f you have ever been to a hospital, and most people have, then you are familiar with hospital curtains and what they look like. Almost every room in the hospital has these drapes. Hospital curtains are typically found surrounding beds in hospital wards, or in the emergency room.
In rooms that are occupied by multiple patients, hospital curtains are placed between the beds to give them some amount of privacy from the other patients, as well as from people walking in the corridors in case the door to the room is open. They also provide the patient with extra warmth during cold weather, or when the air conditioning's thermostat is too low.
Hospitals replace their curtains often, maybe once a year or even more frequently for some. These used hospital curtains are then donated to charity institutions, who then usually put them on sale at very low prices. For someone who is in need of curtains for their home, and does not have a huge budget to splurge on more luxurious drapes, these charity sales are a gold mine.
