Ever wondered why hotel beds give us clinomania? It is the linens that make us feel so comfortable that makes it hard for us to leave when going back after the vacations. Hotel linens are not regular lines that we use in our homes, rather a hotel bed has layers of linens on the mattress, made of pure cotton, giving it that fluffy and smooth look that makes you jump right in. The packed look of the mattress creates a peaceful ambiance, making you feel calm and relaxed.
We often wonder if we can create our beds the same as a hotel bed to experience luxurious and comfortable restful sleep. However, under this thought, we overlook the expense behind it. Let us have a look at some of the factors that will explain why we can never use hotel linens in our houses:
“Peaceful Sleep- Extortionate”
In this era of high competition, we get fatigued that our mental and physical state longs for a peaceful sleep. In that state, we often reminisce about the hotel beds, how comfortable they are, and thought even crosses our mind to change our bed sets to hotel linens. However, the question arises whether our wallet can even wonder about this though. Hotel linens are expensive. The thread count is somewhere between 250-600, which makes the bed fluffier and more restful.
The cotton used for the bed includes Egyptian Cotton, Pima Cotton, and Supima Cotton. All these are of the finest quality. The hotel beds do not have one layer of sheets rather, the mattress is covered under more, with a mattress pad covered under the sheet, making the bed softer. Therefore, price is a key factor in influencing your decision of turning your beds to the same as hotel beds. With the average household income we earn, it might not be a logical decision to treat ourselves with a peaceful sleep at such expensive rates.
“Quality Comes With A Price”
Quality is one major factor that attracts us. The quality of hotel lines lies in the way the sheets are produced. They are produced with thinner threads. The thinner thread indicates the softness of the sheet. The type of cotton used is pure, 100% natural. This reasons why we want our beds to have the same quality. The comfort found in hotel linens is nowhere else to be found. Once resided in a hotel, your physical and mental state will forever be looking to get that experience again.
However, again we are tied by the high price that is to be paid to gain such a luxurious experience. Hotel linens do not compromise on quality and thus, neither does the price.
“High Maintenance”
With our busy schedules we are so exhausted to do house chores, how will we find time to constantly provide care to the hotel linens before they wear out. The quality that these hotel linens have requires your attention towards it. Hotels have staff to get this work done but we do not have the strength or time to do so.
Hotel linens require high maintenance, they need to be washed under specific conditions and specific times. In this era of being in a constant race to fulfill our dreams and succeed in our careers, it is impossible to take out time and look after the sheets and covers. Do you know how many times a sheet is washed in a hotel? You will be shocked to know the three-digit number. Yes, three digits. They are washed around 300 times in a year. This is the level of maintenance that is required for the hotel linens to last long and provide the same comfort throughout.
Moreover, cleanliness is as important as other caring conditions. We often fulfill our snack time in bed while watching a movie or something, and in midst of that, we even overlook the mess we make while eating and drinking. This cannot be done with the hotel linens. They need to be clean for them to provide you the comfort and longevity.
“Broken Expectations”
Now, you all must be a bit disappointed but hey not all is lost yet. Here is some good news you can still have a safe and sound sleep experience if you choose a non-synthetic fabric such as cotton for your bedding accessories. Hotels use more than one layer of a sheet to provide that extra comfort, but you can still be comfortable in one layer of cotton sheets and cotton quilt covers. They are breathable and have temperature-regulating properties. The softness it carries will provide you with nothing but a night of peaceful sleep.
