FAQs
What types of bed sheets are best for emergency shelters?
We recommend two main options depending on your facility's capabilities: disposable non-woven sheets for short-term triage or evacuation centers where laundry is unavailable, and heavy-duty institutional sheets (like our T130 Muslin or Duraknit) for longer-term temporary housing that requires frequent, rigorous laundering.
Will these sheets fit standard emergency cots and medical beds?
Yes. Our emergency bedding features consistent sizing designed to fit standard temporary metal cots, military-style beds, and shelter mattresses. For the easiest bed-making process, our Duraknit contour sheets are highly recommended, as their stretchy fabric securely grips various mattress sizes without slipping.
Do you offer single-use disposable sheets for rapid deployment?
Absolutely. We supply bulk cases of disposable flat sheets that provide a sanitary, cost-effective, and single-use barrier. They are the ideal solution for immediate disaster response, medical triage areas, and high-turnover shelters where preventing cross-contamination is critical.
Are your reusable shelter sheets durable enough for industrial washing?
Yes. Our reusable institutional sheets—including our T130 muslin and T180 cotton/poly blends—are engineered specifically to withstand the harsh conditions of high-heat industrial laundering. They resist tearing, pilling, and shrinking, making them a highly cost-effective investment for long-term shelter operations.
Do you offer bulk pricing for NGOs and government agencies?
Yes, The Linen Factory specializes in high-volume institutional supply. We offer significant wholesale discounts, case-pack pricing, and palletized shipping. We work directly with FEMA contractors, government agencies, and non-profit organizations to help you maximize your humanitarian aid budget.
How fast can you ship bulk bedding orders during a crisis?
We understand that disaster response requires immediate action. We maintain massive inventory levels of emergency linens at our US-based facilities, allowing us to process and ship pallet-load orders rapidly. If you have an urgent deadline for an active relief operation, please contact our team directly to expedite your logistics.
