There’s nothing quite like a luxury hotel bed. The mattress feels just right, the pillows are perfectly plush, and the sheets always look so fresh and crisp. Combined with welcoming decor and pure vacation bliss, it’s a recipe for sleeping soundly once you plop down on the bed. But what if we told you there’s…

How To Create a Hotel-Quality Bed

The only thing better than the look of fluffy hotel bedding is how good it feels to curl up in it after a long day. To bring that comfort home, all you need are a few bedding tricks and upgrades. Start with your favorite set of sheets. If yours are due to be replaced, opt for something soft and cooling for a more comfortable night’s sleep.

Now, here’s the secret to cloudlike bedding: Use a duvet cover and insert that are one size larger than your mattress. When you size up, the duvet cascades over the edges of your bed and makes it look nice and full. If you want even more fluff, there’s a trick for that, too. Instead of using just one duvet insert, layer two of them within your duvet cover. This will give your bed even more loft, and make it extra warm and cozy during the colder months.

If you really want to nail the hotel look, swap your pillows for some filled with down or a down-alternative. These pillows are luxuriously full and easy to mold to your desired shape, whether you prefer to karate-chop your cushions or simply fluff them. Then, you can top off your bed with some luxe accents, like throw pillows with ultrasoft pillow covers.

So, the secret’s out — all it takes to craft a luxury hotel-inspired bed is an oversized duvet cover and one or two duvet inserts. (Bonus points if you spring for hotel-quality pillows!) It’s a fail-proof trick that even interior designers and decorators use to make a bed look plush and inviting.
