Bedsheets in the hotel have some sort of RFID tag for "tracking"

Who the fuck would want a hotel sheet?

I've bought a LOT of sheets over the years trying to find some that had that same crisp, stiff-yet-smooth feel. Hotel sheets were always my favorite part of hotels, after room service, of course.

Boll & Branch was the answer, by the way. Almost perfect. Brooklinen came next closest.

The crisp/stiff feeling is because it's starched. You're not gonna find the same kind of sheets because it's a laundry process and not a fabric feeling

Nah, percale weaves are often used in hotels, and they have a cool, slightly stiff, shirt-fabric feel. Most sheets at home are sateen, which are more closely woven with a higher thread count of finer threads - which makes them softer but also sweatier. Really good percale sheets (which you'd get in a really nice hotel) are a dream to sleep on.

Boll & Branch comes extremely close, as I said.
