Why is there a piece of cloth at the end of the bed in the hotel?

This kind of cloth has a tall name called "Bed Flag". In northern China, people like to call it a bed towel, and some people call it a mattress. Towels at the end of the bed are generally used in hotel rooms, and some families also have towels at the end of the bed in order to decorate the atmosphere of the room.

So, what is the purpose of laying a bed towel on the bed?

Decorative function

First of all, the most obvious function is mainly aesthetic design, because hotel beds are generally pure white, giving people a clean and tidy visual sense. If the pure white bed is covered with a bed flag with exquisite pattern or obvious contrast with the bed color, the bed will look more beautiful and fashionable.

Protective effect

After considering the visual enjoyment, the next thing to consider is hygiene. When a guest comes to your hotel room, or you are tired all day, covered in smelly sweat and dirty clothes, and you want to lie on the bed directly, but the bed is clean and white, which makes you unbearable, the bedside towel comes in handy. You can lie directly on it, and guests can also sit on the towel at the bedside to prevent the dust stuck on the clothes from falling on the bed, which is clean and hygienic.

Prevent kicking the quilt

Besides beauty and hygiene, this function is really related to sleep. Some people like to kick the quilt when they sleep at night, but if you put a towel on the quilt, you may be able to restrain yourself from kicking the quilt a little, so as not to let the towel fall to the ground and get dirty, hahaha ... Bian Xiao thinks this is designed for babies who sleep dishonest, right? But for parent-child sauce, it doesn't seem to be of much use. Can't control kicking. .......
