Why Do Hotel Sheets Feel So Good?

Hotel sheets are just special.

We’ve all been there. You’ll be laying in bed at a nice hotel, and you’ll notice how soft the sheets are. You’ll notice how wonderful they feel against your skin.

You might even feel disappointed in not having comparable sheets at home! So why do hotel sheets – like this set from Standard Textile –  feel so good, and so much better than your sheets at home?

It’s not a simple answer. For one, part of it is psychological. You’re most likely staying in that hotel for vacation purposes – far away from your problems at home.

This also means that you’re in a relaxation type of mind frame. Given that, some of the enjoyment you feel from hotel sheets is probably a bit of a placebo effect.
