Bed and rest

The fabric that touches the guest

Sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers: bed linen is what gets washed, ironed and changed most in daily operation, and what is in direct contact with the guest. That is why we define it as a set.

Each piece has a job

Sheets

The foundation of the bed.

  • Flat or top sheet

    The top layer of the bed. It defines what the guest sees when turning the bed down. Finished with a hem band or a false hem band.

  • Flat bottom sheet

    The bottom layer, without elastic, which allows it to be dried and ironed in a flatwork ironer.

  • Fitted sheet

    The bottom layer with elastic all around, which makes it easier to put on the bed. Its fit is confirmed against the height of the mattress and the layers on top.

Pillowcases

The outer layer of the pillow, over the protector: the piece that touches the skin.

  • Pillowcase

    With a 10 cm hem band and piping, a 10 cm hem that simulates a band, or a plain 2 cm hem.

  • Pillow sham

    With back flaps and 5 cm topstitching.

Duvet covers

One of the most visible pieces on the bed, in direct contact with whoever sleeps in it.

  • Envelope duvet cover

    Loads from the top, with a flap and a 10 cm false hem band. Two openings at the bottom help insert the duvet.

  • Bag-style duvet cover

    Loads through the bottom opening, which closes with Velcro. It has openings at all four corners and an inner flap that holds the duvet in place.

Every piece carries its label in the same place, so housekeeping can identify it and make the bed the same way every time.

Choose what to explore in the fabric

The fabric sets the first thing the guest notices: whether the bed looks matte or has a sheen, and how it feels. These are our fabric bases; with an advisor we define which one suits each piece, your room and your laundry.

Percale

Matte, no sheen

A medium-weight plain weave, firm and soft, with a light, breathable texture.

  • 180 thread count60% cotton / 40% polyester
  • 200 thread count60% cotton / 40% polyester
  • 200 thread count100% cotton

Blended sateen

Sheen on the face, smooth hand

A sateen weave in a cotton-polyester blend that dries and irons easily.

  • 250 thread count · stripe60% cotton / 40% polyesterStripe width: 0.4 cm, 1 cm or 2 cm
  • 300 thread count · plain60% cotton / 40% polyester
  • 300 thread count · stripe60% cotton / 40% polyesterStripe width: 1 cm or 3 cm

Cotton sateen

Sheen and a smooth hand, in 100% cotton

A sateen weave in 100% cotton fiber, with an Egyptian cotton option.

  • 400 thread count · plain100% Egyptian cotton
  • 300 thread count · plain100% cotton
  • 300 thread count · stripe100% cottonStripe width: 0.5 cm

Compare two bases

Pick up to two. The comparison doesn't rank or score: it shows the same data for each one, to discuss with an advisor.

Tone-on-tone striped sateen pillowcases and sheet in a hotel room

Stripes with character

Stripe width is a way to set your hotel apart: it gives the room personality and makes it recognizable. These are the widths available in our stripe bases:

  • Blended sateen · 250 thread count · stripe · 60% cotton / 40% polyester

    Stripe width: 0.4 cm, 1 cm or 2 cm

  • Blended sateen · 300 thread count · stripe · 60% cotton / 40% polyester

    Stripe width: 1 cm or 3 cm

  • Cotton sateen · 300 thread count · stripe · 100% cotton

    Stripe width: 0.5 cm

Combining plain and stripe bases on the same bed creates contrast and gives each room type its own look. With an advisor we define which pieces go plain and which go striped.

Compare the stripe bases

From feel to standard

A standard is a decision you can repeat. For bed linen, it comes down to five answers:

  1. 1

    Piece

    Which sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers each room type gets.

  2. 2

    Fabric base

    Family, composition and thread count.

  3. 3

    Look

    Plain or stripe, matte or with sheen, type of hem band.

  4. 4

    Fit

    Real mattress, pillow and duvet measurements. Twin, Queen or King are not the same size in every market.

  5. 5

    Care and replacement

    How it is laundered and how often it is replaced.

With those five answers you have clear criteria to guide every purchase and every replacement.

Tested through 240 washes

We measure the tensile strength (ASTM D 5034) of our fabrics before washing, after 120 and after 240 washes.

Distrihogar provides washing and care instructions, which the laundry service must follow. Garment lifespan also depends on how the purchasing business handles collection, transport, sorting, storage and end use by guests.

Let's define the standard for your bed linen

Tell us how your beds are made and how your laundry processes them; with that, an advisor will help you choose pieces and bases.

We train your housekeeping team in linen care to keep the standard.
