Why do hotels always put a sheet on the bed?

Protect the sheets (especially if you eat in bed)

Whether on holiday or during a business trip, we sometimes allow ourselves small pleasures: breakfast under the covers, a meal tray in front of the television, a late-night snack…

The problem? White sheets stain easily. A crumb or a drop of sauce is enough to spoil the pristine look of the room.

The bed runner is usually made of a thicker, darker, and more durable fabric. It serves as protection. You can place a tray on it or sit on it without risking damage to the main bed linens.

For families with children, it is also very practical: in case of an impromptu snack or a small accident, cleaning is simpler and faster.
