What textures do different materials of quilt covers and bed sheets have respectively?
The question raised by the poster is about what textures bed sheets and duvet covers made of different materials have respectively? Here, the issue of the material of the bed sheet and duvet cover needs to be considered. Besides the material, the count of the fabric and its processing technology should also be taken into account.
Let’s first talk about the four-piece set made of pure cotton fabric.
Ordinary pure cotton fabric is usually 30-count or 40-count twill pure cotton fabric. Maybe the pure cotton fabric four-piece sets that you often come into contact with are made of this material. You can check the washable labels of your existing four-piece sets to see if there are any related items? This kind of fabric doesn’t feel as soft when touched, but its surface is generally smooth. If the fabric is relatively thick, it won’t have such a strong sense of conformity when touched.
In addition, there are high-count pure cotton products, such as 60-count, 80-count, and 100-count pure cotton satin fabrics.
Satin fabric, due to its different weaving techniques, feels relatively smooth to the touch and even has a certain luster. Generally speaking, the higher the count, the finer the cotton yarn, and the softer and more skin-friendly it is.
In addition to pure cotton fabrics of different counts, pure cotton also includes washed cotton, knitted cotton and brushed cotton fabrics.
Washed cotton is a fabric that has undergone a washing process, which is a pleating treatment. Therefore, washed cotton is particularly soft. If you like soft bedding, you can give washed cotton a try.
There is another type of pure cotton product made by knitting process, which is knitted cotton, also known as Tianzhu cotton. This knitting process is generally used as the fabric for making underwear, so it is also very soft. Its smoothness is not as good as that of satin, but it has a better skin-friendly feel. It is recommended that babies use this type.
Let’s take a look at the brushed fabric. It is made by processing pure cotton fabric with a brushed technique, giving it a fluffy touch when touched.
However, the pile is short and feels fluffy on the surface when touched. But if you look closely, you can hardly tell. It is a kind of fabric commonly used for four-piece sets in winter.
I won’t go into detail about polyester fiber products here. Because I think the water absorption and breathability of polyester fiber products are not very good, especially when used in summer, whether it’s bed sheets or pillowcases, you will feel that even a little sweat will stick to your body, and there is also a pricking feeling. So I don’t recommend buying four-piece sets made of this fabric.
For summer, it is more recommended to purchase a four-piece set made of Tencel fabric. Like modal, tencel fabric is a kind of adhesive fiber extracted from the wood of trees. Due to its unique characteristics, it has a relatively good hand feel. When used in summer, it gives a cool, smooth and comfortable sensation.
Because its price is relatively high and the patterned fabrics are all particularly beautiful, it is highly recommended to use this one in summer.
The last thing to mention is silk fabric. It can be said to be a queen-level fiber product among fabrics. It feels extremely soft and smooth, and has excellent moisture absorption and breathability. Moreover, silk has the natural effect of inhibiting bacteria and preventing fullness. If possible, you can get a four-piece silk set, but its price is indeed quite high. However, in summer, it is highly recommended to use a summer cool quilt made of silk. The comfort is really top-notch.
The above are the corresponding products for different fabrics. If you want to choose a product with a relatively high cost performance, it is recommended to select a four-piece set made of pure cotton fabric. If you want better softness, it is suggested to choose washed cotton and knitted cotton.
If you want products with good comfort and luster, it is recommended to choose all-cotton satin and Tencel products, especially the Tencel four-piece set, which is very suitable for summer use. The inherent cool and smooth feeling is really great. If you are not short of money, it is recommended that you directly purchase the silk four-piece set. Its comfort, softness, moisture absorption and breathability are all incomparable to those of ordinary fabrics.
