Many people find that sleep comes easier in a hotel room. While the high quality bedding and comfortable mattress have something to do with it, there are many other factors also contributing to your quality sleep. You can create the same relaxing environment in your own bedroom at home with these tips.
Create a temperature that is easy to control
Because hotel rooms are often a single room, you have the ability to easily adjust the temperature of the room. If you are cold, you can turn on the furnace and feel the heat within minutes. If you are hot, you can simply turn off the furnace and the room will quickly shut down. While you might not have a furnace in your room, you can adjust the temperature in other ways. Consider adding a permanent fan to quickly cool down a room that is too hot. Place a space heater by your bed for those especially cold nights.
Your bedding and pajamas should also be chosen for temperature control. Down comforters can be warm, without overheating you. Choose pillowcases that are temperature controlled including boudoir pillow cases and satin pillowcases. Your pajamas should match your normal body temperature. If you are often hot at night, choose a white nightshirt that has heat wicking properties. Ladies nightgowns can keep you warm if you are the person that gets cold in the evenings.
Create an upscale design
Most hotel rooms are modern and open. They are not cluttered, which helps you get uninterrupted sleep. Mimic the hotel design by going with a neutral and open room design. Monograms can make the room look upscale, while also giving it a personal touch. Monogramming has been around for centuries. The hoarding and use of large amounts of household linen became popular around the year 1200 AD, when sheets, tablecloths, and napkins were marked with dark ink to identify their owner. While you do not need to monogram to prevent your items from being stolen, it can increase the overall comfort of your bedroom. You can even monogram your boudoir pillow cases or white nightie.
Purchase a higher thread count of bedding
Hotel bedding is often expensive and of the highest quality. Even if you cannot afford the same thread count as your favorite hotel, you can increase the quality of your sheets. Percale is any cotton woven with a 200 thread count or higher and it will be more durable than a cotton satin of the same thread count. It is also less likely to pill than cotton satin because it has a denser weave. Simply put, thread count is the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. The number is based on the threads woven horizontally (weft) and vertically (warp). Extra threads can also be woven into the weft threads to increase the thread count. Make sure your boudoir pillow cases are also of a high thread count.
Make sure the room smells nice
Hotel rooms are cleaned daily. You might be too busy to clean your room daily and it is unlikely that it needs to be cleaned daily, but you can give it a refreshing feel every day with nice and soothing smells. Fresh scents can promote sleep quality and can encourage relaxation. Just make sure you find a scent that you enjoy and do not go overboard with it. Too much of even the best scent can be a problem. The laundry detergent and fabric softener that you use on your white cotton pajamas and boudoir pillow cases can also affect your sleep quality.
Are you someone who gets a much better night of sleep in a hotel room? Hotel rooms are designed for optimal comfort and quality sleep. Fortunately, you can mimic many of the same strategies used and incorporate them into your own room.
