Cotton is a natural material
It is often used extensively in our daily lives
“Pure cotton” is probably the most common fabric we see
Every time When you see these two words, you will feel more at ease when buying
We also prefer to use pure cotton products because cotton has good hygroscopicity and is more comfortable
>The types of cotton are not just pure cotton
They are all different
Combed cotton
The raw materials of combed cotton are the same as pure cotton, except that During the production process, a combing machine is used to comb out the shorter fibers in the cotton fibers and remove impurities. Therefore, it is smoother and more breathable, absorbs sweat and moisture, is not prone to pilling, and is more washable and durable.
Combed cotton feels softer and has a stronger luster than pure cotton. It has fewer fiber impurities and is more evenly dyed. However, due to the high cost of production, the price is relatively low. It’s a bit more expensive.
Knitted cotton
Knitted cotton is a fabric made of knitted cotton threads. It is relatively elastic, has a strong surface texture, is soft and wrinkle-resistant, has high color fastness, and is nearly pure in breathability. cotton.
However, knitted cotton is easy to curl, deform, and dye, so stay away from things that will fade.
Washed cotton
Washed cotton is a fabric that has been pre-washed at high temperature. It has wrinkles on the surface and looks older. It has good thermal insulation, soft color, is not easy to deform and fade, is not easy to shrink, and has a lazy texture.
There are generally two raw materials for washed cotton – plant cotton and polyester. Plant cotton is several times more expensive than polyester. So you can read the ingredient label when purchasing.
Long-staple cotton
Long-staple cotton is named after its raw material, which is a type of cotton with longer fibers. Long-staple cotton has better quality than ordinary cotton. Its fibers are soft, long, breathable, strong and comfortable. Only 3% of global cotton production can be called long-staple cotton.
The quality is superior
1
Long-staple cotton takes a longer time to grow and requires a lot of heat. Under the same heat conditions, long-staple cotton grows The production period is 10-15 days longer than ordinary cotton, the fibers are soft and long, and the quality is superior to ordinary cotton.
Although long-staple cotton is also 100% cotton, its performance is higher than that of ordinary 100% cotton. It is a key material for domestic high-end textiles.
The touch is more comfortable
2
The touch is very important for the quality of sleep. The comfort level can be best felt through the mutual contact between skin and fabric. Long-staple cotton fibers are soft and long, generally 33-39 mm, and can be up to 64 mm in length. Generally, the longer the length, the higher the length uniformity, the less short velvet, the finer the yarn can be spun, the more uniform the yarn dryness, the higher the strength, the smooth surface, the less hairiness, and the more skin-friendly fabric, bringing a comfortable experience.
Glossy like silk
3
Long-staple cotton fibers are thin and long. The fiber cross-section is close to round and has strong diffusion ability. Its fabrics are mercerized. OK, the dyeing effect is better. Long-staple cotton has a shinier, silkier feel than ordinary cotton. Drapes well and has a silky sheen.
Soft and close-fitting
4
Long-staple cotton fabric itself has long and thin fibers, higher fineness and strength than ordinary cotton, and better softness. Therefore, the woven fabric is soft, comfortable and close-fitting. Long-staple cotton allows heat to dissipate quickly, keeping you fresh and comfortable throughout the night.
Wash like new often
5
Long-staple cotton fiber has high fiber strength, 4-5 grams of force/fiber, and a breaking length of 33-40 kilometers. Cotton fiber has a close relationship with fiber maturity. High-strength fibers also have high strength after being spun into yarn. They are wear-resistant and durable, have good wrinkle resistance, are not easy to pill, and are more resistant to washing.
In fact, these “cotton” fabrics have their own characteristics
Some are named after their craftsmanship
Some are a kind of raw material
When you buy bedding
You can choose according to your own preferences, don’t get confused~
