Why is there always a cloth across the bed in hotels?

When you arrive in your room, your automatic reflex is to put your bag, coat, or laptop on the bed. However, since these items have often traveled with you, they can carry  dust and bacteria . The sheet at the foot of the bed then serves as a  protective barrier  : you can place your belongings there without fear of dirtying the immaculate sheets. Clever, right?

A smart solution for shoes… and tired feet!

In France and many other European countries, it’s not uncommon to sit on the bed in shoes or socks. But who wants to soil the sheets? Here again, this famous throw plays the protective role. You can rest your feet on it without risking soiling the bed linen.  Perfect for relaxing after a busy day , without having to take your shoes off immediately.

More unexpected uses

And that’s not all! Some travelers (and travelers) find this sheet has other very practical uses. In the absence of a yoga mat, it can serve as a  temporary surface for practicing . Need a clean space to stretch or do some movements? It’s there. Some women even use it as  extra protection during their cycle , for more comfort and serenity.

The next time you stay at a hotel, you’ll look at this sheet in a different light: a true accomplice to your comfort, it can be much more useful than you might imagine!
