ou know the feeling: you wake up after a long night’s sleep in a hotel bed<\/a>, slip into your fuzzy hotel-issued slippers and hotel-issued robe, step onto the fluffy hotel carpet and think “WHY is this so amazing?!”<\/p>\n

The question is certainly intriguing. So we asked a handful of HuffPost editors for their favorite hotel bed experiences. And the more we researched, the more we realized that all blissful hotel experiences have one important detail in common:<\/p>\n

All the best hotel beds are white.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’ve probably never thought about it, but try to imagine an ideal hotel bed that isn’t<\/em> white, and you’ll see what we mean. And yet we all spend time trying to find colorful quilts and crazy bohemian-print sheets for our bedrooms at home… what’s the deal?<\/p>\n

Turns out white is a symbol of luxury, and the bet is that you’ll feel more luxurious — and sleep more luxuriously! — in a white bed.<\/p>\n

“Visually, the idea of the white bed is important,” said Erin Hoover, vice president of design for Westin and Sheraton hotels. “Something about an all-white bed connotes luxury and a good night’s sleep.”<\/p>\n

When Westin pioneered its now-famous Heavenly Bed<\/a> in the 1990s, Hoover says, the idea of an all-white hotel bed was an unpopular one — hotels mostly used colored bedspreads, which were easier to keep clean. But after seeing the results of trial testing, Westin designers were convinced there was only one way to go.<\/p>\n

“The all-white bed created this halo effect — people thought a room had been renovated, even if it was just the bed that had been changed,” Hoover explained. “It had a huge impact.”<\/p>\n

It’s not just Westin that features an all-white bed as the centerpiece of a perfect hotel room. The Miraval<\/a>, Hilton<\/a> and Park Hyatt<\/a> — home to some of our editors’ other favorite rooms — feature white beds, too. It seems to be a move toward simplification, a subtle sign that hotels are the place to leave your worries and the clutter of the world behind.<\/p>\n

“Park Hyatt moved toward a clean, white bed and away from show pillows to present guests with a simple, clean and inviting place to lay their heads,” said Sybil Pool, a spokesperson for Hyatt’s luxury brand. She stresses that a central part of the experience is “clean, white, high-thread-count sheets.”<\/p>\n

And while there aren’t exactly scientific studies to prove you get a better night’s sleep in a nice hotel, we’re using experience as proof that those all-white wonders really do work the best kind of magic.<\/p>\n
