Microfiber bedding

Retail chains offer a wide range of bed linen from a variety of fabrics - artificial and natural, cheap and premium. Along with the classic underwear made of calico, percale, satin and silk, a new product appeared - underwear made of a material called microfiber.

Through complex and expensive technological processes, fibers of natural or synthetic origin are delaminated into thinner threads. The diameter of such microfibers is tens of times thinner than threads of cotton, natural silk and wool. Woven fabric with the general name microfiber consists of microfilaments interconnected by means of satin weave, which gives special softness and crease resistance to the fabric.

The pioneers in the creation of this technology were the Japanese, who presented samples of the material at an exhibition in Switzerland and established its mass production in the 90s of the XX century.

Quality bed linen and clothes are sewn from woven materials. Products in the lower class are made of knitted or knitted fabric. Non-woven microfiber is used for the production of cleaning wipes.

In the composition of microfiber used for the production of bedding, manufacturers include:

• cotton;

• viscose;

• synthetics - polyamide, polyester.

There are 4 types of canvas.

• Micro modal - base made of bamboo cellulose. Soft fabric with a silk-like texture.

• Tactel - with a delicate, delicate structure. Polyamide fibers are used for manufacturing.

• Meryl - the most expensive and high-quality, known for its antiseptic properties, arising after treatment with silver ions.

• MicroFresh - a novelty in the production of fabrics. Manufactured from polyester microfibers. Delicate, easy to care for, superior to cotton fabrics in its properties.

The main properties of microfiber - strength and hygroscopicity, are associated with the structure of the fibers, and in terms of them the material is in no way inferior to natural fabrics. Microfiber products have found applications in various fields.

The main characteristics of the material:

• durability;

• antifungal effect;

• lack of your own smell;

• environmental friendliness;

• high density.

Microfiber sleeping sets, although they have appeared on the market recently, have already gained love and popularity. This is facilitated by the high quality of the fabric.

The undoubted advantages include:

• reasonable price of products - comparable to the cost of linen made from the usual cotton fabric;

• during use and during washing, the material does not wrinkle, which saves scarce ironing time;

• fast drying after washing;

• produces pleasant sensations when touching the body due to the silky texture;

• good breathabilitydoes not interfere with natural air circulation;

• products are not subject to deformation - do not shrink and do not stretch even after numerous washes;

• good hygroscopicity - moisture is not only well absorbed, but also easily evaporates from the material;

• ease of care - well cleaned of dirt by washing;

• good strength to break;

• resistance to puffsthat worsen the appearance of the laundry;

• shedding resistance and fading.

Alas, even the practical and pleasant to the body microfiber textiles have disadvantages:

• the ability to accumulate and retain static electricity (applies only to products made of synthetic microfibers);

• washing and drying using a high temperature is contraindicated, as this causes deformation of the material;

• over time collects fat inside the fibers, which reduces hygroscopicity;

• possible individual intolerance to synthetics;

• high quality textiles made from natural microfibers are a rather rare and expensive product on the domestic market.
