Our expert guide to understanding the differences between these bedding materials

MicroFiber vs Cotton


Whether you’re running the housekeeping department at a large hotel, are the owner of a charming inn, or are renting out a single Airbnb unit, choosing the right bed linen for your accommodation is a huge decision. The impression that bed sheets make on guests cannot be understated. Guests want to feel comfortable and pampered at the end of the day, and one of the best ways to provide this kind of experience is through luxurious hospitality-grade bed linens.

Finding the right materials for hospitality bed linens is an exercise in balancing comfort and luxury with affordability and durability. In this blog, we’ll touch on the differences between microfiber and cotton-polyester blend sheets—and which one might be the right choice for your accommodation.

Microfiber vs. Cotton: Which is best for your hotel?

Microfiber


Generally, microfiber sheets are a popular choice for many accommodations because of the price point. Due to the material and manufacturing process, the mechanical finishing (or the brushing) gives the sheets a soft feel. They are naturally wrinkle-resistant, and fast-drying, reducing the amount of time spent in the laundry department. Because of the value, comfort, and ease of laundering, microfiber sheets can be an excellent choice for any accommodation.

        There is no go-to option that is recommended when deciding between microfiber or cotton-polyester linens. Depending on the time of the year, your guests preferences and your budget, the right choice for bed linens can vary.

We recommend weighing the pros and cons for each and making the best decision for your guests.
