Kora ~ The Newest Time & Cost Saver for Hotel Owners

Looking to stretch every dollar without sacrificing quality? Integra Fabrics’ latest Decorative Top Sheet, Kora, delivers just that. Our 100% Polyester Hotel Top Sheets are designed to outperform traditional poly-cotton blends—saving you time, money, and hassle. Here’s why 100% polyester wins:

 Superior Stain Resistance

  • Polyester is hydrophobic (water-repellent), so it doesn’t absorb liquids like cotton. Coffee, wine, and lotions are less likely to set—making stains easier to remove.
  • Faster Laundering & Drying
    Because polyester absorbs very little water, sheets dry faster. That means lower energy use and quicker turnaround times.
  • Long-Lasting Durability
    As a strong synthetic fiber, polyester resists fraying and wear better than cotton. The result? Fewer replacements and long-term savings.
  • Hygienic & Hypoallergenic
    Its non-porous nature makes it less likely to harbor dust mites, bacteria, and allergens—an important advantage where cleanliness matters most.
  • Greater Cost Efficiency Over Time
    Longer lifespan + energy savings + easier care = a smarter investment for your bottom line.

Kora, and all of Integra Fabrics’ top sheets are 100% polyester —engineered for performance and cost-effectiveness.

Experiencing The Work-Life Balance

“I’ve always been a do it all type of personality! Scoop every second of every day to achieve something! I’ve learned over the years that there is great value and return in relaxing, slowing down a bit, disconnecting from technology, and providing space to “be still and listen”……there is such a thing as work-life balance and I’m thrilled that we embrace that in our company culture. We WANT our team to experience school events with their children, travel, hobbies, quiet time, and to do the things that bring much personal satisfaction and happiness. How does offering flexibility, paid time off, vacation time, volunteer time, and some space to move in and out of traditional defined structures and lines affect our business and annual goals? It is a driver of our success! It is a reduction in sickness absenteeism; happier and less stressed team members; a deeper connection to the company as there is a respect and appreciation of personal interests and time. Here’s how some of us have spent time away over the past months!”

  • Debbie Edmonds, CEO & President

Color(s) of the Year | Integra Fabrics Edition

Our Product and Trend Team spends a lot of time reviewing new hospitality products from artists and weaving teams around the world. Each year we look forward to seeing the colors companies like Pantone and Sherwin Williams choose to highlight in their marketing campaigns! While they’re not always what our first choice may have been, it is always fun to plug them into our designs and see what the color brings to life.

This year we were surprised to see BEHR and WGSN + Coloro both brought a TEAL to the color party! We decided to combine these bright pops with the neutrals Pantone and Sherwin Williams brought to the table – the outcome is fantastic!

Dropping in colors is sort of our thing! We thrive on helping Clients bring their hospitality design visions to life by developing new designs from the ground up or dropping in their specific colors. While our open line is full of solutions to meet your every design, budget and lead time need > custom creations are in our wheelhouse and we love seeing your visions come to fruition through our fabrics.
