Rhonda Bracey: At Random

The Marco Polo Gateway in Kowloon, where I’m staying, is a little worn around the edges. But, like many hotels on this trip, the bed was heavenly and the shower had great pressure and temperature. You can’t ask for better than that.

So what’s made the beds on this trip so good? Well, I reckon it’s a combination of:

• down pillows
• high thread count sheets and covers, resulting in a sikly feel to the cotton
• down doonas that are as light as a feather, yet very snuggly and warm (not hot)
• ‘pillow’ layer on mattresses (US only)
