Years of hospitality experience meet uncompromising quality standards.
In the world of luxury bedding, expertise isn't just about selling products—it's about understanding the intricate needs of hospitality properties, the science of sleep comfort, and the art of creating memorable guest experiences. At Linen & Co, our expertise runs deeper than premium materials; it's built on years of hands-on experience and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Founded on Real-World Hospitality Experience
Dawn's Journey: From Consultant to Creator
As the founder of Linen & Co, Dawn brings years of hands-on experience helping hospitality startups and established properties—from boutique B&Bs to luxury resorts—select the perfect linen foundations tailored to their unique needs and budgets. This isn't theoretical knowledge; it's practical expertise gained through countless consultations, property visits, and real-world problem-solving.
"I've walked through properties at 6 AM during housekeeping rounds, felt fabrics after hundreds of commercial washes, and listened to guest feedback about sleep quality," explains Dawn. "This deep understanding of what actually works in hospitality is what sets Linen & Co apart."
