Oxford Forza Collection

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes the Oxford Forza Collection a strong choice for vacation rental properties?

  The Oxford Forza Collection is built for the demands of professional property management. Made with 100% ringspun cotton piles and a cotton/polyester blended ground, it delivers the softness and absorption guests expect with the structural durability operators need. The name Forza comes from the Italian word for "strength," and the collection is engineered to withstand frequent laundering and everyday wear across high-turnover properties.

  * Hand Towels: 16" x 27" (3.00 lb/dz) or 16" x 30" (4.00 lb/dz)

• How does the ringspun cotton and polyester blend benefit high-turnover operations?

  Ringspun cotton creates a softer, smoother pile that feels noticeably better against the skin compared to open-end cotton. The polyester in the ground adds tensile strength, which means the towel resists breakdown and maintains its shape through the aggressive wash cycles that come with managing multiple properties. This blend gives you a longer product life, which directly reduces replacement frequency and linen costs over time.
• How do I choose between the different weight options within the same size?

  The weight options give you flexibility to set different standards based on property tier or budget. A higher pounds per dozen towel will feel thicker and more plush, creating a more premium guest experience. A lighter weight option will dry faster in the laundry cycle, reducing energy costs and speeding up turns. For example, the 27" x 54" Bath Towel is available in both 14.00 lb/dz and 17.00 lb/dz. Choosing between them comes down to whether you are prioritizing a more luxurious feel or faster operational throughput. Many managers use the heavier option for premium properties and the lighter option for high-volume rentals.
• What does "pounds per dozen" mean?

  In the hospitality industry, towel weight is measured in pounds per dozen (lbs/dz). This refers to the total weight of twelve towels of the same size. It is the standard way to compare towel density and quality across commercial products. A higher pounds per dozen number means a thicker, more plush towel. For example, the Martex Simplicity Bath Towel is available in a 14 lbs/dz option and a 17 lbs/dz option. The 17 lbs/dz towel will feel heavier and more substantial to the guest.
  Pounds per dozen also impacts drying time. A lighter weight towel will dry faster in the laundry cycle, which can reduce energy costs and speed up turns for high-volume operations. Understanding this measurement helps you make informed decisions about the level of comfort and operational efficiency you want to set as a standard across your properties.
