Hotel beds are supposed to be havens of cleanliness and relaxation. So, why do so many still feature decorative cushions and throws that spread germs with every guest?
For Annabel Lee, the sight of these throw pillows on hotel beds fills her with dread. She's not one for excessive dust or clutter, but the presence of old, unhygienic fabric sends a chill down her spine. The more she thinks about it, the more she realizes that no amount of other meticulous cleaning can make up for the potential health risks posed by these pillows and throws.
Lee takes it upon herself to remove them with as much urgency as possible, wresting the entire duvet off the bed in her quest to rid the space of any lingering guests. But every time she does this, the offending items seem to reappear a day later - as if they have some sort of life of their own.
And it's not just personal hygiene that bothers Lee; it's also the sense of unease that these throw pillows evoke. To her, they represent the dark side of hotel design: an aesthetic compromise for convenience that fails miserably in terms of cleanliness and comfort.
It's hard to understand why hotels continue to include decorative cushions and throws when, at their core, hospitality is supposed to be about providing a welcoming space. Yet, it seems like no amount of charm or decor can overcome the instinctive revulsion we feel towards these unsanitary objects.
In Lee's opinion, it's time for hotels to rethink their approach to bed design. By ditching decorative cushions and throws, they could not only improve the cleanliness and comfort of guest rooms but also boost our trust in the very concept of hospitality itself.

i cant even right now... dont get me wrong i love a good night's sleep as much as the next person but seriously how hard is it to swap out those pillowcases?! its like hotels are trying to give us some kinda disease or something 
and yeah annabel lee sounds super sus for removing them all by herself but honestly im right there with her - who needs decorative pillows when you can have a good night's sleep?!
its all about us, not some stuffy hotel trying to make a point about "hospitality" or whatever. lets be real, hospitality is supposed to feel like home, not like youre in a petri dish 
i've stayed at like 10+ hotels in past year and its always those throw pillows that freak me out lol i mean whats the point of having fancy hotel room if theyre just gonna be breeding grounds for germs? 
and yeah its not just about cleanliness, its like a mental thing too - they dont get it, hotels are supposed to be havens of relaxation but those pillows just give me anxiety 
... it's like, we pay good money to relax and unwind at a hotel, right? But then you're still stuck with stuff that's just breeding germs everywhere 
like how some people have to switch up their clothes every season or two. Anyway, it's time for hotels to step up their game and put our health first 
. It's like they have a mind of their own 
.
Hotels should really think about this stuff. It's like, we pay good money to get a clean and comfy room, right? And then these decorative cushions just ruin it for us. I mean, what's next? Leaving dirty dishes out for guests to find in the sink? Interesting 
I mean, I get that aesthetics matter, but cleanliness is key! I've stayed at some hotels where the only thing that got cleaned was my room number on the TV remote... 
.
Just imagine showing up to a relaxing getaway with a free side of last week's gym sweat 
. But seriously, decorative cushions and throws are like the ultimate hotel faux pas - who needs 'em, right? 
It's time for hotels to get their act together and make those beds feel like actual havens of cleanliness! 
. I mean, think about it - hotels are supposed to be super clean and all that jazz, right? But throw pillows and decorative cushions just kinda ruin the vibe for me 
. Can't we just have clean, comfy beds without all the extra stuff? 
I'd totally pay a bit more for that...
. I mean, think about it, if hotels can't even get something as simple as a bed throw right, what's to say they're taking care of other stuff like linens or carpets? It's all about convenience over cleanliness and honestly, it's just lazy 
. Newsflash: it's not decorative, it's a breeding ground for bacteria! So yeah, let's ditch the throws and get our hotel game on 
. It's not rocket science, right?
