Mitre has a knack for balancing aesthetics with the practical needs of the hospitality trade, and  this runner is a prime example. The Trevira blend gives it a surprisingly plush feel for a commercial product, and  the quilted finish stops it from looking flat. It’s a clever, cost-effective tool for hoteliers wanting to quickly refresh a room’s entire look.

  • Top Marks for Safety: The built-in fire retardancy is a huge plus for compliance.
  • Styling Note: The bold raspberry shade requires thoughtful pairing with neutral decors.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Orchard B&B in Hereford needed a fast and  effective way to modernise their six guest rooms ahead of the busy summer season, without the cost of a full redecoration. They chose the raspberry double bed runner to contrast with their neutral decor.

"The runners completely transformed the feel of the rooms overnight. They look so much more vibrant and  inviting. We've had several guests comment on how smart the bedding looks, which is exactly the impression we wanted to make. A simple change with a brilliant result."

David Chen – Owner

The B&B noted a 15% increase in direct bookings citing 'beautifully presented rooms' seen in online photos.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack the runner upon arrival and  lay it flat to allow any creases from transit to fall out.
  • Place it neatly across the foot of the bed, either over a duvet or a flat sheet, for a professional look.
  • Ensure it's centred on the bed for a balanced and  symmetrical appearance.
  • For a final touch, smooth it down by hand to create a crisp finish.

Keeping It Going

  • Always check the care label, but as a polyester blend, it's designed for commercial laundering.
  • Wash with similar colours to keep the raspberry shade bright and  vibrant.
  • Avoid using harsh bleaching agents which can damage the fabric's integrity and  colour.
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting and  remove promptly to minimise creasing.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bed Runner

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect bed runner for your establishment.

Check Your Sizing

Measure your beds first! A double runner on a king bed will look lost, and  vice-versa. Ensure the width and  length complement the bed size.

Consider Your Colour Palette

A runner can tie a room together or provide a bold contrast. Hold the colour against your curtains, walls, and  carpets to see how it fits.

Material Matters

Think about feel and  function. A polyester/Trevira blend like this one offers a soft touch with the durability and  fire safety needed for commercial use.

Prioritise Safety

For any commercial establishment, non-fire-retardant bedding is a risk. Look for items that meet UK safety standards, like BS 7175.

Think About the Collection

Choosing a product from a wider collection, like the Simplicity range, gives you the option to coordinate with cushions or other items later on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this raspberry double bed runner machine washable?

A: Yes, it is designed for commercial use and  is machine washable. However, we always recommend checking the specific instructions on the care label before the first wash.

Q: What exactly is Trevira fabric?

A: Trevira is a high-quality brand of polyester fibre, renowned for being incredibly durable, easy to care for, and, most importantly, inherently fire retardant.

Q: Will the raspberry colour fade after multiple washes?

A: This premium comfort bed runner is designed to be colourfast and  withstand the rigours of commercial laundering, so fading should be minimal with proper care.

Q: Is this runner available for other bed sizes, like a single or king?

A: Yes, this Mitre GU947 bed runner is part of the Simplicity Collection, which is available in a range of sizes from single to super king to fit all your rooms.

Q: What does 'thickly quilted' mean for the feel of the runner?

A: The quilting refers to the stitching pattern that creates small, padded pockets across the fabric. This adds texture, a plush feel, and  a more luxurious appearance.

Q: Can I get a fabric swatch before I place a large order?

A: Yes, swatch samples are available on request. Please call our team on the number provided in the product data to arrange one.

Q: Is the runner reversible?

A: This bed runner is designed with a specific top-facing side for the best visual and  textural effect, so it is not intended to be reversible.

Q: How heavy is it? Will it be cumbersome for my housekeeping team?

A: It's very lightweight at just 740g, making it easy for staff to place, remove, and  handle during daily room turnarounds.

Safety First: What 'Inherently Fire Retardant' Really Means

You often see 'fire retardant' on product descriptions, but 'inherently fire retardant' is the gold standard for hospitality. What’s the difference? Think of it like a carrot versus a painted rock. A painted rock is only orange on the surface, and  the paint can chip or wear off. A carrot is orange all the way through; you can wash it, chop it, and  it’s still orange. This bed runner is like the carrot.

The fire-retardant properties are built into the very structure of the Trevira fibres. They aren't a chemical coating that's applied later. This means the safety aspect will never wash out or diminish over time, no matter how many times it goes through your laundry. It ensures you remain compliant with strict UK fire regulations (like BS 7175) for the entire life of the product, giving you, your staff, and  your guests permanent peace of mind.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Boutique Hotels: Perfect for adding a signature pop of colour and  a touch of elegance to uniquely styled guest rooms.
  • Bed & Breakfasts: An affordable yet impactful way to make rooms feel more professional, polished, and  welcoming for visitors.
  • Serviced Apartments: Provides a durable, stylish, and  fire-safe accessory that elevates the 'home from home' experience for long-stay guests.
  • Country Guesthouses: Complements both traditional and  contemporary interiors, adding a vibrant, quality touch that guests will remember.
