One would ask why put so much thought in purchasing a hotel sheet for your beds? One major reason and perhaps the most important are your guests. The business and leisure travelers have progressively become more discerning, they have increased their standards and more and more guests want their next hotel room to have the same comforts they have in their bed at home. In my opinion the new minimum standard for a 3 star property and above is the T180 bed sheet; by the way T180 means the sheet contains 180 threads per square inch. The hotel industry has taken notice and been quick to pick up on this trend and has acted accordingly. Now it’s common to find in your 3, 4 and 5 star properties using 200 thread count cotton polyester combination, T250, and over T300 hotel bed sheets. In fact the hotel industry has recognized and made the bed one of the most important components and amenity of the guest room, something that makes total sense. Think about it, the bed and bed sheets are very intimate; the sheets are something the guest uses to cover their body, like clothes they need to fit, be soft and comfortable.

Another need obvious need the hotel industry has picked up on is the need to relax and get a good night’s rest, whether you are a tourist or business traveler you want to relax and sleep well. Many of us have experienced all too often thin or hard bed sheets, very soft or too hard pillows and usually at the worst possible time, after we brushed our teeth, tucked ourselves into bed and are ready to call it a night. A soft comfortable sheet can be the difference between a good nights rest and a lousy night tossing and turning. Hotels that have added higher thread count bed sheets have bragging rights and can advertise this amenity with success. The business traveler will be quick to pick up on these amenities because if anyone needs a good nights rest after a long day it’s the business traveler. We carry high thread count bed sheets both flat and fitted in white and beige colors for all bed sizes.

The other question I frequently get from many customers particularly with new properties is how many sheets to order, on this subject I always recommend a minimum of three turns for bed sheets and pillow cases. What do I mean by 3 turns? The first turn means the full set that goes on the bed; the second turn will be the one that is on the shelf waiting to be used to change the first turn and the third turn will be in the laundry room being washed. Having three turns should ensure you always have a set of clean sheets available. In my next article I will talk of the often overlooked but very important hotel mattress pad.
