Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lake View Guesthouse in Keswick needed to replace their old, heavy blankets with something lighter and quicker to launder to cope with their busy tourist season. They chose the Mitre Essentials GU400 for all ten of their single rooms.
"These blankets have been brilliant. They look smart, our guests find them comfortable, and they go through the washer and dryer in a fraction of the time. It's made our room turnarounds so much more efficient, especially on a hectic bank holiday weekend."
Robert Davies – Proprietor
The guesthouse successfully reduced their laundry cycle time for bedding by an estimated 30%, freeing up staff time and lowering energy costs.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always perform an initial wash before first use to ensure maximum softness and hygiene.
- Pair with a flat or fitted sheet to protect the blanket and extend time between washes.
- Ensure the blanket is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- The generous size allows for a neat, professional tuck-in on standard single beds.
Keeping It Going
- This is a washable single bed blanket; wash at 70°C to kill bacteria and remove stains effectively.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting to protect the fibres and prevent shrinkage.
- Do not use chlorine bleach as it can damage the fibres and cause yellowing.
- For best results, wash with similar colours (whites only) to maintain its bright appearance.

Ever wondered what 'cellular' actually means? Think of it like a clever, natural thermostat built right into the fabric. The blanket is woven with small holes, or 'cells', that trap air. In the winter, this trapped air is warmed by body heat, creating an insulating layer that keeps you snug and warm. But in the summer, those same cells allow air to circulate freely through the blanket, wicking away excess heat and moisture to keep you cool and comfortable. It’s this simple, intelligent design that makes this one blanket a perfect, breathable solution for every season.
