Placing personal belongings
A bed runner can “collect” any dirt or bacteria from personal belongings like a jacket, handbag or backpack that you have to leave on the bed.
This keeps your bedding more sanitary and you feel more relaxed while in bed.
Its location near the bottom of the bed makes it easy to arrange things there without even thinking.
Footrest
When they return to their room, many people want to jump straight into bed, sometimes without taking off their shoes and socks or washing their feet.
In such cases, a bed runner serves as a makeshift footrest that keeps the white sheets clean.
