What Makes Good Quality Hospitality Sheets for Short-Term Rental Properties

The primary goal for any property in the hospitality industry is to provide their guests with a comforting and enjoyable experience during their stay.  This includes providing good bedding, amenities, and other accessories that will help improve the overall experience.  Short-term rental properties are quickly becoming a popular trend for travelers, so it is important that they have the best possible linen and lodging options to remain competitive.  Industry experts have been discussing some of the best sheet characteristics for these properties.

Sheet Characteristics for Short-term Rentals

1. Breathability- Guests will sleep better with sheets that are breathable

   

   especially on warm summer nights. Studies show that breathable sheets will help guests feel cool and relaxed at the preferred room temperature of 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.  Hospitality experts deem sheets to be breathable if they provide passageways for heat to escape and do not make guests sweat.  Natural sheets are more breathable than manufactured fibers

2. Quick and Efficient- Time is of the most utmost importance in any business and hospitality is no exception. These properties need sheets that are high-quality, durable and can be easily laundered.  Sheets made of cotton polyester blends could work well for many properties since they can wash and dry quickly and do not require ironing which will save time.  There are many comfortable and economic styles available.
3. Long-Lasting- It is important that short-term rentals have sheets that retain their high-quality for an extended time. Many guests are constantly coming and going from these properties, so they will need to be laundered frequently.  It is essential that these sheets are sturdy and will not rip, snag, or fray from the frequent usage, folding, and laundering.  Poor quality sheets will also shrink or potentially experience color dimming.  Sheets that are durable and properly taken care of will save the property money because you won’t have to keep reordering them as often.
4. Thread Count- Many owners of short-term rentals wonder what the

   

   appropriate thread count of their sheets should be. Thread count is the total of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch on a cotton sheet.  Many in the industry may associate a higher thread count as a better-quality product, but that isn’t always the case.  The quality of the cotton is just as important as thread count.  Thread counts of 800 or greater may not be all that different from sheets with lower thread counts.  Many innkeepers and property managers have found sheets with a thread count in the 200-600 range to be excellent.  Two of the most popular sheets at InnStyle are the InnStyle 600 Wrinkle Free Sheets and the 600TC Luxury Cotton Rich Sheet Sets.
