Hotel Linen Secrets — How to Choose the Right Hotel Linens for Every Budget
Are you buying cheap hotel linens to save money — only to replace them every few months? In this episode, Bruce Jordan of Michael Jordan Hotels sits down with Anna Forister from Coris Linens at LendingCon 2026 to break down everything hotel owners, housekeeping managers, and operators need to know about choosing the right linens for every hotel segment — from economy to five-star luxury.
Annaa walks through the real difference between T200, T250, T300 and up to 1000 thread count linens, why thread count alone means nothing without understanding the quality of the cotton behind it, and why US cotton from Guatemala delivers durability and traceability while Egyptian cotton delivers unmatched softness and silkiness. She also covers the shrinkage problem destroying fitted sheets across the industry, why some hotels are switching to flat sheets just to manage unpredictable shrinkage, the hidden damage caused by wrong detergent use in in-house laundry, and why outsourcing laundry to a professional facility is often the smarter operational move.
For hotel owners tired of replacing linens too often, dealing with guest complaints about thin towels, or watching their housekeeping team waste time on sheets that don't fit — this episode is essential listening.
