Differences of Hotel Linen Counts

Yarn count is a professional indicator to measure the thickness of yarn, referring to the length of yarn spun from cotton per unit weight. The higher the yarn count number, the finer the yarn. It requires higher quality of raw cotton and textile technology, and the texture and comfort of the woven fabric will be improved accordingly. The linen for beds and towels commonly used in hotel rooms is mainly divided into three grades: 40-count, 60-count and 80-count. Different counts correspond to different check-in experiences and hotel positioning.
