What is "triple-sheeting"?
I was looking at a hotel website (Bienville House, New Orleans), and one of the amenities listed is "triple-sheeting of the beds". What on earth does this mean? I'm assuming that the typical set-up of flat sheet and fitted sheet could be called "double-sheeting", but where does that darn third sheet come in? Thanks!

My first guess would be: they put a sheet between the blanket and the bedspread, that way you can pull off the bedspread and lounge on the bed, but you are lying on clean sheet instead of some icky blanket that hasn't been changed for the last twenty occupants...?
P.S. the only stupid question is the unasked one!

Funny you asked -- just stayed at Fairmont in New Orleans and there was a sheet between the blankie and the spread. First time for me!! Guess I don't get around to the nicer hotels much. Don't think they use three sheets at Red Roof or Comfort Inn.

Um, Brains? Washing isn't a part of this equation. Triple sheeting is not a short cut to get around laundering blankets! It's far more time consuming and cost inefficient to triple sheet, BUT, sleep in a triple sheeted bed once, and you'll understand why it's done. It *feels* heavenly to have your arms against smooth cool sheets, rather than blankets. You'll find the practice in upper end 4 and 5 star hotels only.

At 10 p.m. each evening the maid enters your room unannounced, wraps your spouse and you in a third sheet, and pushes you over onto your bed, mummifying you and preventing you from having intercourse.
At 8 a.m. the next morning a different maid comes in and unwraps you so that you can check out.
