What Kind of Linen Do 5-Star Hotels Use?


 

At Brent Linen Hire, we know that when it comes to creating a luxurious experience, every detail matters — especially the sheets. If you've ever wondered what makes hotel beds feel so crisp, soft, and indulgent, you're not alone. Here’s a peek behind the curtain at what kind of linen 5-star hotels use to achieve that signature sleep experience.

Material: Only the Best

Luxury hotels opt for 100% cotton, and more specifically, Egyptian cotton. This premium material is loved for its long, silky fibers that create an incredibly soft and durable fabric. Some high-end establishments may also use Pima or Supima cotton, which offer comparable quality.

Thread Count: The Sweet Spot

While many assume that higher thread count equals higher quality, that’s not always the case. Most 5-star hotels choose linens with a thread count between 300 and 600. This range offers the ideal balance of softness, breathability, and longevity.

  • 300–400 TC percale weave: crisp and cool, ideal for a fresh hotel bed feel

  • 400–600 TC sateen weave: smooth and silky with a subtle sheen

Weave: Percale vs. Sateen

  • Percale weave gives a matte finish and a cool, crisp touch, perfect for warmer environments or those who prefer a classic feel.

  • Sateen weave provides a softer, silkier texture and a slight sheen, great for a more luxurious vibe.

Finish and Detailing

Top-tier hotel sheets often feature additional touches like mercerization for enhanced smoothness and durability, as well as double-stitched hems or decorative borders for a refined appearance.

Colour: Always White

You’ll rarely see anything but white linens in a 5-star hotel. They convey cleanliness, calm, and timeless elegance, and they’re easy to launder to perfection.
