Grab a glass of your favorite beverage and here's the cat's meow of textiles. FYI many of the textiles discussed have home usage!

Thermal Blankets - These get their name for preserving the user's natural warmth. Remember if people are freezing cold in the wilderness, they huddle together to use their heat to stay warmer. Or just could've said this works with cold stuff at the grocery store, but in warmth! These are very popular and honestly probably the most popular as the three industries mentioned in the title.

Snag Free: These blankets are designed to keep you warm without catching edges and staying true to form. Furthermore, these are easy to maintain clean and ideal for high traffic areas of the hospital or at your home!

Baby Receiving: These are soft gentle and are comfoting to the littlest patient and some are even swaddling. These help out where soft and gentle blankts are needed and typically used in the "birth rooms" (couldn't think of a better word!) of the hospital and are only offered in bulk quantites.

Herringbone: These are  ideal throw blankets for hospitality or healthcare and feature a v-shaped woven pattern that looks like that of the herring fish. Furthermore, this idea credits the fish for excellent breathability as well as increased strength or longevity of the textile.

Leno, Waffle, & Honey Comb Weave: First off this is important to realize that Leno's are known for their openness and enhanced breathability or airflow for the consumer which can be ideal for warmer areas wherever the customer is. Waffle Weave have a texture with small raised up squares that very closely looks like a beehive. These make the product look for appealing as well as added insulation that combine durability to a soft as well as warm feel.

Ribcord Bedspreads: These are thrown in the to go with the blankets because some of these are used a wide variety of usages and are a very popular for customers. These are durable due to high levels of polyester or a poly/cotton blend.

Microfiber: Similar to hotels microfiber are great for treatment centers, OR, ER, clinic, rehabs, and other places for the inexpensive price, but also the longevity of the fabric. These can last 300-400 washes easily and ever heard somebody say 500 the other day but wasn't sure! Regardless this author of this sleeps on microfiber sheets and they're the best sheets he's had

Cotton/Polyester Blends:These are like the single size fits most of blankets in the textiles industry. Lots of those are made by Intralinand can be found there. Furthermore, lots of these are autoclavable which means that  they can withstand the hot temperatures of the hotel's commercial washer.

Throw Blankets: These are versatile and can be used to extra warmth. They're easy to care for where you need hygiene and something that's quick and easy

Polar Fleece: Polar fleece is a great option for hospitality as these offer softness and warmth and are easy to clean and dry. Just got some new products in stock and going to test these out!

Autoclavable: These are made to last in hospitals because the high temperatures for excellent hygiene must be required of this product to meet standards that are in protocol. These are some very well-made textile products and can be used in industrial or commercial laundries too.

Bath Blankets:Bath blankets come in both bleached and unbleached varieties, playing a crucial role in patient hygiene and comfort. The bleached versions offer enhanced sanitation, having undergone treatment for superior cleanliness, making them suitable for hospitals, nursing homes, and similar settings.
