Jacquard bedding

Jacquard bed linen, which has a natural composition, invariably collects rave reviews from customers. Sets with embroidery and multicolored, monochromatic and multi-colored are considered one of the most luxurious options, a worthy gift, a true decoration of the bedroom. Eurovariants and products from jacquard fabric of other sizes are presented on the market in the widest range. It is worth learning more about its types, manufacturers, and textile care before making a purchase.

Jacquard bed linen differs markedly from classic sets in a special structure of weaving of threads. The description of such kits looks promising. But it should be taken into account right away that jacquard is not at all the name of the material. This is the name of the ornament, formed on special machines, weaving together 24 threads in different directions.

Jacquard is very laborious to manufacture, so fabrics of this type are always more expensive than ordinary ones. Bed linen made of it is very durable, resistant to wear and tear. The fabric does not lose color during high-temperature washing, it tolerates drying well in the sun. The jacquard ornament on the fabric is not obtained by dyeing, but due to the interweaving of threads.

It is customary to attribute a number of factors to the features of jacquard bedding.

1. Original drawing. It looks especially impressive in multi-colored performance.Sets with duvet covers and jacquard pillowcases become a real decoration of the bedroom, do not need to use bedspreads in the daytime. The embossed pattern is very decorative in itself.
2. Hypoallergenic and comfortable. Cotton and silk jacquard sets retain all the properties of the original materials. They are pleasant to touch and do not provoke negative skin reactions. During sleep, the material ensures proper thermoregulation, cooling the body in the heat and keeping it warm in the winter.
3. Long-term preservation of a presentable appearance. Even after dozens of washes, the sets remain bright, luxurious and spectacular. This makes jacquard bedding a good choice as a gift for special dates. You can present a set for a wedding, anniversary, birthday.
4. High density. The fabric has no visible gaps between the fibers. It is heavier than coarse calico or flax.
5. Hygroscopicity. Jacquard sets "breathe", letting in air. This avoids the "greenhouse" effect that creates discomfort during sleep.

High cost is the main disadvantage of this type of textile product.... In addition, the composition of jacquard from modern manufacturers is rarely completely natural. If you do not want to pay for polyester, you should pay attention to the combined material. This category includes satin jacquard sets. In them, expensive textiles of complex weaving decorate only the front side, which significantly reduces the cost of bed linen.

Jacquard bedding is natural and synthetic. The composition of the first group of such materials involves the use of cotton, linen, silk, bamboo threads. Synthetic sets are made of polyester with the addition of cotton fibers in various ratios. Smooth options are also available with lace, with monochromatic or multi-colored ornaments.

All the options available are worth considering more closely.

• With embroidery. Jacquard itself is very decorative. However, some manufacturers turn this bedding into a true work of art. The embossed fabric, decorated with embroidered patterns on the front of the duvet cover and pillows, looks like a king. Usually, natural silk or artificial acetate threads are used for embroidery. The more complex the pattern, the more expensive it is to manufacture.
• Multicolored. Such jacquard textiles are formed from fibers of different colors. The background part usually has a calmer shade, the decorative part is decorated with contrasting patterns, often they are made gold, silver, similar to brocade. In multi-colored jacquard, the colors of the inner and outer surfaces may differ.
• Silk. In its pure form, it is extremely rare, since it requires the use of expensive raw materials. Silk jacquard is usually obtained in a mixture with cotton warp threads. Caring for such bed textiles is more difficult, high temperatures or UV rays are contraindicated for linen.
• Monochrome. The classic version of bed linen, in which the decorativeness of the products is formed due to the protruding embossed ornament. Snow-white jacquard looks very impressive. The fibers that make up the textiles are dyed in advance, even before weaving.
• Printed. In this case, unpainted materials are used in production. Drawing on them is applied by machines after the manufacture of textiles. This production method is used when sewing bed linen with modern prints, multi-color, with a complex pattern. And also the printed pattern is well suited for use on jacquard, consisting of heterogeneous threads.
• Satin jacquard. This is the name of the bedding sets, in which the seamy side of duvet covers and pillowcases, as well as sheets, are sewn from a simpler material.Satin is pleasant for the body, does not have a pronounced relief, it is comfortable to sleep on it. The outer decorative part of the set is made in jacquard, giving the bedroom a more luxurious look.

Additionally, manufacturers sometimes use such types of textiles with complex weaves and embossed patterns, such as satin jacquard or stretch jacquard. They also become a real decoration of the bedroom, but they have their own characteristics. For example, satin fabric is synthetic, easy to care for, and resistant to wear.

When choosing a set of jacquard bedding, you need to pay attention to the main nuances that can affect the resistance of the fabric to wear and tear, ease of maintenance. The first thing to look at is the composition of the fabric. Synthetic fibers in a quality product should not exceed 20%. It is better to choose kits with an admixture of silk, bamboo or other natural materials.

The choice of the country of origin also matters. Russian manufacturers rarely produce jacquard textiles themselves. Turkish brands occupy the lion's share of the market. It is they who offer high quality jacquard with a high content of natural materials. Synthetic options are most often found among goods from China, and the cost of the set will differ little, because complex interweaving of threads is valued in this type of fabric.

Jacquard bedding does not require special handling, but manufacturers always leave their recommendations for caring for it, taking into account the composition of the fabric and other characteristics of the material. This is a basic rule that should be followed when washing, cleaning or ironing a set. In most cases, it is not recommended to use whitening compounds, even mild and gentle ones..

Basic care is simple. Jacquard sets are washed at a temperature no higher than +40 degrees in a machine with a choice of rotation speed no more than 400 drum revolutions. It is recommended to dry your laundry naturally. This will avoid the formation of ugly creases on the surface of the fabric. The jacquard is ironed exclusively from the seamy side.

Jacquard bedding sets belong to the premium category of home textiles. The high cost is consistent with the declared quality level. Unsurprisingly, reviews of these products are often positive. Jacquard sets are praised for their attractive appearance, hypoallergenicity, and long service life. The material tolerates machine wash well - according to buyers, this is an obvious plus.

Satin-jacquard collects a lot of positive reviews - a combined version, in which part of the set is sewn from natural cotton fabric, and its decorative elements are decorated with luxurious weaving of a more expensive fabric. Such bedding sets are mentioned when it comes to combining comfort and aesthetics.

There are also negative reviews. They are connected with the mismatch of colors, too strong sheen of the fabric, decor in the spirit of "grandmother's curtains". The main criticism is caused by products made in China. It is here that a large number of synthetic additives are used, and they save on the quality of tailoring.
