Why Are Hotel Beds So Comfortable? The Bedding Is Particularly Textured?

1. Why are the beds in the hotel so comfortable?

 

There are too many factors that affect sleep, but apart from some external influences or personal psychological/emotional factors, only the high-end hotel's creation of the sleeping environment and the investment in the overall bed, the higher the high-end hotel, the better the internal and external sleep environment. The more professional the investment, the sleep needs of most residents are met. What we are discussing today is, in addition to perceptual factors, let’s take a look at why the beds in high-end hotels are particularly comfortable in terms of creating the internal and external sleeping environment.

 

 

Environment Outside Sleep
The sleep environment mentioned here refers to the consideration of the sleeping environment in the overall hotel room, such as curtain shading, sound insulation effect, room temperature and humidity, etc. A good sleep environment can create a good sleep tone for guests and assist sleep.

 

Sleeping Environment
It mainly refers to the creation of hotel beds, which directly affects the sleep experience.

 

Why the hotel bed is comfortable can be simply summarized as the following two points:

 

One Is The Integrity Of The Bed:

Different high-end hotel groups have their own signature beds. The hotel group has understood sleep in the development process for more than 100 years and combined it with guest experience feedback to form a signature bed. It is a whole, not a simple single bed. Product accumulation.

 

 

The Second Is The High Quality Of The Single Products That Make Up The Bed.

 

2. Why are the bedding products of five-star hotels particularly textured?

 

After the overall frame of the bed is determined, the next step is the high configuration of bedding, including core quilts and bedding sets.

 

① High quality of fabric (kit)
It looks textured, and a very important reason is that the raw material of bedding - cotton yarn is of higher quality.

When hotels purchase linen, they usually refer to indicators such as the specific yarn count of the fabric and whether it has shrunk after washing. However, even if these indicators are the same, we will still find differences between different batches or different suppliers. There are differences in the quality or experience of linen products. This is the difference in the inherent quality of linen that cannot be detected by hotel linen, and these factors are usually very critical. We take long-staple cotton as an example to explore the difference in product quality caused by its different content in weaving.

 

What Is Long-Staple Cotton?

Cotton fibers used for weaving can be divided into three categories: fine-staple cotton, long-staple cotton, and coarse-staple cotton according to the fineness and length of the fiber. Long-staple cotton is named for its longer fibers. Its quality is excellent, but its output is small, and it is known as "the best of cotton" by the world. Generally speaking, the main length of long-staple cotton is more than 35mm, and it has the characteristics of fineness, low content of short fibers, and good maturity.

 

The Relationship Between Long-Staple Cotton And Fabrics

The fabrics used for hotel linen can be divided into 40, 60, or 80 according to the requirements of different star ratings. For high-star hotels, the number of fabrics is usually required to reach 60, 80, or even more than 120. , which has higher requirements for the cotton fiber that is spun into yarn.

 

 

Different yarn counts have different requirements for different cotton fibers. Generally, the length of coarse cotton fibers is between 18-22 mm, which can only be used for spinning low-count cotton yarns; the length of fine-staple cotton fibers is between 25-31 mm, which is suitable for spinning 6-60 count yarns; The above cotton yarns must use long-staple cotton when weaving, otherwise, there is no way to spin.

 

Relationship Between Long Staple Cotton Content and Yarn Quality

When spinning high-count yarns, the physical properties of long-staple cotton determine the yarn quality. Within a certain percentage range, the yarn quality will be significantly different with different long-staple cotton content. In particular, it has obvious effects on yarn evenness CV, single yarn breaking strength, hairiness, and yarn defects (details, thick places, neps).

 

 

→ "Uster evenness": also known as cotton yarn uniformity index, which reflects the fluctuation range of cotton yarn thickness. Adding a certain amount of long-staple cotton into the fine-staple cotton can effectively improve the evenness of the yarn.

→Break strength: Since the yarn-forming ability has a certain relationship with fiber fineness and length, every 10% increase in the content of long-staple cotton will increase the break strength by more than 12%.

 

→Hairiness: Refers to the fibers protruding from the surface of the yarn body. Hairiness is one of the basic structural characteristics of yarn. Generally, the more tidy the fibers, the lower the short fiber content, the smoother the yarn surface, and the corresponding reduction in hairiness.

 

→ Yarn defects: The average fiber length becomes longer, the average fineness becomes thinner, the fiber utilization rate in the yarn is high, the cohesion force increases, and the floating fibers are less in the spinning process, so the chance of yarn defects is reduced.

In addition, there is also the mercerizing process of fabrics in the weaving process, etc., which will cause differences in fabric experience.

②High Configuration Of Down Quilts
In order to create a soft, fluffy visual effect and a better sleeping experience for the bed, the beds in high-end hotels are configured according to different grades and specifications, and down items with high down content are selected, which is usually the standard of luxury hotels. match.

 

Down sets: down pillow, duvet, down mattress topper.

 

How to make the bed?
The texture and sense of luxury of the bed are inseparable from the classic way of making the bed in the hotel.

For example, the use of multiple pillows, bed end pads bed covers, etc., can improve the appearance of the bed.

 

It is almost the above reasons. A good sleeping environment + an excellent bed are important conditions for getting a good sleep. If you learn some tips for making beds, even at home, you can get a bed that looks full of texture.
