Q: HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN THE BALANCE BETWEEN PRICE POINT AND QUALITY?
PAMINI: Quality always takes the upper hand over price, but sourcing reasonably priced beds that match the same quality is vital. Good market studies of the same products help us achieve the best understanding of the situation. We expect suppliers to provide us with best quotations to achieve budget lines without compromising on quality.

BHARATH: The bed linen for five-star properties needs to maintain a balance between functionality, feel, and pricing. It is pretty unnecessary to increase the TCI of the linen just to get a better feel when the pricing is going to be exorbitant and maintenance difficult. A 300 TCI mercerised linen or even a 220 TCI percale crisp weave would be adequate for five-star properties as long as the yarn is ELS and has been processed in a reputable factory.

HASSAN: Striking a balance between the cost and quality of bed products is always a challenge, yet we make sure to never compromise when it comes to quality. Instead we invest in the latest technology, adopt sustainable practices, and tighten up our production processes to increase our efficiency.
