There's nothing quite like sinking into a luxuriously made hotel bed after a long day. The good news is you can recreate that same sense of opulence and comfort in your own bedroom.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your bed like a luxury 5 star hotel, using some simple tips and quality products from Luff Bedding.
1. Start With a High-Quality Mattress
Importance of the Right Foundation
A good mattress is the foundation of a luxurious bed. Opt for a high-quality mattress that provides excellent support and comfort.
Tips:
- Invest in a mattress that caters to your sleep preferences, such as our Cloudtec® memory foam mattress, which offers superior support and pressure relief.
- Protect your investment with a durable, waterproof mattress protector.
2. Choose Premium Bedding
The Feel of Luxury
High-thread-count sheets and bedding made from premium materials like bamboo or cotton contribute significantly to the luxurious feel of a hotel bed.
Tips:
- Select sheets with a thread count of 300-500 for a perfect balance of softness and durability.
- Our bamboo silk sheets are an excellent choice for their unmatched softness and breathability.
- Always use freshly laundered sheets to enhance the experience.
3. Master the Layering Technique
Creating the Perfect Layers
Hotels often use a specific layering technique to create that plush, inviting look.
Tips:
- Start with a mattress protector and fitted sheet. Ensure both are smooth and taut.
- Add a flat sheet on top, tucking it tightly under the mattress using hospital corners.
- Place a lightweight blanket or duvet on top, ensuring it’s evenly spread.
4. Add Luxurious Pillows
The Importance of Pillow Variety
Pillows are an essential element in achieving a hotel-like bed. Different kinds of pillows offer both support and aesthetic appeal.
Tips:
- Mix and match pillows: Use a combination of firm pillows for sleeping and softer, decorative ones for layering.
- Our Cloudtec® memory foam bamboo pillows provide exceptional support, while our bamboo pillows add a touch of luxury.
- Arrange the pillows by placing the sleeping pillows flat against the headboard, followed by decorative pillows in front.
5. Incorporate a Plush Duvet or Comforter
Adding Comfort and Elegance
A high-quality duvet or comforter adds the final touch of elegance and warmth to your bed.
Tips:
- Choose a duvet or comforter with the appropriate fill for your climate, such as down or hypoallergenic alternatives.
- Opt for a duvet cover in a neutral or coordinating colour that complements your sheets.
- For an extra luxurious look, fold the duvet or comforter in thirds and place it at the foot of the bed.
6. Use a Bed Scarf or Throw
The Finishing Touch
A bed scarf or throw adds a stylish layer and completes the look.
Tips:
- Select a bed scarf or throw that contrasts with your duvet or comforter.
- Drape it across the foot of the bed or folded neatly at the centre for an elegant touch.
7. Pay Attention to Small Details
Adding the Hotel-Style Extras
It's the little details that elevate the experience from good to extraordinary.
Tips:
- Fluff and plump pillows and cushions to make them look inviting.
- Spritz linens lightly with a linen spray for a fresh, calming scent.
- Place a decorative tray with a book, a small plant, or a water carafe on the bedside table to complete the hotel-like ambiance.
8. Regular Maintenance
Keeping It Pristine
Regularly maintaining your bed ensures it stays as inviting as the day it was made.
Tips:
- Wash your sheets and pillowcases weekly.
- Rotate and air out your mattress every few months to keep it fresh.
- Fluff and reshape your pillows regularly to maintain their form.
