Polycotton bedding

Polycotton is a high-quality cotton fabric with a touch of polyester. Most often, this material is used for sewing bed linen and other home textiles.

This blended fabric appeared in the middle of the 20th century. The material immediately attracted the attention of a large number of consumers due to its cheapness. But it also has a number of other advantages.

1. High wear resistance. This material is strong and durable. Regardless of what color the fabric was dyed, it lasts a long time and does not fade after washing. Such bed linen serves for more than one season. Therefore, it is great for everyday use. In addition, over time, the fabric does not stretch or shrink.

2. Easy to care for. Polycotton kits practically do not wrinkle. Therefore, they do not need to be ironed after washing.

3. Profitability. Bed linen made from this material is not very expensive. In addition, you don't have to buy any special products to take care of it.

4. Environmental friendliness. Bed linen perfectly absorbs moisture and does not cause allergies in adults or children.

But this material has its drawbacks. First of all, it is quite highly electrified. And also the material does not allow air to pass through well.

Today there are several varieties of polycotton.

1. Quilted. Used for sewing mattress toppers, pillows and blankets.

2. Bleached. Bed linen made from this material is often found in hotels and resorts.

3. Color. Used for sewing regular bedding sets. There are both light sets and dark ones, for example, gray or black. Polycotton sets decorated with flowers or interesting prints are popular.

Bedding sets made from this material also come in different sizes. It is worth choosing them, focusing on the parameters of the berth and the number of people who will use it.

• One and a half. This bed linen is designed for one adult or teenager.

• Double. Suitable for regular beds for 2 people. The set, in addition to the sheet and duvet cover, includes 2 or 4 pillowcases.

• Eurostandard. Differs in a wider duvet cover. Sleeping under it together is much more comfortable than under an ordinary double blanket.

• Family. The set includes a sheet, 2 or 4 pillowcases and 2 one-and-a-half duvet covers. This kit is great for couples.

• Baby. There are several options for such linen. The sizes of the sets must be selected, focusing on the age of the child and the characteristics of his bed.

• Lingerie for babies. This linen is specially designed for small cots. The set includes a small duvet cover and bed sheet and a small pillowcase. The sheets are usually firmly fixed to the mattress.

Both foreign and domestic companies are engaged in the production of polycotton bed linen. It is worth choosing suitable sets for yourself, focusing not only on the brand and country of origin, but also on the appearance and quality of the linen. Materials that are produced on the territory of Russia are not inferior to imported ones in wear resistance.

Polycotton is popular among both ordinary people and owners of hotels and recreation centers. Most of the bedding found in such places is made from this material.

When buying polycotton bedding, people are usually satisfied with the appearance and durability of this material. But at the same time, they note that with frequent washing, pellets appear on the surface of the fabric.

To make the material look good for longer, you need to adhere to the following rules when caring for it:

• turning pillowcases and duvet covers inside out before washing;

• use products with a minimum content of bleaching agents;

• wash clothes at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees;

• to soften material with a high polyester content, you must use a quality conditioner;

• dry the fabric immediately after washing;

• during the drying process, avoid direct sunlight on the bedding;

• only well-dried linen should be put into the closet for storage.
