The Origins of DOUXE Hotel Luxury
Bart Kleiman and Liselotte Koenders both come from the world of luxury hotels. When they decide to change direction and start their own business, Bart takes the first step, with Liselotte following shortly afterwards.
After years of experiencing the world’s most exclusive hotels inside and out, including the exacting standards of hoteliers, they know first-hand what truly matters when it comes to five-star sleep and high-quality hotel products.
The kind of products you would love to have in your own bedroom. But how?
Hotel Quality at Home
Liselotte: “You probably know the feeling: you stay at a beautiful hotel and sleep in a bed so heavenly that you wish you could simply take it home with you, so you could experience that same feeling in your own bedroom.
We discovered that many people felt exactly the same way. After spending a night in such an exceptional bed, they would literally look up what they had slept on and under. That is how they discovered our brand, and how DOUXE began as a consumer brand.”
The Beginning: The Featherbed
In 2006, Bart founded DOUXE, back then still without the “e” at the end. In the beginning, the featherbed was the only product DOUXE offered. It was the answer to one of the questions Bart and Liselotte were asked most often: how is it that mattresses in luxury hotels feel so wonderfully soft?
Liselotte: “Well, it’s because of that topper filled with feathers and down. It literally makes you feel as though you’re sleeping on a cloud. In the US, this product has become almost indispensable in the bedroom. In the Netherlands, it is only just beginning to gain popularity.”
The Complete Collection
DOUXE soon expands its collection to include complete beds, luxury bed linen and bathroom accessories. After all, the ultimate hotel experience simply isn’t complete without the perfect pillow.
The crisp bed linen you know from luxury hotels is another of DOUXE’s signature products: made from 100% Egyptian cotton and crafted in Portugal, it feels fresh, smooth and so soft that you’ll never want to get out of bed. In short, DOUXE’s signature beds are put together for its customers with the same care and attention as those found in five-star hotels.
