Why is there a piece of silk on the quilt of all hotels?

As a person who has worked in a hotel room for three years, I'd like to popularize this cloth with you. How old are you?

1. What kind of cloth is this?

Many people think that it is just a piece of cloth, but in fact it has a unique name, called "bed flag", similar to those table flags laid on the table.

The origin of the bed flag originated in the United States, which can be said to be imported. In early years, Americans put their beds there because they didn't like to take off their shoes and sleep. In order to prevent the sheets from getting dirty, they spread a cloth at the end of the bed.

2. The bed flag can decorate the room and make it full of height and warmth.

If you stayed in a roadside hotel, there would be no such cloth in the hotel. This will not only appear in some high-end hotels.

At the end of the bed in a high-end hotel, there is a bed flag. It will make your eyes shine at the moment you open the door, and your mood will be much happier.

First of all, the bedding is mainly white, and the bed flag is a kind of dark color, which has a visual impact on the guests who check in and will not feel the monotony of the room.

Secondly, the bed flag is generally made of silk, which feels very smooth and comfortable and makes people feel very warm. Therefore, the first important function of the bed flag is to play a decorative role and make the room more emotional.

The most direct function of the bed flag is to protect the sheets.

Because many guests often like to put their bags and some handbags on the bed after entering the room. These items are sometimes dirty. If they are all placed on the sheets, they may even dirty the sheets and affect the mood of the guests. And dirty will increase the workload of hotel staff, because someone needs to change it for you.

Therefore, in order to alleviate these unnecessary troubles, after the room is cleaned, a bed flag is usually laid at the end of the bed.

This way, no matter whether the guests put things away or sit on the bed flag by themselves, they will not get the sheets dirty.

The bed flag also has an invisible function to prevent guests from catching cold.

After staying in the hotel, many guests will kick the quilt or turn over at night and get the quilt on the ground, so it is easier to catch cold at this time.

An invisible function of the bed flag is that when it is laid at the end of the bed, it can indirectly prevent the quilt from falling to the ground because of its long length and certain weight.

This actually reflects the humanistic care of the hotel. After all, every little detail involves the experience of the guests. Only when guests feel attentive and experience well will they buy again next time, and the hotel will realize brand communication.

A particularly practical function of the bed flag is to be used as a tablecloth. In fact, many people don't know, and hotels don't particularly emphasize it. Many people, especially some guests with children, will inevitably have something to eat in the room after staying in the hotel, while some people like to put their children on the bed and then put all kinds of snacks in front of them. Unconsciously, children often spill some drinks or snacks on the sheets, causing leaflet pollution.

Then the guest checks out, and the hotel needs compensation after the sheets are dirty, which often leads to the guest's unhappiness and the hotel's grievance.

So it's much easier to put a bed flag on the bed now. You can put snacks and the like on this cloth, even if it is dirty, and then put it in the hotel, which will wash it.

When I was cleaning the room, I also saw many people put takeout boxes on the bed flag, which should be sitting on the bed eating takeout and watching TV.

You can also see the function of the bed flag and tablecloth.

6. The guest uses the bed flag as a mat.

There are also many guests who live in their own rooms, and they like to lay a bed flag under the bed, so that when they take a bath in the bathroom, they often jump on the bed flag without wiping their feet, and simply wipe it before going to bed. This kind of bed flag plays the role of wiping feet and is also very practical.

A seemingly simple piece of cloth actually plays a huge role, but many people don't understand it and think it is just an ornament. When you get to the room, throw it aside and ignore its function.
