High Quality Hotel Bedding Collections

The material code of hotel bedding: From pure cotton to luxurious jacquard brocade decoding


In the covert evaluation system of high-end hotels, bedding has long transcended its simple role as a sleep tool and has become the core weapon in shaping the "cloud sleep experience". When guests sink into those memorable hotel beds, what their bodies perceive is actually the result of the combined effect of precise fabric science and supply chain strategies.


1.Comprehensive Material Analysis: The Scientific Atlas of Hotel Textiles


Cotton fabric: It accounts for over 80% of the market share in luxury hotels.


Long-staple cotton (Egyptian cotton/Giza 45, Supima cotton) is preferred by top hotels because its fibers are over 34mm in length, enabling the production of finer and more durable yarns.


Misconception about yarn density: Contrary to common belief, luxury hotels typically use a density of 200-400 threads per inch - a higher density of 200 threads per inch (percale) offers a cool and breathable feel, while a density of 300-400 threads per inch (sateen) provides a silky smooth texture.


White Dominance: 95% of five-star hotels use pure white bedding, as it can be washed at high temperatures to kill bacteria and visually convey a sense of cleanliness. Combined with the invisible stitching technique, it enhances the minimalist aesthetic.


Satin weave technique: The "light-responsive shaper" of cotton fibers


Pure cotton white satin stripe: A glossy stripe formed by a satin weave (with 4-5 floats of warp yarns). It is mostly used in mid-range hotel brands such as Holiday Inn, and its cost is 15%-20% higher than that of plain colors.


Cotton-synthetic satin strips (65/35 blend): The blend ratio is an "cost-saving tool" for budget hotels - while maintaining 60% cotton feel, the wrinkle resistance is enhanced by 40%, and the drying time is shortened by 30%.


Gongdan jacquard: The relief art on the loom


Process cost: The fabric is woven using electronic jacquard machines. The yarn density needs to be above 400 to display fine patterns. The material cost is 25% to 50% higher than that of ordinary satin weave.


Class differentiation:





Luxury Hotel: 100% Supple Cotton + Invisible Jacquard (Hidden Logo, Geometric Texture)


Mid-range hotel: Blended fabric base + pure cotton jacquard, highlighting the visual three-dimensionality


Economic chain: Printing replaces jacquard, reducing the cost per square meter by 60%


2. Hotel Classification Configuration Diagram: A Revolution in Sleeping Arrangements from Economy Class to First Class


Luxury Camp (Ritz-Carlton / Four Seasons)


Material combination: Giza 45 Egyptian cotton + 80-count double-ply plain weave, sewn with an Italian angled seam treatment


Washing standard: 200 industrial wash cycles, combined with plant enzyme cleaner to maintain fiber elasticity


Supply chain: Customized by century-old workshops in Portugal, the cost of a single set reaches $800.


Mid-range (Marriott / Hilton Garden ）


Cost reduction strategy: Use American Pima cotton with 50-count satin weave, and the blended ratio should be 80% cotton and 20% polyester.


Visual upgrade: Pure cotton satin strip edging, combined with a 5cm-wide decorative band, enhances the luxurious feel.


Washing optimization: Resistant to 150 washes, with color fastness reaching grade 4 or above.


Economy chain (such as Jiage / Hanting)


Blend dominant: 50/50 polyester-cotton plain weave, yarn weaving density 120-150 strands


Quick turnover design: Drying time has been reduced to 45 minutes (for pure cotton, it was 70 minutes or more)





3. The battle between pure cotton and blended fabrics: A triangular trade-off of cost, texture, and durability


The "luxury logic" of pure cotton


Re-purchase Engine: 78% of guests rank "bedding texture" as the primary reason for re-visiting the hotel. The softening property of long-staple cotton (which reaches a comfortable peak after 50 washes) forms an experience memory point.
Respiratory advantage: The rate of moisture and heat transfer is three times faster than that of blended fabrics. In subtropical regions, it can reduce air conditioning energy consumption by 15%.


Blended "commercialism"


Life-cycle cost: Taking a polyester-cotton blended fabric as an example:


The procurement cost has been reduced by 30% to 50%.


Washing energy consumption reduced by 25% (lower moisture content shortens drying time)


The service life has been extended by 40% (the tear resistance is 1.8 times that of pure cotton)


Management efficiency: Wrinkle resistance reduced by 70%, ironing time decreased by 35%, room service staff bed-making efficiency increased by 35%


As a top-tier supplier serving major groups such as Huazhu and Jinjiang, Hanpi Textile Co., Ltd. has restructured the value chain by providing a five-star room configuration solution:


Vertical production: The integrated control from cotton procurement in Egypt to jacquard weaving has reduced the cost of using 400 satin jacquard threads in mid-range hotels by 40%.


Intelligent Supply Chain:


RFID fabric tracking system: Real-time monitoring of washing frequency/fiber strength attenuation, precise prediction of replacement cycle


3D weaving simulation: Customers can adjust the satin strip width/fabrication depth on the cloud. The sample production cycle has been shortened from 14 days to 72 hours.


Sustainable Process:


Dry dyeing technology: Applied to pure cotton satin products, reducing water consumption by 89%


Recycled polyester blend: Using recycled PET bottles to produce polyester components, reducing the carbon footprint by 65%


4. Sustainability: The Essential Question for Future Hotel Textiles


Material Revolution: Radisson Hotel piloted lyocell (teak fiber) blended fabric, which is 30% stronger than cotton and requires 50% less water.


Closed-loop system: Marriott initiates bedding recycling program, where old cotton fibers are re-spun into carpet padding, and polyester components are decomposed into recycled raw materials.


Digital Twin: Hilton increased the accuracy of bedding replacement decisions by 98% and reduced waste by 22% through AI fabric lifespan monitoring.

WHAT ARE THE SEVERAL TEXTURES OF HOTEL LINEN AND THEIR ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES!


COMMONN CONCEPTS:


1. YARM FINENESS


The representation of yarn fineness is generally divided into two categories: fixed length system and fixed weight system.


A. The fixed length system is expressed as the weight per unit length of the yarn at a fixed moisture return rate. In the fixed length system
there are two types: the Tex (metric) system and the Denier (imperial) system. Here, only the commonly used imperial system: Denier, which
is generally used to indicate the fineness of pure chemical fiber filament and natural filament. Denier is defined as the number of grams (g)
of weight of 9000 meters of silk at a common moisture regain rate (about 8.5%) is the denier of the silk, which is often represented by "D".


b. Fixed weight system is expressed as the length per unit weight of the yarn at a fixed moisture return rate, in fixed weight system. There
are two kinds of metric (metric) and imperial (imperial). Here only focuses on the commonly used imperial count, which is generally used to
indicate the fineness of pure cotton yarn and polyester cotton yarn. The imperial count is defined as: there are a number of 840 yards of
yarn per pound at the common moisture regain rate (about 9.89%), which is often represented by "S". If the pure cotton yarn weighs 1 pound
at the common moisture recovery rate (about 9.89%), its length is 40×840 yards, that is, 33600 yards, then the cotton yarn is 40 pieces, which
is often expressed as "40S". Generally speaking, the larger the number of yarn, the finer the yarn, the more difficult the spinning, the more
processes, the higher the equipment requirements, and the higher the quality requirements of cotton, (requiring the length of the cotton pile)
the greater the price per ton of yarn. (Martha Andy chose Xinjiang high-quality long staple cotton), it is not difficult to understand the difference
in the price of 40 fabrics and 60 fabrics.





2. DENSITY



Density - used to indicate the number of yarn roots per unit length of woven fabric, generally 1 inch or 10 centimeters of yarn roots, China's
national standard stipulates the use of 10 centimeters of yarn roots to represent the density, but textile enterprises are still used to use 1 inch
of yarn roots to represent the density. It is divided into warp density and weft density


1. Precision - fabric length direction; This yarn is called refined yarn; The number of yarns arranged within 1 inch is precise (warp density).


2. Weft density - fabric width direction; The directional yarn is called the weft yarn, and the number of yarns arranged within 1 inch is the weft
density (weft density);


As usually seen in the hotel linen, "40X40/110X90" means that the warp and weft are 40, and the warp and weft density is 110 and 90.


3, width - the effective width of the fabric, generally used to be expressed in inches or centimeters, common 36 inches, 44 inches, 56-60 inches,
etc., respectively called narrow, medium and wide, more than 60 inches of fabric for wide, generally called wide cloth, today's China's extra wide
fabric width can reach 360 centimeters. Width is generally marked after the density, such as: 3 mentioned in the fabric if added width is expressed
as: "40X40/110X90/72", that is, the width is 72 inches. (1 inch =2.54 cm).


4, gram weight - the gram weight of the fabric is generally the gram number of square meters of fabric weight. In the VISA tablecloth used in hotels,
the gram weight is an important technical index of the fabric.


5, yarn-dyed - Japan called "first dyed fabric", refers to the first yarn or filament dyed, and then the use of color yarn weaving process, this fabric is
called "yarn-dyed fabric", the production of yarn-dyed fabric factory is generally called dyeing and weaving factory. For example, VISA checkered
tablecloths used in hotels and some fabrics that make bed end towels are colored fabrics.











FABRIC CLASSIFICATION


1, according to different processing methods classified


(1) Woven fabric: fabric composed of yarns arranged vertically with each other, namely horizontal and longitudinal systems, interwoven on the
loom according to certain laws. (Quilt covers, sheets, tablecloths in the hotel linen are mostly woven fabrics). (2) Knitted fabric: fabric formed
by yarn knitting into a circle, divided into weft knitting and warp knitting. (For example, our most common undershirt is knitted fabric, which is
rarely used in hotel linen, and a few outer curtain fabrics are knitted). (3) Nonwovens: loose fibers are bonded or stitched together. At present,
two methods are mainly used: adhesion and puncture. (such as some laundry bags in the hotel linen, disposable slippers are nonwovens).


2, according to the fabric yarn raw materials classification


(1) Pure textile: the raw materials of the fabric are all made of the same fiber, including cotton fabric, wool fabric, silk fabric, polyester fabric,
etc. (Hotel linen quilt covers, sheets, pillowcases and so on are basically pure cotton fabric, also known as cotton fabric).


(2) Blended fabric: the raw materials of the fabric are made of two or more different kinds of fibers, which are blended into yarns, including
polyester viscose, polyester nitrile, polyester cotton and other blended fabrics. (Hotel linen in some quilt covers, sheets, pillowcases is polyester
cotton and other blended fabrics).


(3) Mixed fabric: the raw material of the fabric is made of single yarn of two kinds of fibers, which is made by merging into strands, such as
low-elastic polyester filament and medium-length polyester filament, and polyester staple fiber and low-elastic polyester filament.
(A small number of curtains and decorative fabrics in the hotel are such fabrics).


(4) Interwoven fabric: the raw materials of the two directions of the fabric system are respectively made of different fiber yarns.
(For example, most bed skirt fabrics and bed end towel fabrics in hotel linen are interwoven fabrics).


3, according to the composition of fabric raw materials dyeing classification


(1) White fabric: unbleached raw materials are processed into fabric, silk weaving is also known as raw goods fabric.


(2) Color fabric: the raw materials or fancy thread after bleaching and dyeing are processed into fabric, silk weaving is also known as cooked fabric.


4, according to the structure of the fabric is divided into plain, twill, satin and jacquard organization.


Also known as plain, twill, satin and jacquard fabric (fabric), the hotel quilt cover, pillowcase, bed sheet these three fabrics are very
common, the most used. (Satin strip fabric, back grid fabric, large jacquard fabric is a combination of one or more tissues, the specific
explanation must be combined with the specific fabric). China hotel linen net www.ntfqw.com


5. Classification of novel fabrics


(1) Adhesive cloth: made of two pieces of fabric that are back-to-back to each other. (Hotel linen is usually not used).


(2) flocking processing cloth: The cloth is covered with short and dense fiber fluff, with velvet style, which can be used as clothing and decorative
materials. (Some hotel curtains are such fabrics).


(3) Foam laminated fabric: foam is adhered to the woven fabric or knitted fabric as the base cloth, mostly used as cold clothing material.
(Usually not used in hotels).


(4) Coated fabric: the woven fabric or knitted fabric is coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), neoprene rubber, etc., which has superior
waterproof function. (such as shower curtains in hotels).





PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO DISTINGUISH A FEW EASILY CONFUSED CONCEPTS:


1, yarn-dyed and printing dyeing:


a. yarn-weaving - dyeing the yarn, and then using colored yarn to weave cloth, such as many hotel plaid tablecloth, the corresponding factory called
XXX dyeing and weaving factory, yarn-weaving factory, etc.; b. printing and dyeing - the fabric after weaving is printed and dyed, such as many and
many printed fabrics with colorful patterns. The corresponding factory is called XXX printing and dyeing factory, dyeing and finishing factory, etc.


2. Blending and interweaving


a. Blending - the blending of two or more different fibers in the spinning process, and then weaving cloth with the blended yarn; b. Interlace - fabric
made of different kinds of yarn or fiber filaments (bundles) when weaving.
