If you were fortunate to be wealthy in medieval Europe, then you could use your bed to show off your status. Their impressive beds were carved out of wood, raised off the floor, and often encrusted with jewels. Four-poster beds were created during these times, with velvet drapes to keep out the bugs and cold air, and to further show off wealth. However, if you were poor, you slept either on the floor or a small raised platform with hay for a mattress and a scratchy wool blanket.

 Overall, hotel towels are typically made from cotton, microfiber, or cotton-polyester blends, offering a balance of comfort, absorbency, and durability.  When purchasing hotel towels wholesale, hoteliers have the flexibility to choose from a variety of materials, sizes and qualities to meet guest needs and maintain high standards of hotel service.

Fitted sheets have an elastic to wrap around the mattress and prevent it from moving too much while you sleep. While these sheets protect your mattress from body oils, spills, and other things, using a mattress protector underneath your fitted sheet is a good idea for extra protection. Flat sheets lay on top of fitted sheets to protect your duvet or comforter from body oils and tearing. Not everyone uses these, but we recommend doing so.
