One third of my life is spent in bed, and intimate contact with bedding, it is important to choose the right, healthy bedding. So what kind of quilt, pillow should I buy? How to maintain bedding? When purchasing such products, you should pay more attention to fabrics.

Fabric determines bed comfort

The bedding is generally made of pure cotton, polyester cotton, yarn-dyed cotton, etc. Each fabric has its own characteristics and the price is different. The following teaches you how to identify the bedding fabric and introduces the relevant identification methods:

1. Pure cotton is very soft

Pure cotton feels good, comfortable to use, easy to dye, rich in flower pattern, soft and warm, hygroscopic, washable, with less static, is widely used in bedding.

However, it is easy to wrinkle, easy to shrink, poor elasticity, acid and alkali resistance, and should not be treated for a long time at a temperature higher than 100 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, it is best to spray wet cotton products when ironing, and it is easy to iron. If possible, use a steam iron to iron the product after each use, the effect will be better.

2. Yarn-dyed cotton is easy to shrink

Yarn-dyed cotton is a kind of pure cotton fabric, which is woven with warp and weft yarns of different colors.

Due to the first dyeing and weaving, the dye has strong penetrability and good dyeing fastness, and the multi-colored fabric has strong stereoscopic effect and unique style, and the bedding is mostly characterized by a strip pattern. It has the characteristics of a cotton fabric, but usually has a higher shrinkage rate.

3. Jacquard cotton is thicker

The high-density and high-density jacquard cotton fabric has a particularly large warp and weft density, and the weaving method is rich in variation. Therefore, the fabric has a thick hand feeling, good durability, and high purity of the cloth surface, and is a relatively advanced one in the cotton fabric.

4. Polyester cotton is affordable

Polyester/cotton brand products generally use 65% polyester, 35% cotton ratio polyester/cotton fabric, and polyester cotton is divided into plain and twill. The plain polyester cotton fabric is thin, the strength and wear resistance are very good, the shrinkage rate is very small, the appearance of the product is not easy to sample, and the price is good, the durability is good, but the comfort fit is not as good as pure cotton.

In addition, because polyester is not easy to dye, polyester/cotton fabrics are mostly light and light, which is more suitable for spring and summer. Twill polyester is usually denser than plain weave, so it looks dense and thick, and its surface gloss and feel are better than plain weave.

5. Linen has moisture resistance

Linen is a long-lasting, ancient natural fabric that is often washed to make the fabric softer and moisture-proof for a comfortable night's sleep. It is said that Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is sleeping on the linen sheets left by Queen Elizabeth.

6. Silk is the most slippery

A gorgeous appearance, rich in natural appearance, soft and flickering effect, comfortable, high strength, good elasticity and moisture absorption than cotton, but easy to be dirty, heat resistance to strong sunlight is worse than cotton, and its fiber cross section is The unique triangle, the reflection of light after local moisture absorption changes, it is easy to form water stains and it is difficult to eliminate, so the silk fabric should be white cloth when ironing.
