Mastering Bedding: A Strategic Guide for Hotel Managers

When it comes to setting your hotel apart, the right bedding can make all the difference. Guests want a comfortable, restful sleep—and your linens should provide just that. At Gunderson, we specialize in providing top-quality hotel linens that combine luxury, durability, and easy maintenance.

In this guide, we’ll break down the key factors to consider when selecting the perfect bedding for your hotel.

1. Start with the Fabric

Your guests spend a significant amount of time in bed, so choosing the right fabric is crucial. Different fabrics offer varying levels of comfort, breathability, and durability.

At Gunderson, we provide high-quality, 300-thread count, 60/40 sateen blend sheets. Our offerings include two styles: a classic flat white and a microcheck pattern. This blend provides the perfect balance of softness, durability, and easy maintenance, making it ideal for high-turnover hotel use.

2. Thread Count

Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into each square inch of fabric. While many believe that higher thread counts equate to better quality, that’s not always the case. 

In industrial laundry settings, a thread count of 300 is considered premium, as most commercial linens are typically 200 thread count. This ensures a balance between softness, breathability, and longevity without compromising durability.

3. Maintenance

Your bedding will go through numerous laundry cycles, so it’s essential to choose fabrics that can handle it. Durable, easy-care linens will save you time and money in the long run.

• Wrinkle Resistance: Materials like microfiber and cotton-poly blends are naturally wrinkle-resistant, which means less time spent ironing and more time spent focusing on your guests.
• Stain Resistance: Choosing linens with stain-resistant finishes or naturally resistant fibers will help keep your bedding looking fresh. This is particularly important in busy hotels where high turnover means bedding is in constant use.
• Durability: It’s important that your linens hold up through multiple wash cycles without losing their softness or shape. Our linens are built to withstand heavy laundering while maintaining that luxurious, welcoming feel.

4. The Right Balance of Comfort and Practicality

At the end of the day, your linens need to do more than just look good—they need to provide comfort that keeps guests coming back. A soft, inviting bed made with the right combination of materials ensures a great night’s sleep. 

It's important to consider your hotel's location, the preferences of your typical guests, and how often the linens will need to be laundered or replaced.
