Many popular hotels take pride in the luxury they offer their guests, but perhaps the best part of spending the night in a hotel is sleeping on a luxurious and plush bed. Let’s be honest: hotel beds have a different level of comfort that we get easily excited about.
Long after the vacation is over, we find ourselves thinking about the perfectly fluffed hotel bed we slept well in. The good news is that it is actually possible (and fairly easy) to replicate the hotel bedroom vibe in your own bedroom at home. Here are some helpful tips to help you recreate that indulgent, pampering hotel bedroom environment in a few easy steps. You don’t even need a huge budget!
Get a Good Mattress
Ever wonder why you sleep better in a hotel suite than in your own bed? It’s not just because of the relaxing views or the lush gardens. You sleep better if you have a good mattress to start with! So, invest in a high-quality mattress — find out what type of mattress you like and take note of your preference when it comes to comfort and support.
A new mattress is more breathable, softer and comfy, and it will most likely regulate the temperature better than your old mattress. If you’re unsure which mattress to buy, visit any Garner Appliance & Mattress store, and our expert staff will help you choose the best one.
Why is a Good Thread Count Important?
A gorgeous set of sheets will certainly jazz up your bedroom. Choose a set of crisp 300-thread count sheets made with Egyptian cotton for superb softness. When it comes to furnishing your bed with a sumptuous feel, thread count is one of the most important factors to consider. Keep in mind that the higher the thread count, the softer the fabric. Just a reminder that deep pocket sheets are also perfect for thicker mattresses because they keep everything neatly tucked in.
You can also opt for white-colored sheets (much like the ones in hotels), so you don’t have to deal with issues like color fading. Consider spraying your linens with a softly scented fabric spray, such as lavender to help relax for a better night’s sleep.
Create Layers with a Combination of Duvet and Comforter
Add layers of plush bed coverings in a range of textures and fabrics to achieve that iconic hotel look. Try adding a white goose-down comforter to your bed to transform your space into the most classic hotel room look.
Remember that all comforters and duvets are not created equal — some styles feature a lighter fill, while heavier comforters are for those who run cold overnight. Make sure to consider your personal preferences to keep you cozy all night.
Choose the Right Pillows
A good rule of thumb is to have two to four pillows on your bed. This gives your head and neck the support they need and helps soothe you from head to toe. Feel free to mix and match pillow styles, sizes, types, and designs according to your liking.
Old and used pillows tend to look flat, so don’t forget to fluff your pillows. This is a small but crucial step in making your bed feel more welcoming after a busy day.
Bring the Hotel Bedroom Vibe Home
Whether you want to update your master bedroom or design a posh guest room for your friends, recreating the opulent feeling of spending the night in a hotel suite is fairly easy. With a few simple changes to your bed, you don’t need to wait for the next trip to get your well-deserved R&R.
