Hotel bedsheets get washed after almost every single guest — sometimes daily. A sheet that feels fine in a home bedroom for a year can look tired and thin after eight weeks of industrial laundering. If you're buying for a hotel, guesthouse or homestay, here's what actually matters.
GSM (Grams per Square Metre) measures how densely the fabric is woven. For hospitality use, higher GSM generally means the sheet survives repeated hot-water washing and industrial ironing without thinning out or pilling.
Both work, but they behave differently under commercial laundry conditions:
For high-turnover properties (budget/mid-range hotels, guesthouses, homestays), percale cotton is usually the more practical, longer-lasting choice.
There's a practical reason most hotels stick to white or light solid colours: stains are visible immediately (so housekeeping catches them before a sheet goes back into rotation), and white sheets can be bleached during commercial laundering to stay looking fresh — something you can't do with printed or dark-coloured sheets without fading them.
Most Indian hotel double beds are sized around 230 x 250 cm for the flat sheet, which comfortably covers a standard double/queen mattress with enough overhang to tuck. Always confirm your exact mattress dimensions before ordering in bulk — hotel bed sizes vary more than home beds do.
We stock cotton hotel bedsheets (230 x 250 cm, with matching pillow cases) in white and solid shades, sized for standard double beds. Browse our Hotel Bed Linen collection, or get in touch for bulk pricing.
