How many sheet sets, towels, washcloths and bath mats a rental needs for its beds, guests and laundry routine.

The rental

Beds guests sleep in

Beds sleep 4 guests.

Half bath = 0.5
Who does the laundry?
Fine-tune the counts

Sheet sets per bed = 1 on the bed + 1 in the wash + 1 spare = 3. Towel cycles = 1 in use + 1 in the wash + 1 spare = 3.

Pillows on a King bed

Sets every King and California King bed. Twins get 1, Full and Queen 2, bunks 1 per bunk.

Mattress depth (for fitted sheets)

Measure with any topper on. Until you do, the list assumes 14 in for beds (most rental mattresses are 12–14 in), 8 in for bunk and trundle mattresses and 5 in for sofa beds, and picks sheets with pockets at least that deep.

Used for every bed you haven't measured
0 = not measured
