There’s no cosier feeling of luxury than walking into a hotel room and seeing crisp, squeaky clean, white bedding that makes you want to dive straight in, bedtime or not. White bedding conjures a sense of calm and your bed is usually a focal point for calmness. This isn’t the only reason that white is the go-to colour for luxury bedding, though.
It’s about cleanliness! When you go to a hotel, you want to know that the bed you’re sleeping in is clean, after all, many other people have slept there too. If the bedding were a darker shade, say for instance black, how would you be sure that it’s fresh and not covered in stains? By using white wedding, hotels are being transparent.
White bedding strikes the perfect balance of not being boldly overpowering and creating a relaxing, sleep-inducing atmosphere.
However, you shouldn’t have to tip-toe in fear about messing on your own white bedding. If you are worried about easily-visible stains, or the white colour losing its brilliance over time – simply pop a fabric whitener into your washing machine when washing your bedding.
Tips to keep your bedding white and crisp
- Protect your bedding – prevention is better than a cure, so try to not eat on your bed while having white bedding.
- Don’t allow your pets onto your bed with dirty paws.
- Remove your makeup properly.
- Wash your bedding regularly.
- Use natural stain removers like lemon juice.
- Don’t expose your white bedding to too much sun.
Best fabric in white
Natural fabrics are the best for white bedding. So cotton, linen and hemp. These can be washed on high temperatures, which removes stains.
