When you think about the most relaxing, luxurious places you've stayed in, you'll notice that when it comes to sleep, it's not just the product that makes you feel this way. High-end hotels and accommodation use a variety of tricks to create the perfect indulgent atmosphere for guests to truly unwind and get a great night's sleep, so they wake each day relaxed and rejuvenated.

But how can you create this at home?

We have some tips to help you create the most indulgent atmosphere for your sleep, so you'll never want to leave your bed.

 

Invest in High Quality Sleepwear

How can you get a good night's sleep if you don't feel good in what you sleep in?

The trick here is to move away from synthetic fibres and choose sleepwear made from high-quality, breathable, natural fabrics.

A beautifully made night dress in pure cotton, for example, will feel lightweight against the skin and allow it to breathe more easily through the night compared to synthetic fibres that cling and trap heat.

 

Upgrade Bedding Thread Count

The higher the thread count, the softer your bedding feels. It's that simple, and when you stay in hotels that ooze luxury, you can bet they're making your bed with high-quality, high-thread cotton. Most likely Egyptian cotton.

For your home, again, you need to find bedding that is Egyptian cotton or Pima, which has longer fibres producing a finer, stronger weave. Pair this with a lightweight duvet rather than something heavy or dense, and you'll notice the difference immediately.

 

Add Scent to Your Bedroom

Scent is one of the most powerful yet underused tools in creating a bedroom that feels special, not just basic.

You want to spread the fragrance throughout the room evenly, not just rely on one source. For example, you can use a lavender detergent to clean your bedding and layer that in the room with a lavender plant, for example, or a diffuser that spreads the fragrance around the room.

From here, you can use the same scent on your body, or you can use sleep sprays or sleep-formulated body products. These types of products use lavender to help calm the body and mind, and when used in conjunction with other sources, the effect builds.

But you don't just need to use lavender, you can use scents such as sandalwood or neroli if you prefer. Just choose something that makes you feel good and relaxes you.

 

Layer Your Lighting

Layered lighting instantly makes a room feel elevated.

Layered lighting is placing lighting at different points and heights within the room in different ways. Don't just rely on your main ceiling light; you want to add string lights, wall lights, floor lamps, lights around your dressing table, and mirrors, etc.

It's the combination of soft lighting at various points that builds up to help you create different types of atmospheres for different activities within your bedroom.

Choose warm light bulbs, not bright white or harsh colours, as your brain responds to light levels. So, for a better sleep, softly lit rooms make the transition so much easier and make you feel calmer and relaxed, too.
