Over the years many fine hotels have upgraded their bedding as an added amenity to consumers. Now you can find luxury hotel bedding from all kinds of properties from motels to hotels to boutique resorts. Because a good night’s sleep is so important they have been busy upgrading hotel rooms to make them stand out better than their competition.
As a result of these amazing hotel bedding upgrades everything on the bed has been improved – from the mattress & box spring to the comforters and the pillows. Probably the most sought after item from a good hotel stay is for someone to want to buy the pillows used at the hotel. Luckily many hotels allow guests a method to buy the same bedding they use but for home use. Many larger properties will place a brochure or catalog within the room. However, many hotels are not large enough to offer a dedicated guest fulfillment program and the happy hotel guest has to find another method of purchasing the bedding for home.
The best way to find out where to buy the hotel bedding for home is to look on the law tag. All ‘filled’ bedding according to FTC regulations has to have a law tag sewn onto the article of bedding by the manufacturer. Most consumers jokingly know these tags as the ‘Remove By Penalty of Law’ tag. When bedding companies make bedding they commonly use a style # or description on the bedding tag. One hotel bedding manufacturer – DOWNLITE, uses a 24 character model number like HOS100PI0050-WHI-020-026 to describe their item. Most bedding also features a manufacturer brand tag and it is very common for a consumer to Google the manufacturer name and find their website where they may sell the bedding. Don’t be fooled by resellers of bedding and instead go straight to the actual hotel bedding manufacturer. The largest bedding manufacturers for hotels include DOWNLITE, Pacific Coast Feather and Carpenter.
To find the law tag on a pillow – you have to first remove the pillow case and then remove the pillow protector – which is commonly zippered on. Finally, you should be able to see the law tag and hence the model # or description. If you see a RN # – ignore it – that simply is the code which tells you the manufacturer name. Always be sure to include additional information if you’re at a hotel to make sure you can find the hotel supplier later on – including hotel name, city, state and law tag info (you can even take a photo of it).
To find the law tag on a comforter is sometimes easier as many hotels do what is called double or triple sheeting. Double or triple sheeting is basically just extra big flat sheets that sandwich a blanket or comforter and then are decoratively folded over. They act in the same way as a duvet cover protector and keep the comforter from being touched by hotel guests.
Some items in a hotel room cannot be purchased easily including bed spreads, bed skirts, drapes and decorative top of bed elements which typically are furnished by a special firm which cuts and sews those decorative fabrics as required by the hotel interior designer or brand that manages that property.
