Some details on bed linens, to help you choose the right hotel linen rental

Here is a post for those who are curious to understand the origins of hotel linen rental, but above all the reasons for the most used fabric in hotel sheets and the details .

The fabrics, shapes, and finishes we take for granted today are in fact the result of a long evolution over time, which has contributed to the development of the soft fabrics used in hotels today.

Here is a brief history of the details that most influence the perception of quality by hotel guests , and which are therefore often required of a quality industrial laundry (details that influence prices , but also the quality of rest and the guest's perception).

Cotton satin sheets

Choosing to have your guests sleep on cotton satin sheets means adding a touch of elegance and class to the room.

Furthermore, cotton satin is a delicate and soft fabric , as well as natural : the sensation it gives to the skin is similar to that of silk, pleasant and fresh and which remains even after washing the sheets .

The particular softness of this fabric helps the guest to rest, because the low friction does not cause static electricity, and improves breathing during sleep .

An important indicator of the quality of the fabric is the number of threads per square centimeter : the quality fiber is long and thin, so the more threads we have, the softer and lighter the fabric will be.

Details that matter: the cord

The cordonetto is the edge of the hotel sheet : a thread of color to give a touch of elegance to the bed.

Furthermore, the chromatic contrast of this part of the sheet helps to pick up the colors of the room, contrasting with the brighter white.

Sheets and pillowcases therefore follow the same narrative , with a touch of originality.

Finally, an example of classic decoration, the "Pied de Puol"

The actual birth date of this evergreen fantasy seems unknown to the

costume historians, but we are in 1800 in Scotland, when the houndstooth was

originally worn by shepherds , as an outer garment made of woven woolen cloth.

It could be seen in skirts and scarves, but it also became popular as a

decoration for furnishing elements.

In 1930 it was adopted by the wealthy social classes as a symbol of wealth and

elegance, to stand out from the crowd.

1947 is the year of Christian Dior 's New Look; it is precisely in this period that the designer

consecrates this fantasy as a synonym of refinement and style , so much so that he decides to

use it for the packaging of its famous fragrance Miss Dior.

Since then, this optical fantasy has been re-proposed and adopted by various couturiers who, over time, have made it a real trend.

This is why we wanted to create our total look pied de poule line,

coordinating bed and bathroom, making it a real trend for the hotel that wants
