Many hotels distinguish themselves by the quality of sleep guests enjoy. The 'bed wars' among five-star hotels are prompting strategic advances in the coil- and thread-counts of mattresses and bedding. This explains why guests are taking home not only good memories but also the mattresses, sheets and pillow cases that enhance their stay. Enter Anichini, which is famed for
the haute-couture bed linens and other fabrics. New to Altfield Interiors (room 605, Nine Queen's Road Central, tel: 2525 2738) is the Italian company's Hotel Sheeting line - 100 per cent cotton percale bedding and luxuriously heavy towels. Queen-size flat sheets cost $1,100, pillow cases are $760 a pair and duvet covers are $2,100, while the bath towels are $320.
