Plan bedding and towels for student accommodation with a clear schedule of rooms, bed dimensions and the items included in each allocation. Epitex UK supplies hospitality linen through its current catalogue and accepts trade enquiries for specified products and quantities. Define the room requirement before comparing case prices.
Measure every bed type
Student rooms can contain different bed widths and mattress depths. Record width, length and depth, including toppers, for each room type. Confirm the pocket depth for fitted sheets or tuck-in allowance for flat sheets. Use the UK sheet fitting guide and measure the actual bed rather than assuming every student room uses a standard single.
Build a bedding allocation
List sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases as separate lines. Fit a duvet cover to the actual duvet, and a pillowcase to the filled pillow. Record the stated fabric composition, dimensions and case quantity for each selection. If a procurement specification requires particular certification, testing or contract terms, send those requirements for written confirmation before ordering.
Distinguish starter allocations from serviced stock
A one-time linen allocation and a managed laundry service need different quantities. For 50 beds with one sheet per bed, an initial allocation needs 50 sheets before spares. A three-par serviced-stock example would need 150 sheets. Calculate duvet covers, pillowcases and any towels separately from the agreed room allocation. These are planning examples, not pre-packed kits or fixed order quantities.
Prepare for intake and replenishment
Separate the initial requirement from expected replacements. Agree the receiving address, delivery window and storage arrangements before a fixed intake date. Follow product care labels and assess samples with the team responsible for washing and room preparation. Standardising a manageable set of products can help identify shortages and simplify repeat enquiries.
Send a student accommodation supply enquiry with the room schedule, exact dimensions, products, pieces required, delivery postcode and target date. Epitex UK will confirm the available catalogue options, ordering units, price and delivery arrangements. Ask about any requirement that is not established on the individual listing; do not assume a product meets a specialist contract specification without confirmation.
Frequently asked questions
Do all student rooms need single sheets?
No. Measure each mattress and group rooms by actual width, length and depth. Small double, longer or other non-standard beds need the corresponding sheet specification.
Do you list ready-made student starter packs?
This page describes planning separate catalogue products for an accommodation order. It does not advertise a pre-packed student kit.
How many linen sets does a hall need?
A one-time allocation needs a different quantity from a serviced laundry operation. Count each item per bed and add the reserve needed for your actual laundry and replacement cycle.
Can delivery be arranged before intake?
Send your postcode, quantities and required receiving date. Obtain confirmation of stock and delivery timing before committing to a fixed intake schedule.
