What fabric is ideal for bedding?

A few decades ago, only thick and often stiff cotton fabrics were used to sew bedding, which was supposed to ensure the long-term durability of the material. However, with the development of textiles and technological progress, this situation has changed, so today we have a choice of many more types of bedding made from various materials.

Thanks to this, each of us can acquire a product that will fully meet our individual preferences. After all, everyone likes slightly different bedding: while some cannot imagine sleeping without a delicate and smooth to the touch duvet, others simply love it when it is slightly rough. Fortunately, the texture of the material does not have a major impact on health, and is only a matter of subjective feelings.

The matter is different when it comes to the composition of a given fabric. Among bedding materials, we can find those whose fibres are:

• completely natural (cotton, wool, silk, plant fabrics - e.g. linen),
• entirely synthetic (polyester fabrics, viscose, elastane, nylon, microfiber),
• mixed (e.g. cotton with viscose or polyester).

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to this question. As already mentioned, the ideal material for each person may be slightly different. However, this does not mean that all bedding fabrics are of good quality. On the contrary - many of them should be avoided.

First of all, this group includes completely artificial materials (except for high-quality, breathable microfiber). These are popular and cheap bedding fabrics, but their properties leave much to be desired. Why? There are several reasons:

• they tend to electrify and even stick to the body,
• bedding made of synthetic material does not allow air to pass through, which means it does not remove moisture (sweat, water vapor),
• Despite their resistance to abrasion, they are susceptible to pilling, which also shortens the service life.

These disadvantages should be enough to convince any of you to put your synthetic bedding back on the store shelf. It really is worth investing a little more and buying a set of bedding made of natural materials.

Well-chosen bedding will be airy, pleasant to the touch and much healthier than synthetic ones.

TIP: Use a similar principle when shopping for a mattress, sheets and pyjamas! The more natural the material for bedding, the healthier the sleep.

In addition, it is worth checking the quality and texture (weave) of the material before buying. Sometimes manufacturers use natural, but unfortunately cheap fabrics of mediocre quality. As a result, the bedding may be unpleasant to the body or not very durable. Cheap bedding may tempt with a good price, but its durability is not sufficient and after a few months it will have to be replaced with a new one. Ask yourself what bedding is best for me and my family? Invest in good quality bedding sets that will last for years.

By choosing bedding material from recognized manufacturers, we can count on very good quality.

What material should you buy bedding from if your child has allergies? Bedding made from natural materials has anti-allergic properties.

As we know, mites love moisture and warmth, so windproof bedding is the perfect environment for them to settle and develop. That is why natural bedding is the perfect choice for a child with allergies - it reduces the effects of allergies and improves the comfort of sleep.

Nowadays, many types of natural fabrics are used for sewing bedding, using the highest quality weave. Such materials provide proper ventilation and protection against overheating during sleep, which affects comfortable rest. It's time to take a closer look at individual fabrics.

Asking your friends for their opinions, you ask them what material to choose for bedding. The most popular answer will be: cotton. This is not surprising, because cotton bedding fabrics are still the most popular. They are characterized by high durability and a good price-quality ratio. Cotton fabrics allow the skin to breathe. Cotton bedding is easy to keep clean - it does not require special treatment during washing. In addition, cotton bedding works perfectly both in the summer (it allows the skin to breathe, perfectly wicks away moisture) and in the winter (it retains heat close to the body). So we can say that cotton bedding has no disadvantages. Unfortunately, it does, but only one, which is the tendency to creasing.

It is worth noting here that there is a wide range of cotton materials. Let's look at the popular types now.

Cotton satin fabrics are considered luxury materials because they are very delicate and are characterized by extraordinary softness. They owe this to a special method of weaving, in which the fibres create tiny and imperceptible rhombuses.

Cotton satin has a delicate shine. It is more resistant to creasing, which makes it look refined and elegant in the bedroom. Despite the tight weave, cotton satin bedding is highly breathable and ideal for hot, summer nights. Our offer includes hotel bedding made of cotton satin.

Cotton satin bedding – be sure to check the material composition. Note! Not all satin is made of cotton!

There is probably no one among us who has not had characteristic, crinkled bedding in their home at some point. This embossed cotton fabric is called bark and has been present in Polish homes for years. Bark retains all the advantages of cotton, and bedding made from it will certainly be appreciated by people who prefer slightly rough materials for bedding, as well as those who... hate ironing 😉 .

If durability is an important parameter for you when buying bedding, then cotton jersey fabric will certainly be a good choice. It is characterized by a dense weave, which makes it thicker, resistant to abrasion and dust penetration. Most importantly, it is very warm . Jersey is a bedding fabric for winter bedding. These cotton fabrics are suitable for people with allergies.

Flannel bedding is an exceptionally warm option for the autumn and winter seasons. Flannel fabric is very soft to the touch. It resembles velour because it is covered with a characteristic "nap" imitating wool. Its advantages include durability and thermal insulation properties . Another advantage that speaks in favour of flannel bedding is that it tolerates washing in a washing machine well. Flannel bedding is a proposition for people who value comfort.

Cotton percale fabric has a dense and smooth weave, but unlike satin it is completely matte. It is perfectly breathable and extremely light, which makes it one of the most popular products for summer. It leaves a pleasant feeling of coolness on the skin.

Cotton bedding - other bedding materials

There are other cotton materials that are used to make high-quality bedding. These include:

• damask bedding - damask is a patterned jacquard cotton,
• batiste - very thin, with a delicate texture,
• mako satin - bed linen cotton that looks like silk,
• Egyptian cotton - Egyptian cotton bedding is luxury bedding . Some consider it the best cotton bedding,
• waffle cotton — thick, soft and fluffy cotton knit.

Not everyone knows that woollen bedding also exists. What's more, bedding made of it is considered really exclusive. They are ideal for the colder months, but depending on the weave, they can also be used in the summer (an example is cashmere). Wool bedding is recommended for allergy sufferers, because it does not attract dust and has antibacterial properties. It also has a health-promoting effect in many diseases, e.g. rheumatism. Wool bedding retains its anti-allergic properties even during washing. Good wool bedding provides comfort of use for many years, if the proper care is applied.

Cotton is not the only material for bedding of plant origin. Any natural bedding can be successfully used by people with skin problems. What fabric will serve both in summer and winter? Definitely all-year bedding is made of natural materials that have thermal insulation properties and at the same time wick away excess moisture . Bedding made of natural materials is currently one of the most common choices among consumers. When buying bedding, the consumer has the natural environment in mind.

Linen bedding

Linen bedding has recently become fashionable due to its wonderful features. Linen is anti-allergic, bacteriostatic, biodegradable and very healthy . Linen bedding looks beautiful and is durable. Fans of ecological products will certainly appreciate linen bedding. To keep linen bedding in perfect shape, it should be specially cared for . This natural bedding requires delicate detergents for washing. In the summer, linen bedding reduces sweating during sleep. The bedding will also work great in the winter, as it provides excellent thermal comfort.

Bamboo bedding

The last material we will talk about is bamboo bedding fabric. It is considered a hypoallergenic fabric, and it is also called "artificial silk". This term should tell us a lot about bamboo bedding. It is soft and smooth, and also antibacterial and permeable . The excellent properties of bamboo make it an ideal material for children's bedding, especially as bedding for new-borns.

If you want to buy bed linen that will make you sleep better than ever before, be sure to choose a set made of natural fibres. The material of the bed linen is the basic criterion when choosing . Also consider what texture of the fabric will satisfy you. Some bed linen requires ironing - take this into account when browsing the bed linen.

The best bedding is the one that simply meets your needs and guarantees high sleep comfort. Plan your budget wisely, with the purchase of high-quality bedding in mind.

The size of the bedding is also important. The choice of patterns and colours should be of secondary importance. However, if you are a fan of minimalism, opt for a subdued colour and style. Fans of extravagant patterns will be delighted after seeing bedding with geometric or floral patterns. What bedding is suitable for a child? The pattern must certainly match the child's interests, but we recommend cotton bedding (e.g. Egyptian cotton), bamboo or wool. Be sure to check out our offer for children's bedding . Choose satin bedding for your bedroom, add a bit of luxury to your room.
