The feeling of relaxation after a good night's sleep at your hotel doesn't end with every stay. With soft pillows, crisp sheets and premium bedding - Rita Vo compiles her top tips to help you recreate a five-star hotel bed experience in your own home.
White color priority
White may seem like a risky choice, but here are some reasons why you might want to change your mind. Think back to your last hotel stay and the feeling you got after seeing an all-white bed. Not only does white create a halo effect of cleanliness and freshness, but it also makes a room look larger, taller, and brand new.

Tips for keeping your white sheets sparkling white include following these four golden rules: never sleep with makeup on, don’t eat or drink in bed, wipe up spills immediately to avoid stains, and wash your sheets regularly. It may come as a surprise, but white sheets are also often easier to wash than other colors. In addition to bleaching, you can choose to soak them overnight using a common whitening formula or use white vinegar instead of fabric softener. This will neutralize odors and soften your sheets the most effectively.
The more pillows the merrier
You may have noticed that hotels often put two to four throw pillows and one to two throw pillows on their beds. Imagine sinking into a soft cloud with pillows and your Netflix binge. Pillows are not only decorative, but they also help you relax.
Raise your bed
Take your five-star hotel bed experience to the next level, literally! Hotel beds often feature raised mattresses for an extra luxurious feel.
While your ideal bed height will vary depending on your height, hotel beds are typically raised about 60cm (from the floor to the top of the mattress). This is a comfortable height for most people as it allows them to put both feet on the ground and get in and out of bed easily.
Adjust lighting appropriately
Set the mood and create a relaxing atmosphere with the right lighting for your bedroom. Most hotels use warm-colored, low-wattage bulbs to keep the room cozy. Warm, dim lighting is great for relaxing the brain and will lull you into a good night’s sleep.
Invest in a good mattress
The most important thing in any luxury hotel bedroom is the mattress. Setting the right foundation by investing in a good mattress can ensure the best sleep experience possible, and many luxury hotels pamper their guests with custom-made mattresses.
When choosing your mattress, choose one that provides optimal support and comfort. It’s also worth noting that some mattresses have features designed to help regulate body temperature to keep you cool while you sleep. In particular, look for mattresses with pillow-top insoles to enhance your sleep comfort.
