Triple sheeting is a technique designed to address two of the biggest challenges for hotels – room cleanliness and housekeeping labor shortages.
by far for housekeepers, taking twice the time as the next longest task. Beds are also extremely important to guests – with saying a clean bed is their most important cleanliness factor.
In the past, hotel beds have been made using either a duvet or a comforter/bedspread. Many properties have moved away from bedspreads due to high laundering costs and negative guest perception. While duvet covers can be more easily laundered, they also take a considerable amount of housekeeping time to remove and replace after each guest stay.
The triple sheeting technique was born as a solution that is not only simple for housekeepers and laundry, but also provides guests with the peace of mind that their bed linens are clean and fresh.
Triple sheeting is a technique where three sheets are used to make a bed, instead of a duvet cover or bedspread.
Triple sheeting has long been a trend in hospitality across all tiers of properties, offering a clean and crisp look. But it’s not simply an aesthetic choice. Let’s revisit why triple sheeting became the go-to method in hospitality – and how you’re missing out if you’re not triple sheeting at your hotel.
In short, triple sheeting is a cleaner, faster, and less expensive way to make hotel beds. Here is a deeper look at the benefits of triple sheeting:
