Linen for Riads and Airbnbs in Fes: Kitting Out the World's Largest Medina
Fes has a rental stock like no other: most of its boutique accommodation is packed into Fes el-Bali, the largest urban pedestrian zone in the world. The market is estimated at 1,500-3,000 listings — a substantial stock of heritage riads, cultural tourism picking up again, and two constraints every Fassi owner knows: foot-only access, and beds that are never exactly 160×200.

Managing linen in Fes: what changes here
In a Fassi riad, beds are often built-in or set into alcoves: the mattress measures 155×195 or 170×200, or has an unusual thickness. A roughly-fitting standard fitted sheet pops off with the very first guest. Two answers: our 30 cm deep pockets absorb thick mattresses in standard sizes, and the workshop sews made-to-measure to the exact dimensions of your beds for the rest — in the same white reference as the standard range, so nothing looks mismatched.
The Fes winter is cold and damp: linen dries slowly on the terraces, and many guesthouses outsource their washing then. That is the scenario that justifies 3 sets per bed all year round — the reserve set covers the 48 h of laundry turnaround that December stretches into 72.
On delivery: our carriers serve the medina access points (Bab Boujloud, Batha, R'cif, Aïn Azliten) in 48-72 h; agree the handover point on WhatsApp and the riad's porter does the last stretch, as with all your deliveries.

Hosts’ questions in Fes
How does a delivery into the Fes medina work?
The carrier delivers to the agreed access point (Bab Boujloud, R'cif, Batha…) in 48-72 h and calls you; the final carry through the alleys works like all your other deliveries, via your usual porter. You pay on receipt of the parcel.
My riad beds are not standard sizes: what is the solution?
Measure the mattress (length, width, thickness): if the gap is under 5 cm and the thickness under 30 cm, the standard fitted sheet with its 30 cm deep pocket will do. Beyond that, our workshop sews your sheets to exact dimensions, in the same hotel white as the rest of the house.
Three sets per bed — is that really necessary for a riad in Fes?
Yes, if you outsource the washing or let in winter: between the humidity that stretches drying times and laundry lead times, the reserve set is what saves you from turning away an arrival. At low occupancy with on-site washing in summer, two sets will do.
