What are the key factors affecting the comfort of Hotel Linen?

Key factors affecting the comfort of Hotel Linen
1. Appearance and craftsmanship details
Check whether there are any defects on the surface after opening the packaging, whether the patterns are complete, whether the stitches are smooth and wrinkle - free. These details directly affect the guests' first impression of the bedding.
2. Yarn density and count
The higher the yarn density and the finer the yarn, the softer the fabric and the better the hand - feel. The yarn density of bedding in star - rated hotels is often above 100, far higher than the range of 40 - 60 for ordinary household items, thus enhancing comfort.
3. Coordination of the overall sleep system
In addition to the bedding itself, soft quilts, supportive pillows, high - quality mattresses, and close - fitting nightgowns together form a complete sleep experience, and none of them can be missing.
4. Odor and material safety
The absence of pungent odors indicates that the dyes and finishing agents used meet environmental protection requirements, avoiding discomfort to the guests' respiratory systems.

How to judge the durability (tear resistance, pilling resistance, number of washings) of hotel linen?
1. Tear strength test
Use the single - tongue method to perform constant - speed stretching at the pre - cut notch of the fabric and record the maximum tearing force. This indicator reflects the bonding force of the yarns and the tear - resistance ability of the overall structure, and is the core test for evaluating the durability of bedding.
2. Pilling (balling) performance evaluation
Use a Martindale testing machine to simulate daily friction and grade according to the density, size, and color contrast of the pills. The degree of pilling directly affects the appearance lifespan and hand - feel of the bedding.
3. Number of wash cycles
Through laboratory simulation of multiple processes such as washing, bleaching, and heat drying, observe the changes in fiber swelling, color fading, and fiber strength. Research shows that water quality, the pH value of detergents, and the frequency of bleach use are the key factors determining the lifespan of bedding.
4. Material and stitching quality
Check the fiber composition of the fabric, the twist of the yarns, and the uniformity of the stitches. High - quality cotton/polyester blended fabrics and reinforced stitches can maintain the structural integrity after multiple washings, reducing the risk of tearing and pilling.
