The most obvious function of bed flag is mainly based on aesthetic design, because the beds in hotels 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 patterns or obvious contrast with the bed, the bed will look more beautiful and fashionable.

Most high-end hotels are equipped with bed flags. When you just wake up and ask the waiter to deliver the food, you can put things like cakes on the towel at the end of the bed so that they won't spill on the bed. The waiter can also clean up quickly after eating and leave your room immediately.
