Why You’ll Get Your Best Night’s Sleep with Us
Posted by Best Western Siesta Key on February 19, 2021 in General.

Have you ever noticed how extra-comfortable hotel beds, sheets, and pillows can be? While you may have never given much thought to what makes them feel so luxurious, we actually work hard to give you a great night’s sleep. We spend time and resources studying the best bedding, from mattresses to pillows to sheet thread count, to bring you high-quality comfort that will keep you coming back for more. The professionals at The Best Western Siesta Key are always looking to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Perfect bedding is just one way we deliver.
Thread Count
Thread count is determined by the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch in a sheet. The higher the number, the softer the sheets. While this is often associated with longer-lasting, more luxurious feeling sheets, we also want you to feel clean and fresh. Most hotels will opt for a sheet thread count between 250-300, which meets the sweet spot of good quality threads but slightly lower count. This results in crisp, comfortable feel-good sheets that guests love.
Mattresses
Hotel mattresses are manufactured specifically for each hotel, so they don’t just feel better than a normal bed. They actually are better! While you may have thought you were just resting well while on vacation, you’ve been sleeping on a bed designed with you in mind. Most hotel mattresses have a medium-firm feel to accommodate the wide range of hotel guests. Most likely, the difference you experience between your own bed and the hotel mattress is the difference in firmness. Hotels typically replace these specially-designed mattresses every 3-8 years, a bit more frequently than those of a typical household.
Pillows
The right pillow helps you sleep better, so the correct amount of firmness matters. Hotels know this and are eager to meet their customers where they need it most. Most hotels offer two firm and two soft pillows on each bed. This allows guests to choose their best option and experience an ideal night of sleep. Sometimes hotels will choose pillows of medium firmness, seeking to meet more guests’ needs with one style. But the secret to the cloud-like softness you often experience on hotel pillows can truly be attributed to the specialized fill material hotels use. Most hotel pillows are filled with a mixture of down, down alternative, feathers, and memory foam. The right combination results in a perfect night of sleep.
The right combination of crisp, clean sheets, semi-firm mattresses, and cloud-like pillows can make a huge difference in your quality of sleep. Whether you’re staying with us for business or pleasure, the good people at The Best Western Siesta Key want you to feel rested and relaxed while you’re with us. We know a good night’s sleep matters, no matter what your day has in store. Check out our beds and other accommodations, or feel free to ask us specific questions before your stay!
