Receiving glowing guest reviews is one of the most rewarding feelings, especially when it comes to one of the most difficult boxes to check – sleep quality! Hosts spend so much time and energy creating the picture-perfect space for people to vacation, and selecting premium bedding to enhance the sleep environment is equally essential.
Curious how to find the right bedding for your vacation rental? Minoan brand partner, Comphy, is here to bust some common bedding myths to lead vacation rental hosts in the right direction and ensure well-rested, happy guests.
Thread count is actually not king
Thread count measures the number of threads per square inch of fabric. A common misconception is that the higher the thread count, the better the bedding no matter the situation. High thread count does not always equate to the highest quality option when evaluating bedding products for your vacation rental. In fact, high thread count bedding is actually more difficult to launder, does not maintain longevity, and gives a weighted feel.
Instead, pay attention to the quality of the material itself. Microfiber bed sheets consist of finely woven fibers, providing a softer and more durable bedding option that withstands the test of time and requires minimal maintenance. Unlike cotton, microfiber is less prone to wrinkling or shrinking and dries faster. Comphy’s sumptuously microfiber sheets are hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and treated for soil release. The fabric wicks moisture away from the body, ensuring a peaceful and comfortable night's sleep for all types of potential short-term rental guests.
Purchase bedding that works with your guest’s sleep preference, not against it
The most popular or plush option for bedding is appealing, but anticipating guests’ sleep preferences is paramount to providing a good night’s rest. For example, when selecting a duvet, think about things like temperature and climate. Consider if you’re located in a hot or cold environment, and therefore what type of layers would be ideal to offer. This will supply guests with utmost comfort when they stay at your short-term rental.
With Comphy, you can also customize pillows to different sleep preferences by choosing a medium or full fill.
- Firm: Firm pillows are best for side sleepers. This is Comphy’s firmest pillow for head and neck support, filled with Memorelle™ with a fill weight of 35 oz.
- Medium: Ideal for back sleepers, the medium firmness option is for those that like a full pillow with some give. This one is filled with LuxLoft™ Cluster fill with a fill weight of 20 oz.
While it’s not exactly easy to know how every single one of your future guests prefer to sleep, having knowledge of these pillow offerings gives you the opportunity to provide a variety of options.
Add dimension to your vacation rental bedding
While an all-white bed is classic and reminiscent of your favorite luxury hotel, that doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate pops of color and dimension for visual interest. Your vacation rental property’s bedding choices tie room decor together and create a personal sanctuary to retreat at the end of a long day,
For a bed with both character and coziness, opt for white sheets to create a versatile foundation, and then add dimension and interest with different textures, fabrics and finishes. Start with Comphy’s best-selling Sheet Set in white, and complement them with a duvet that creates striking yet sophisticated contrast. Calm shades like gray and blue cultivate a soothing, tranquil atmosphere, while warmer tones like cream offers a laid-back, cool look with a sense of luxury. Try tastefully layering a quilt or blanket at the end of the bed for an interesting design element, as well as adjustable warmth.
