We Found Bedding That Feels Like Sleeping At A 5-Star Hotel

We asked an interior designer which materials make for the most comfortable night's sleep.
Open Image Modal

As much as we love and appreciate a chic interior design aesthetic, a home should also be cozy, livable and comfortable and theres no better place to make this happen than the bedroom. Whats the point in having a perfectly decorated space if it is uninviting, cold or uncomfy? This is especially true when it comes to your bed. And while fancy throw pillows and a pretty blanket here or there might make it look great, you also want it to feel good, too. 

Natalie Rebuck, principal designer of Re: Design Architects  in Brooklyn and Southold, New York, told HuffPost that she finds the combination of a lot of fluffy pillows and crisp sheets to be very inviting. The more pillows the better! she stated. I dont think you can have a cozy bed with anything less than three pillows per head. However, she was sure to point out that youll want to be sure to find ones that hold up well and are worth the investment.

Rebuck also emphasized the importance of buying a duvet that is quilted, so the fluff doesnt end up smashed in one corner of the cover. And after a recent stay at a five-star hotel, she fell in love with the idea of having a duvet for each person in the bed. My husband and I each had one and it was brilliant; Ill be doing this when Im next in the market for bedding, she said.

Finding the right pair of sheets is also key to creating a bed environment you wont ever want to leave, and Rebuck is a big fan of sateen sheets . They are not slick like silk sheets, but they are super soft and have a lovely sheen to them, she said. 

Below, weve rounded up a list of items based on Rebucks recommendations to help make your bed feel like a cozy destination. You just might feel like youve been transported to a luxurious hotel without ever leaving the comfort of your own home.

A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows
Natalie Rebuck, prinicipal designer at Re: Design Architects , loves the Beckham Hotel Collection pillows. "They are very fluffy and really hold up over the years," she said. These cooling pillows are meant to acommodate all kinds of sleepers, whether you prefer catching zzz's on your back, stomach or side. They're available in queen or king sizing.
2
The Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Core sheet set
Rebuck pointed us to sateen sheets for their luxurious, hotel quality-like feel. This set, an editor's pick from Brooklinen, is as soft as it gets. Made of buttery sateen, these luxe sheets are a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their sleep space. They have a 480-thread count and a slight shine that just screams sophistication. The set comes with one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and two pillowcases, and in a variety of color options in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king and Cal king sizes.

Brooklinen
A Brooklinen down comforter
Per Rebuck's suggestion, we found a popular down comforter that features a quilted stitch to keep its filling in place. Brooklinen offers this top-rated down comforter in a variety of weights. You can pick from the summer-friendly lightweight option, an insulating ultra-warm weight or all-season fill intended to provide year-round comfort. The blanket features down cluster fill with a cotton sateen shell that is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. I have this comforter and can attest to it being incredibly fluffy, cloud-like and cozy while still remaining lightweight. I far prefer it to any other down or down-alternative comforter I've tried.
4
Buffy Cloud comforter
If you prefer a down-alternative comforter, then you definitely want to check out this popular option from Buffy. It's an award-winning comforter that is sustainably made and cruelty-free. It was designed to be comfortable year-round and is made of Tencel lyocell fibers that absorb moisture more efficiently than cotton, so you won't overheat or wake up a sweaty mess. It's available in twin/twin XL, full/queen and king/Cal king sizing.
5
The Quince luxury organic sateen bedding bundle
Quince does luxury right, but without sky-high prices. Their sateen sheets are made from organic cotton and are buttery smooth and breathable and get softer with use. The bundle includes a duvet cover, two shams, a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and pillowcases one standard for twin and full sets, two standard sizes for queen sets and two king sizes for king and Cal king sets. You can purchase it in one of 14 colors and patterns in sizes twin, full, queen, king and Cal king.
6
Wrinkle Guard's 400-thread count cotton sheet set
Available in seven colors in sizes full, queen, split king, king and Cal king, these sheets have a stylish embroidered trim and will look as crisp as can be for a long time to come. They are treated to help prevent wrinkles and each set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillowcases.
7
A four-pack of Downlite medium-density pillows
Pack on the pillows with this set of four from Target. They're made with soft, cloud-like hypoallergenic filling and wrapped in smooth, breathable cotton. They're ideal for stomach and back sleepers and can be used for both sleeping and decorative purposes. They're available in king and jumbo sizing.

A Pointehaven sateen sheet set
Available in seven colors in queen, king and Cal king sizes, these sateen sheet sets are priced under $100, making them absolutely irresistible. Soft and silky without feeling too slick, they include a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases.

Check out a TikTok of the reading chair in action. It has a spot to charge your phone/Kindle, a cup holder and a side pocket to keep your current read in, and it pulls out into a full sleeper bed.

Promising review: "Amazing reading chair/lounger. If you're one of those people who needs to change positions often while reading, this chair is the bomb. I leave a charging cord in the arm for my phone and headphones, slide out the foot, and grab whatever book I chucked under there. I can lay down, recline, sit straight, etc. with ease. The foot stool part, being collapsible and held up with thin bars, did kind of sink a little after awhile but nothing that makes the chair feel broken or look lopsided. It's a solid little guy and I plan on picking another one up eventually for another room I like to read in." Calvin Andrews

Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." 1Thand

Promising review: "This has changed our outdoor living. Love spending time just sitting by it and watching the flames. Its made very well and I love how easy it is to use. One 5-gallon tank of propane lasts about four to five hours. I use it for about 30 minutes at a time in the morning and evening having coffee or winding down...I enjoy it mainly for the ambience it creates on my back porch. I would definitely recommend it if you want an attractive, well-built fire pit as a spot to gather around on a cool evening and make smores or just talk. Would buy again for sure." Derek S.

Promising review: "Installation was quick and easy; it's very, very slim to the wall profile-wise. The heat output is great, and it's quiet. It's heating approximately 1,000-sq.-ft. basement to comfortable levels. I was frozen down here; now I just set the fireplace on low, and it's 72 degrees. Plus, it looks awesome, and the remote is easy enough to use. I've had tons of compliments on it." m.code (credit:www.amazon.com)

Promising review: "I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If Im in the room with it, its probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because Im paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say its fine. Its very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days, even with it running daily. Its a solid 12/10 from me." Violet

This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around.

Check out a TikTok recommending the candle lamp warmer .

Promising review: "This was perfect for my wife and me. She especially loves to have the scent of candles throughout the day, but because of our pets, we can't have lit candles. We tried this with both a jar candle and a glass bowl with some wax melts, and it worked perfectly for both. One of my wife's favorite features is the on/off switch on the cord, rather than having an ugly button or knob on the lamp/light itself. It's really a statement piece, like a desk lamp with a pretty wooden base. Overall, it works well for what it is and is well worth the money." Scott Rarden

A Voluspa candle in a gorgeous jar(16 of27)
Open Image Modal
I would sell my soul for a French Cade Lavender Voluspa candle, no joke. It's absolutely one of my all time favorite candles. I typically buy one for my sister once a year because they're easily her number one fave. There's something that feels so elegant about the design of the glass jars and scents of these candles that keeps me coming back to them time after time. They're known for being a bit pricey but, honestly, they're worth it. Additionally, Volupsa is considered a small business!

Promising review: "This candle smells INCREDIBLE and lasts FOREVER! Ive purchased this exact candle several times over the years and plan on continuing to do so so in the future. The lavender scent isnt too strong but does make my room smell heavenly almost immediately after lighting it. I would like to eventually try other scents but I cant tear myself away from this one!"

I have these velvet throw pillow covers! I break them out during the holiday season when I want to re-theme my living room to look a bit more festive. They hold up very well in the wash, really are extremely soft, and look great on display.

Promising review: "This is the second set of these I've purchased (bought two different colors to change out when one set is in the laundry), and I completely love them. They are so soft, easy to put the pillows into, and they come out of the laundry looking brand-new. Get a couple of different colors and switch out for holidays, or when desiring a quick easy decor change. I highly recommend them." Melanie Mastin

One side is faux-fur, and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.

Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing Id grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it, and it's seriously so cozy and well-made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. Its incredibly soft and isnt the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so Im here to tell you if youre on the fence about buying this...do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft, and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." SK

Promising reviews: "Buy this chair. Ive bought so many office chairs over the years. The classic Goldilocks story: This ones too bulky, this ones too flimsy, that one has too much hard plastic, yada yada. I think this one might be it. Really comfortable, solid build, attractive, but the best feature is the wide seat. I can crisscross my legs easily to relieve the pressure in my hips, which is life-changing if youre chained to your desk sitting in meetings all day." Larissa Harrison
