When you own a short-term rental property, whether it’s a small Airbnb or a Boutique Hotel with many rooms, creating a comfortable guest experience is key.
And, arguably one of the most critical aspects of the guest experience lies in their sleep. We have already discussed ways to ensure guests are comfortable when they rest their heads at night, including How to Choose Pillows for Vacation Rentals, and Our Favourite Mattresses for Short-Term Rental. But, what about the bed sheets?
Shopping for bed sheets online can be daunting, especially when you’re trying to cater to a broad audience who will have different sleep preferences. To make it easier, we’ve put together our top considerations for purchasing high-quality sheets on an investor’s budget.
Key Considerations for Bed Sheets
-
Keep It Neutral:
We recommend clean, white bed sets—they’re timeless and easy to maintain.
-
Have Extras:
Always have 2-3 sets per bed for turnovers and cleaning efficiency.
-
Prioritize Quality:
Invest in durable sheets, and don’t forget to check reviews.
Fabric & Thread Count Tips
-
Crisp vs. Soft:
Sheets labeled “crisp” or “smooth” tend to be cooler, while softer sheets often feel warmer. For cooler sheets, opt for lower thread counts.
-
Best Fabrics:
Low-thread count cotton, especially percale, is a top choice. Avoid sateen and stick to 100% cotton.
-
Avoid Synthetic Blends:
Cotton blends and synthetic materials like microfiber don’t breathe as well as 100% cotton, making them less ideal for short-term rental use.
Our Recommendation
For the best balance of comfort and durability, go for 100% cotton percale sheets with a thread count in the 250-300 range. We’ve been loving this set!*
