We all deserve a good night's sleep, especially as we get older. But let's be honest, a comfy bed isn't enough. Imagine sinking into crisp, white linens that feel like a five-star hotel every single night. That's the magic of luxury bed linen and the HUGE impact it can have on our sleep: the quality of it, the hours of snoozing we get under our belts, the comfort and the overall experience – our own or our guests. I could go on…

new home comforts

In April 2022, I finally achieved the dream of owning my own home – a charming cottage in a leafy little village in Cheshire. Creating a sleep haven was a priority. I splurged on a luxurious Bouclé bed from Made.com and a heavenly new Tempur mattress with matching pillows to accompany the goose down ones I’d bought already (inspired by some I’d slept on at a luxury hotel stay) - throw in a couple of rustic linen sheets from H&M Home, and I’d completed the initial look.

I remember justifying the cost of these purchases in terms of £££s per night’s sleep… And given that mattresses tend to have a lifespan of anything between 7-10 years (or so my trusty Google search result informed me) I thought: THIS was THE investment into my night’s sleep that I needed to make to feel well and truly rested.

Ugrading my sleep

Fast forward a few years, and my sleep haven felt...incomplete. While I had a variety of bedding options (silk pillowcases from Liberty, colourful sets from Debenhams and John Lewis – my Christmas collection is epic!), I lacked the pièce de résistance: high-quality, crisp white sheets. You know, the kind that make you feel pampered in a luxurious hotel? Yep! Those ones.

Enter Tielle Love Luxury! When they reached out offering me a chance to review their bed linen sets. After researching thread counts (spoiler alert: 400 vs 600 isn't a huge deal!), I opted for the Soft & Strong 400 Thread Count Bedlinen Set, promising that coveted "5-star hotel quality." I snapped their fingers off at the kind offer and soon found myself the proud owner of a new box of bed linen. I did a little reel about it here on my Instagram – @LucieLoves.

Getting the most out of your new luxury bed linen

To ensure the bedding feels at its best when you first enjoy it - and to make sure it is super clean and soft – you are advised to wash the bed linen before putting onto your bed. My parents do a run out to Costco every few months and stock me up with HUGE vats of fabric conditioner, washing detergent and those scented ‘pop-in-the-drum for extra fragrance’ balls, plus kitchen rolls etc.

The perks of splurging on little luxuries

Wanna know what the best part about buying hotel quality linen? Little to no ironing! The new Soft & Strong 400 thread count bedlinen is great because not only are they fast-drying but when they are dry they have very few creases. I used an iron to press the pillow cases a little - which glided nicely over the fabric, and then gave the duvet cover bed linen a quick once over and et voila! Good to go!
