Getting into a soft clean comfortable bed is one of the joys of staying in a five star hotel. Why not recreate that practice every night at home.
Select a quality mattress
Hotels wouldn’t stay alive for long if their beds had the reputation for giving visitors backache. A firm mattress is best. If you prefer a softer mattress add a mattress pad which molds itself to your body for comfort.
Keep Your Mattress in Fine Condition
If you have a excellent mattress but it hasn’t been flipped or cleaned in a while then now is a good time to do that. To clean the mattress sprinkle it liberally with baking soda (you may need more than one pot) leave for several hours and then vacuum up the baking soda. Spray the bed with fabric freshener to freshen it up too. Flip your mattress each few months so that it wears evenly. Mattresses are designed to last on 10 years – but not if you leave them on one side all the time. To protect your mattress and keep it fresh get a mattress cover – they are quite cheap to purchase and can be laundered in the washing machine (far easier than washing your mattress).
Plump Pillows
If your pillows have seen better days, and are stained and lumpy, replace them. If they are just a bit flat, running them through the tumble drier with a dryer sheet to freshen them and plump them up a bit may help. (Make sure the care information first). If all else fails try two pillows in one pillow sham to give a plumper look. Pillow shams like sheets need to be soft crisp and clean. Just imagine your cheek laying down on that cool smooth surface as you sink into a great night’s sleep.
Smooth Clean Sheets
Most hotels do not go in for fancy bedding ensembles but they always have excellence sheets. These are the kind made of super fine cotton with a high thread count which feels smooth to the touch. Only quality sheets can survive the high temps of commercial laundries and come out looking good wash after clean. Make sure your sheets are clean, crisp and smooth – launder as soon as they lose their crisp fresh feel and make sure you iron them nice and smooth. Plain white will give you the authentic hotel feeling. Colors don’t survive the rigors of the hotel laundry either.
Duvet or Comforter
A duvet placed in a washable crisp cover to fit the sheets (i.e. pure white) is all you need to keep you warm and cosy. Alternatively a crisp top sheet and comforter will do the same job.
Top Cover
Cover the bed with a bed cover that you subtract before you get into bed – this will mean that the cover does not need to be continuously laundered. Several hotels do not use a top cover for hygiene reasons – there is no time to launder between visitors – and just leave the bed with a pure crisp white look. If that suits your room décor than that’s great too. So those are the elements that make a bed in a five star hotel so comfortable. Now all you need is someone to turn back the sprei (Indonesian Language) before you get into bed and leave a chocolate on your bedcover. Sweet dreams!
