Hotels set a pretty high bar for your guests’ expectations. Get ahead of the curve by creating the perfect, hotel-style bed that maximizes guest comfort.

Watch my video to see the process in action! I’ve also written the steps below.

Step 1:  Build the Foundation

Place a feather bed on top of your mattress and cover it with a waterproof mattress pad. This creates a comfy, seamless foundation. Bonus: it also protects your mattress investment.

Step 2: Sheets

Place a white fitted sheet over the mattress and foundation. Then add a white flat sheet.  Don’t forget to tuck the white flat sheet on all sides. Think hospital corners!

Step 3: Duvet and filling

Add a white duvet cover with a nice down blanket. Feathers or a down alternative is best. For summertime bedding, we recommend a heavier cotton blanket with some weaving—it gives the nice weighted feeling without trapping too much heat.

Step 4: Fold & Tuck to Perfection

Don’t forget to fold down the top twelve to eighteen inches of the duvet and flat sheet. Tucking the duvet is optional, depending on your preference.

Step 5: Pillows

Make sure you layer your pillows as well. One layer for protection, and a second to create a seamless look and feel. Add pillow protectors, then add a crisp, white pillowcase. Don’t forget to tuck in the ends of the pillowcase to create that seamless hotel bed look.

Step 6: Final Touches

Now for the fun part—your creative touches. Add a bed scarf or throw blanket to the foot of the bed and some fun throw pillows that match your decor.
