Why go on vacation when you can enjoy the premium comfort of a hotel in your bedroom?

Be aware. Almost all the bedding suppliers say they have “hotel quality bedding,” but most of the time it’s just a bunch of fluff.
When you’re looking for new bedding, here’s what make genuine hotel bedding different from the rest:
They’re actually in hotels – make sure the bedding manufacturer can back up the claim of having their bedding in 4 and 5 star places. Hotel bedding has to have reliable stitching and a resilient fabric to survive the wear and tear of constant washings.
Hotel collection down comforters are big and fluffy because they have over 550 fill power of goose down feathers. Most importantly, quality comforters have a barrier weave technology that prevents those little feathers from leaking out over time. These comforters will last for years, giving you wonderful insulation for any season.
They’re softer – unlike standard pillows, many of the hotel collection pillows feature an inner pillow of small feathers supported by an outer layer of down feathers. This construction maintains the pillow’s strength and integrity without compromising the overall comfort.
Also, many bedding manufacturers like to inflate the thread count in their sheets using a high pick and high ply construction. Sheets with multiple picks are noticeably bumpy and can have a more rough texture.
Genuine hotel collection bed sheets use a single pick/ply construction, which can only yield a 400-thread count, but these sheets are light, soft and strong.
You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to spot an impostor. Keep a keen eye out for good quality, and you will have the bedding of your dreams.
