Ever noticed the narrow strip of fabric across your hotel bed? It’s called a bed runner — and it’s more than decoration.
Here’s why hotels use it:
• Adds style – Brings color and elegance to crisp white bedding.
• Protects sheets – Acts as a barrier for bags, shoes, and dirty feet.
• Prevents stains – Safer spot for snacks and drinks.
• Easy to clean – Removable and washable, unlike full bedding.
Hotels keep sheets white for hygiene and a luxury feel — the bed runner adds both protection and design.
Next time you check in, you’ll know it’s not just for looks.
