Mitre has a solid reputation in the hospitality trade for a reason. This blanket isn't trying to be overly fancy; it does the basics exceptionally well.

- Practical Durability: The blanket-stitched edges and anti-pill fabric hold up brilliantly to repeated use.
- Limited Palette: While cream is versatile, a few more modern colour options would be welcome.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Hotel in Portsmouth was looking to refresh its guest rooms, wanting to replace older, worn-out throws with something more modern and durable that didn't compromise on comfort.
"We switched to these Mitre blankets across all 30 of our rooms. The feedback on room comfort has been fantastic. They wash incredibly well, dry quickly, and they still look as good as the day we bought them. Our housekeeping staff love them."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The change contributed to a noticeable lift in guest reviews mentioning 'in-room comfort' and a 20% reduction in laundry drying times for bedding.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the blanket an initial wash before first use to ensure maximum softness and freshness.
- Drape it artfully across the foot of the bed to create an inviting, layered look for arriving guests.
- Use it with flat sheets during warmer months as a lighter, more breathable alternative to a full duvet.
Keeping It Going
- Always machine wash at 40°C with similar colours to maintain the cream shade.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting to protect the fibres and maintain the blanket's shape.
- Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fleece texture over time.
- Fold neatly and store in a dry, well-ventilated linen cupboard when not in use.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsHow an 'Anti-Pilling' Finish Saves You Money
Ever noticed those tiny, unsightly bobbles that appear on jumpers or blankets after a few washes? That's called 'pilling', and it happens when fabric fibres break, tangle, and form little balls on the surface, making a new item look old and worn. An 'anti-pilling' finish is a special treatment applied during manufacturing that strengthens the fabric's fibres.
Think of it like hairspray for fabric. It holds the individual fibres firmly in place, making them far less likely to fray and clump together during washing and use. This means your soft polar fleece blanket will stay looking smooth, smart, and feeling new for much, much longer. For a business, this translates directly into a longer lifespan for your bedding, reducing replacement costs and ensuring your guest rooms always look their best.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Guesthouses: An ideal choice for adding a stylish, comfortable layer of warmth to guest beds year-round.
- Bed & Breakfasts: Offers that cosy, home-from-home feel guests love, while being tough enough for daily turnover.
- Care & Residential Homes: Provides gentle warmth and comfort for residents, with easy-care properties essential for hygiene.
- Holiday Parks & Cottages: A durable and inviting bedding option that stands up to frequent use by holidaymakers.
