Know Your Bedding Material ~ Cotton
When
shopping for bed sheets, there's a lot to consider. Colour, size and style are
all important factors you’ll definitely have to think about when looking for
that “purr”fect sheet but the most important of all, is the fabric! The fabric
of your sheets will determine how rested you wake next day. Yep, that
important!
Everyone has
their favourites amongst these sheets fabrics. This post, and the ones that would follow, will shed some light
on their varying characteristics and how they works for you.
Cotton:
Made from
the pod of a cotton plant, Cotton is the all-natural fibre most favoured and
most used for bed sheets since it is most durable, most breathable and
the softest. A prime example is the Egyptian cotton, the most luxurious of cottons,
often used in high quality and very expensive bed sheets. |

Pro: Light, cool to the skin, comfortable, absorbent, easy to dye, and most importantly, can withstand high temperature.
Con: Expensive, does
not take to dyes as easily as synthetic fibres, wrinkles easily and shrinks
with washing. Cotton also tends to rip and wear out easily.
