Discover the Best Sheet Type For Your Sleep Style
There’s something unmistakable about the sheets in Marriott hotels: that cool, crisp touch when you slip into bed, the barely-there softness, and the perfect balance of breathability and comfort. We've spent decades perfecting that experience, and now, you can bring it home.
Still, with so many options available, many shoppers ask: "How do I know what bed sheets are best?" Whether you’re upgrading your guest room, refreshing your primary bed, or trying to replicate your favorite hotel stay, this guide will help you understand how to choose sheets that suit your sleep style.
What to Look for When Buying Sheets
When choosing bed sheets, you’ll want to consider:
- Sleep temperature (Are you a hot sleeper?)
- Fabric feel (Do you prefer crisp, silky, or smooth?)
- Maintenance (Do you want wrinkle resistance?)
- Material type (percale, dateen, Tencel, cotton blend)
- Thread count (Quality matters more than number alone)
The right combination creates a sleep environment that feels personal, elevated, and functional, much like the experience of checking into a Marriott suite.
