To iron, or not to iron? That is the question!

When talking to people face to face, I will always ask, "do you love the feeling of hotel sheets? ".

I must admit, I have never received a "nah" to that question.

The thought of hopping into clean, white, crisp hotel sheets always get me a little giddy with excitement.

And how does the hotel get that perfect crisp feel? They iron their sheets to an inch of their lives.

It's a bit like blow drying your hair versus using hair straighteners. You are going to achieve a sleeker look with those tongs.

Sheets are pretty easy to tend when using a good iron. You can reduce time by folding your sheet in half before working on it.

So back to, to iron or not to iron? If you love that fresh, crisp Hotel feeling, consider giving ironing a go. Pop on a bit of Graham Norton and you'll be done in minutes.

Sweet well!

What we sleep on at home

Christina is menopausal, and like most men, I've always slept hot. The only reason we sell the sheets we sell, is because after 15 years sleep testing sheets in a temperature controlled bedroom, these sheets did the best job of regulating temperature.

But they're not a miracle cure, sleep is complex. You can't sleep in PJs or other bed clothes and expect temperature regulating sheets like ours to work. Likewise with puffy duvets or any kind of human-made fibre like poly/cotton or rayon - or even rayon blends sold as bamboo/cotton. Avoid! And if they work for you, great. But that just means you don't struggle with temperature as much as we do.

Natural fibres like cotton or linen, woven for airflow work best but we even found linen hotter than our sheets - thickness for any reason is always hotter. This also means you have to be able to see through the sheet. The trick? Find finer sheets made from decent cotton, yarn and weaving so you still get decent wear. Hence The Hotel Sheet.
