Our guest linen checklist will help you feel prepared with the correct quantity of linens for each visitor.
Hint: You might not need as many as you think.
For single-night guests, one set of towels per person will be sufficient.

This should includea regular bath towel, hand towel, and washcloth.
For weekend guests, plan on two full sets of towels per person.
You could also plan on a midweek restock instead.

This should include a mattress pad, fitted sheet,flat sheet, and quilt or comforter.
For extended stays of more than a week, plan torefresh the sheets.
They might prefer to change the sheets on their own or insist that theres no need to wash them.
Wherever you place your extra linens, alert guests of where they are located upon their arrival.
Reinforce that you will be happy to provide extra linens if they are needed.
This is also a great time to ask their preferences on a midweek linen restock or launder.
Pillows
Keep at least twoextra pillowsstored with your bulkier surplus linens.
These do not include pillows used to make guest beds (or couches).
Blankets
Plan on one extra blanket per sleeping arrangement (including couches).
This should be in addition to a quilt, coverlet, duvet, or comforter.
Your exact bed-making formula should depend on the season andtemperature of your home.
This can be crucial if the bed needs to be fully remade quickly.
It can also help for extended stays if you change the bed linens halfway through the visit.
Bath Mats
When it comes to bath linens, dont forget thebath mats.
Hand Towels
you might never have too many hand towels.
