The bed runner, often overlooked, serves several practical purposes in hotel rooms:

Placing Food: It provides a designated surface for snacks, keeping the bed linens clean.

Storing Personal Items: A convenient spot for bags, jackets, or purses, preventing dirt from transferring to the sheets.

Resting Feet: Acts as a barrier for shoes or unwashed feet, preserving the cleanliness of the bed.

Protecting Linens: Can serve as a mat during intimate moments, helping to avoid stains on the bedding
