Choose hotel-quality sheets without breaking the bank!

When you travel and stay in a hotel, you will have noticed that the sheets are incredibly comfortable and very soft. And you would like to find these sheets to put on your bed and enjoy this comfort on a daily basis. To recreate this comfort at home, it is important to choose the right sheets. Here's how.

Soft sheets like in a hotel

With a few tips, you can recreate the comfort of hotel sheets. Not all sheets available on the market are cosy, soft and comfortable. There are several factors to consider when looking for the perfect sheets. First and foremost, it is important to know what you prefer. Do you like soft sheets with a light, cool feel? Or do you prefer cosy sheets that will keep you warm at night? In any case, it's best to avoid rough, low-quality sheets.
To be sure you choose the perfect sheets, here's what you need to look out for.
The length of the fibres is crucial. The longer they are, the softer (and more resistant) the fabric will be. Short fibres are of lower quality and do not last as long. The weaving method is also important. High-end sheets can be woven in two different ways: percale weave or satin weave. Satin weave offers an incredibly soft fabric with a slightly satin-like appearance. Percale weave is tighter and more airy. The feeling of freshness is incomparable. Satin sheets are heavier and are therefore perfect for the winter months.
The thread count is the other factor to take into account. The higher the thread count, the softer the sheet. Very high-end satin sheets have around 200 threads per cm², while percale has around 120 threads per cm². However, it is important not to focus on the thread count. The material is also very important.

The material, a must when choosing your bed linen

Each type of fabric has its own characteristics. Polyester or polycotton sheets are easy to care for, but they can pill easily and are not very breathable. In addition, they feel rough, which is not what you want in hotel sheets. Percale sheets are easy to care for and very soft, provided you have selected extra-long fibres.
Satin sheets are very soft and silky. Again, it is best to choose an extra-long fibre. Flannel sheets are very warm and fluffy. They are therefore best reserved for cold nights. Cotton jersey is stretchy and soft. Linen is resistant, light and thermo-regulating. 
Silk and bamboo are soft, but not very hard-wearing.

Choose hotel sheets for a good night's sleep

The choice of bed sheets is crucial for an optimal sleeping experience. In hotels, you can find all kinds of sheets: cotton, organic cotton, cotton satin or jersey. Linen has the charm of a natural material, but cotton remains a safe bet. It is easy to care for and is very breathable.
To rest in high-quality sheets, it is important to select quality bed linen. Remember to check the various elements we have indicated and choose a top-of-the-range brand for restful and comfortable nights.
With the sheets available from King of Cotton, you can make your bed cosy and comfortable for a good night's sleep. Choose, for example, percale or Egyptian cotton sheets, ideal for recreating the comfort of luxury hotel sheets. This bed linen is certified hotel quality.
Opting for cotton is a benchmark in the field of quality bed linen. It is a natural, soft and resistant material with high breathability. It is also the material most often chosen in hotels. It is a classic that is easy to maintain and long-lasting. The big hotels mainly use cotton sheets with a high thread count (from 300 to 800 threads).
If you like your beds to have a slightly crumpled look, then washed cotton is ideal. Selecting top-of-the-range bed linen is a sure way to get a better night's sleep and show off your style. The choice of colours is also important. As a general rule, in a hotel room, you will find plain sheets, which will give a clean and classic style. Don't hesitate to choose colours that will complement your decor and favour neutral shades.
