Who we supply

Guesthouse and B&B Linen in South Africa

A guesthouse or B&B needs linen that looks welcoming, survives frequent washing and fits a mix of bed sizes without costing more than it should. Linen and Co supplies percale bed linen, towels, inners and protectors with no minimum order for trade clients, custom sizing and trade pricing.

Linen that works as hard as you do

Guesthouses and B&Bs face frequent guest turnover, changeable laundry conditions and the need for rooms that always feel fresh. Linen has to cope with all of that and still look inviting when the guest walks in.

Which fabric suits a guesthouse?

Many guesthouses use polycotton in most rooms and cotton in one or two signature rooms. Both come in white, cream, stone, grey and duck egg, so the rooms can still look like one property.

FabricWhy guesthouses choose it
Polycotton percale 200TC (50/50)Cost-effective, resists creasing and dries quickly. A sensible default for most rooms.
Cotton percale 200TCA crisp, breathable natural feel with good durability.
Cotton percale 300TC (white only)A smoother, more premium feel for your best rooms or a luxury positioning.

A mix of bed sizes

Guesthouse rooms rarely share one bed size. We supply Single, 3/4, 3/4 XL, Double, Queen, King, Super King and Super King XL, and can size linen to fit anything unusual so duvets do not slip and sheets do not bunch.

Closures, depths and finishes

Duvet covers close with a press-stud or envelope closure, and many guesthouses like the envelope style because it is quick to make up and easy to launder. Fitted sheets are made for 30 cm and 35 cm mattress depths, so measure yours before ordering. Pillowcases and sheets come plain, Oxford or with satin stitch in five stitch colours. The size guides list every dimension.

Planning how much to buy

A common rule of thumb is three sets per bed: one on the bed, one in the wash and one on the shelf. A guesthouse that washes on site and turns rooms quickly may manage with fewer, and one that sends laundry out should hold more. Tell us your room count and laundry arrangement and we will help you work out quantities, then ask for a written quotation so you can see the total before you order.

Towels, inners and protectors

Dress the whole room from one supplier: bath towels, hand towels, face cloths and bath mats, duvet inners and pillows, and Wetsafe mattress and pillow protectors that keep beds clean between guests. Our guest room essentials collection puts them together in one place.

Branding that stays subtle

Satin stitch on pillowcases and embroidery on towels and bathrobes add a professional, branded touch without overpowering the room. They also help with stock control.

Order what you need, when you need it

There is no minimum order for trade clients, so you can replace a few worn items or fit out a whole new room. Apply for a trade account to see hospitality prices, and ask for a written quotation that holds your prices for seven days. Delivery is priced at checkout from your address. Ready-stock items usually take 3 to 5 business days and made-to-order items 7 to 14 business days before dispatch, with courier time added after that.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best linen for a guesthouse or B&B?

Polycotton percale 200TC is the practical choice for most rooms: it is cost-effective, dries quickly and resists creasing. Cotton percale 200TC and 300TC give a more natural or premium feel for signature rooms.

Is there a minimum order for guesthouses?

No. There is no minimum order for trade clients, so you can order exactly what you need, whether that is a few replacements or a full refit.

Can you supply linen for different bed sizes in one order?

Yes. We supply Single, 3/4, 3/4 XL, Double, Queen, King, Super King and Super King XL, and you can mix sizes and colours in one order.

Can I get a quotation before I order?

Yes. Approved trade accounts can turn a basket into a written quotation that holds items, quantities and prices for seven days.

How do I protect mattresses and pillows between guests?

Use quilted or towelling Wetsafe mattress and pillow protectors. They go under the fitted sheet and pillowcase and are easy to launder.
