What bedding do hotels use?
A classic hotel mattress uses crisp white sheets to enhance the overall appeal of the bed, signalling cleanliness and achieving a luxurious, classy look. Luxury hotels invest in good quality sheets, using either 100% cotton or Egyptian cotton to achieve the super-soft, luxury feel.
Want to know how to make your bed like a hotel would? The triple sheet method, where hotels layer a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and middle sheet, adds a protective layer and achieves a polished, elegant look. Hotels tend to use down comforters because, their soft, fluffy feathers provide both warm comfort and lightweight, breathable temperature control.
3 top tips for sleeping better in a hotel
Sleeping well while travelling, whether for work or leisure, can be difficult. Taking away home comforts and replacing them with unfamiliar spaces and locations can play havoc with our sleep cycle. Here is our advice for solid sleep while you are away.
1. Try and stick to a bedtime routine
Admittedly, the words routine and travel don’t gel well, but maintaining a familiar sleep routine will help you get quality sleep. Avoid too many late nights and, as nightmarish as it sounds, a 7am alarm on holiday will help you drift off the next evening.
2. Pack a sleep eye mask and pillow case
Organisation is key to good sleep while away. An eye mask puts you in complete darkness, erasing the hyper-awareness you feel when you’re in an unfamiliar place. A pillowcase can remind you of your home environment, putting you at ease – if you invest in one of the bundles above, you’ll have one of hotel quality anyway.
3. Get your room temperature right
According to experts, the perfect temperature to fall asleep is between 60 and 68 degrees F. This slightly lower temperature follows the natural circadian rhythm of your body, which tends to cool as we get sleepy.
