. Venice Home cotton pillowcases provide a soft, light surface to rest your head on.
Other Details for Ultimate Comfort
Besides bedding, hotels pay attention to the little things that enhance comfort while sleeping. Some other details you might include in your home setup are:
- Multiple pillow options: Hotels prefer to provide various firmness levels of pillows for different sleeping behaviors.
- Luxurious bathrobes and slippers: Having them in your bedroom can make that little bit of extra special on an evening.
- Freshly made beds every morning: Waking up to a clean bed can improve your mood and reinforce feelings of relaxation and cleanliness.
- Ambient noise machines: Hotels use white noise machines or soothing music to create a peaceful sleeping atmosphere.
