For people who work intensively all year round and dream of the holiday they will take when summer arrives, it is extremely important that the products every hotel should have consist of quality equipment. For people with an active working life, the months from June through August are considered the most convenient period for taking annual leave. If a hotel that welcomes holidaymakers and provides a quality service uses missing or inadequate equipment before receiving guests, it is entirely natural that those guests will not want to return.
Complete hotel equipment among the many products in a hotel room, together with the availability of room service, becomes a factor that raises the property's prestige. The products a hotel must pay attention to and absolutely must have can be listed as follows:
The core purpose of a hotel stay is to rest and enjoy pleasant time while shaking off fatigue. For this reason, the choice of bed — which plays an important role in resting — is one of the factors to pay attention to. Considering that duvet sets, towels, mattress protectors, amenity supplies and blankets are in constant use, it is a sensible choice to keep spares of each item for when they go to the laundry.
Bearing in mind that people come to hotels to stay overnight, the first priority should be choosing the right bed. Considering that a comfortable sleeping experience may be guests' first criterion, careful selection is required here. Even if no hotel guest checks the bed brand, it should be understood that a comfortable bed that produces uninterrupted sleep will be remembered. Choosing a bed for a hotel room purely because it is cheap will cast a shadow over the property's overall impression, so it pays to be careful when selecting. Since the size of the hotel is also a criterion here, for a large hotel you should aim for the highest quality beds you can afford without exceeding your budget.
Although softness is the first priority among hotel bed products, options that will not sag after a period of use should be considered. Beds supplied under warranty are a very suitable choice for hotels.
After the bed selection, the choice of duvet set is also considered a factor that demonstrates the hotel's quality to guests. When looking for a quality duvet set, small but effective details such as the product's thread count and the temperature at which it can be washed should take priority. Thread count is what determines quality in duvet sets. Generally, thread counts in duvet sets vary as 57, 63, 83 or 120. Duvet sets known as site-grade sets and used in such environments generally consist of 57 threads. However, because these duvet sets are washed frequently in hotels, they are not a suitable choice for hotel use. For this reason, hotel properties mostly choose duvet sets of 63 threads.
Properties that want to be five-star and want arriving guests to encounter hotel equipment of the highest quality standards choose 83-thread duvet sets. This meets the expectations of the luxury segment and substantially raises hotel quality. It is also possible to choose 120-thread duvet sets. However, you should be aware that this product is expensive, and you can try to source these products at more competitive prices in high volumes.
Another indispensable and most frequently used piece of equipment in hotel rooms is towels. The first criterion sought in a quality towel is always its water absorbency and the softness it offers. In a towel, weight increases in direct proportion to quality — so it can be said that the higher a towel's GSM, the better. Because hand towels, bath towels and face towels have different dimensions, it is entirely normal that their weights also differ.
The standard dimension for face towels and hand towels is 50x90 cm, with 200 GSM accepted as the entry level. The businesses that use towels of this specification are hairdressers, gyms, guesthouses and boutique hotels. For those who want higher quality face and hand towels that meet expectations, products weighing 250-300 GSM are suitable. As the GSM increases, you will notice that the quality level of the towel also rises.
For a bath mat, the dimension is 50x70 cm with a weight of 200 GSM. Suitable for use in homes and hotels, these products look attractive and elegant thanks to their footprint pattern. For those looking for a higher quality bath mat, it is possible to find different dimensions of the product, with 250-300 GSM being ideal. Here too, it is said that absorbency increases as the GSM rises.
The accepted standard dimension for bath towels is 70x140 cm. This weight is highly suitable for use in gyms, hotels and homes. Users who want to purchase a higher quality bath towel should choose in the 500-600 GSM range.
Since beds are the most actively used products in a hotel, the item that deteriorates fastest is automatically the bed. To extend the life of hotel beds that welcome a different guest almost every day and to protect them from dirt, odour and liquid, mattress protectors should be used. When choosing a mattress protector, attention should be paid to the cotton content, bearing in mind that the higher the cotton content, the greater the likelihood of liquid passing through. Protectors made from PU membrane material are liquid-proof and are the most preferred protector model for hotels and hospitals. Quilted protectors, on the other hand, protect the bed from odour and dirt but do allow liquid to pass through. They are therefore far more suitable for home use than for hotels.
In Turkey, the heavier a blanket, the higher its quality is assumed to be. Although this straightforward logic is broadly correct, some unscrupulous sellers take steps to increase blanket weight by using different raw materials in order to raise the product's weight. It is important to watch out for sellers who try to create a perception of quality this way. In this respect, it is important to know that no quality product can be sold cheaply. The lifespan of blankets sold under the name of cheap blankets will be equally short. Because blanket manufacturers face costs, it is not possible for them to sell a good product at low prices. The lowest price a quality product can reach is well established in the market.
There are two types of blanket actively offered for sale in the market. These blankets are as follows:
Wool Blanket: The wool blanket keeps you very warm and has long been the most preferred blanket model. It is actively used mainly in cities where winters are harshest.
Acrylic Blanket: This blanket model is the type closest to wool. It creates a cotton-like feel to the touch. It is stain resistant and can be washed easily. Far more resistant to moths and insects, these products also keep the user warm during sleep.
The blankets used in hotels vary according to the operator's expectations and the climate conditions of the hotel's location.
The amenity supplies used in hotels consist of products such as cotton buds, shampoo and soap placed for guests to use. These supplies can also be produced with a logo according to the hotel's specific request. Low in weight, these products are designed to meet a room's needs for between three days and one week.
