Key Differences Between Cotton & Polyester Bedding
As fellow luxury seekers, we know how much you appreciate true comfort in your everyday living routines. So, for the moments you’re faced with a crossroads between cotton or polyester for your bedlinen and towels, here’s everything you need to know!
Polyester
A man-made fabric, polyester is often marketed as durable, weighty and dense. This might sound luxurious, but it’s density actually restricts air regulation through the night. The result? Its synthetic composition traps moisture against the skin, creating an environment conducive to bacterial growth and skin irritations. Yikes! Due to its artificial nature, polyester is also resistant to breaking down in landfills, while further requiring excessive manpower and harmful chemicals to make. These points alone pose a severe threat to our planet, with its producing pollutants responsible for degradation and endangering ecosystems.
Cotton
On the other hand, cotton is a fabric derived from the Cotton Plant. When produced without the interference of any other fabric such as our 100% pure cotton bedding, it makes for a much more breathable bedding option that’s conducive to a healthy night’s sleep. All the while, it’s able to decompose more easily in landfill due to its plant-based origin. Fantastic! Another interesting perk? Caring for pure cotton is a breeze! A simple toss in the washing machine, and it dries gracefully either hung up or placed in the drier – restored to its natural glory!
