A fluffy doona, clean and soft sheets, an abundance of plush pillows … sleeping in a hotel bed is truly a dreamy experience. If you’re like me and struggle to say goodbye to a hotel’s snug bedding, I Love Linen shares with CW their top tips so you can transform your bed at home into a cosy sanctuary.

Stick to white linens

Fresh, all-white linen creates a halo effect and gives the room a feeling of cleanliness.

Don’t use a fitted sheet

A flat sheet, rather than a fitted sheet, helps to create a more inviting bedroom haven.

Always go with the highest thread count possible

The ultimate luxury bedding requires the highest thread count to create a smooth and beautifully textured look. I Love Linen recommends 1000 thread count sheets made from fine cotton woven tightly together for superior quality.

CW tip: Higher thread counts result in hotter sheets.

More is more when it comes to pillows

To put your dreams at ease, pastel pillows tend to calm the mind and create a light atmosphere. Gingham, buttery hues, and neutral colourways are beautiful options.
