Many customers may have a vague understanding of bedding and often use some outdated misconceptions to comment its quality, which leads to confusion and dissatisfaction. Here, Wonderful is willing to answer some questions and share more knowledge of the home textiles, hoping to help you choose the best bedding products at Wonderfultt.com.
Is the thicker the fabric, the better?
"The thicker the fabric, the better the material is used, and the thicker the fabric, the more durable it is" is a view that everyone thinks is correct. However, judging the quality of fabrics by thickness is one-sided. Taking cotton fabrics as an example, the higher the fabric thread count and the finer the yarn, the lighter and thinner the fabric will be, but it will also be more skin-friendly and softer, and need more cost happened.
Is pure cotton always the best choice?
When buying bedding sets, most people ask: Is it pure cotton? They consider pure cotton to be the gold standard in bedding. In many people's minds, pure cotton is skin-friendly, moisture-absorbent and breathable, making it the only choice for bedding sets. However, with the advancement of technology, most regenerated fibers (viscose, acetate, lyocell) are as good as or even better than pure cotton in terms of skin-friendliness, moisture absorption, and breathability. Used in hot weather, it is cooling, refreshing, breathable and more comfortable than regular pure cotton.
Is the higher the thread count, the better?
Thread count is an important factor in determining quality, but it is not the only factor! Yes, a higher thread count usually means softer, finer fabrics, but it can also mean thinner, more delicate bedding that requires extra care. Asking for too high a count can also mislead you. For brushed cotton fabrics, lower thread counts actually provide more thickness and warmth, perfect for the colder seasons. For most people, a thread count between 40 and 60 is sufficient for everyday comfort.
Does color fastness equal quality?
All dyed bedding will show some fading after laundering because residual dye may not be completely rinsed out during the manufacturing process. This surface dye may cause fading in the first few washes, this is normal. However, if your bedding never fades, it may contain fixatives, which can cause excessive formaldehyde and pose potential health risks.
Does non-shrunk fabric mean better quality?
Highly moisturizing fibers, such as cotton and silk, will naturally shrink after washing. As long as the shrinkage meets national standards, it is considered normal. For example, in cotton fabrics, a shrinkage of ≤5% (i.e. 100 cm of fabric shrinks to 95 cm) is completely standard.
