Turn Your Bed Into a 5-Star Hotel Retreat

There’s nothing quite like falling sound asleep in a perfectly prepared, fluffy hotel bed. Somebody else has already made it for you (and did a wonderful job with it), so it feels even better. Just the right amount of support, soft bedsheets, amazing smell, perfect set with more pillows than anybody could possibly need – all elegantly and expertly wrapped in a satin cover. With a setup like this, you drifting away into the dreamland, not just falling asleep.

It’s just next-level.

Anyone who’s ever had the privilege of experiencing that 5-star comfort knows exactly what we’re talking about. That’s a high a lot of has been chasing ever since. For those who do – we’ve got some great news.

Now you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.

Why Quality Sleep Matters

That may sound like such a silly topic – of course, sleep is important. We know that. What we may not realise, however, is how much it matters. It’s quite simply essential to pretty much every single process in our bodies, which is so much more than just a question of feeling energetic the next day. Sleep affects our immune system, improves metabolism, and helps with learning and forming long-term memories. That’s precisely why its quality is such a big deal. There are certain aspects and habits that help improve sleep drastically, but we’re not here to talk about that - let’s focus on the actual setup.

Luxurious Memories

We love holiday trips. That hotel experience… We tend to put it on a high pedestal. But the question remains – how do these high-end resorts do it? What’s their secret?

The Right Support

Quality mattress is the heart and soul of your little project, there’s no doubt about that. That’s why it’s so crucial to make the right call. You get what you pay for in this business. Since luxurious hotels often have custom-made mattresses, you may not be able to get the exact same model, but you can still get close enough. There’s one condition though – you shouldn’t go for the cheapest options.

Monochromatic Secret

The first thing you’ll notice in the luxurious hotel is that these rooms always look so fresh and clean. Why is that? We’ll give you a hint. Take a look at the bed. Even those with a rather opulent style or bold décor choices have this one thing in common – they tend to be quite simple and minimalistic. And the sheets are all-white maybe with just a small duvet adding a splash of colour. Grey sheets are not a bad idea either, but to get that halo effect, all-white is the best option.

Thread Counts

The main thing we love about hotel-level bedsheets is how soft they feel against the skin. To find that perfect set for your home, you should go for luxurious materials with – and this is extremely important – the highest thread count possible. The higher it is, the softer they are. And that goes for any luxury material whether it’s Egyptian cotton or high-quality linen.

Fit Is King

This piece of advice is great for almost any occasion – but it’s not going to work here. Do your best to stay away from fitted sheets if possible. Have you ever seen that elastic band around hotel linen? Doubtful. They go for a larger size and hide the excess fabric under the mattress, which just looks so much more aesthetic and slick.

Birds of the Feather

Another aspect refers to both pillows and sheets – and it’s quality filling. While there are definitely some benefits to using memory foam or other synthetic materials, if you’re after that genuine luxury feel and experience, there’s just no space for that. Down and feather is the way to go for your king pillow. They’re very soft and provide pretty good support. The final decision is yours to make – your comfort is the top priority here.

Bedside Décor

It’s all about attention to detail. And one of those details is a space around your bed. The perfect choice is a bedside table. It has to walk the line between maximal and minimal – in that, it has to be extremely practical and eye-catching enough to fit into your décor and, at the same time, not loud enough to overpower everything else. It’s a utilitarian finishing touch. Make sure to keep all the clutter away and stick to essentials – your lamp, a clock, or a book if you like. Maybe a piece of art, a nice candle or some flowers to add a bit of flair.

Hotel-like Comfort at Home

That’s it. We hope this simple guide helps you build your very own 5-star retreat at home, one pillow at a time. We get it, now that this hotel-level comfort is at your fingertips every night, you might be questioning the very point of ever leaving.

But hey, live a little – don’t forget to take a little vacation every now and then. Do it for the views, the comfort is already here.
