To date, the fashion for bedding has changed a lot: the sets of underwear have become bright, colorful, and the variety of fabrics has already turned heads for many. With the help of beautiful bed linen, you can easily decorate the interior of your bedroom. Not without giving such an intimate detail of the bedroom as a gift. What kind of bedding is and what are its main differences, as well as how to properly care for it, you can read in this article on bedding. We will consider the types of only natural fabrics, and for convenience, we will start in ascending order with the most inexpensive ones.

Calico

Among the economical options in the list of bedding sets, coarse calico takes the first place. This kind of 100% cotton fabric is distinguished by its dense cross-weave. Coarse calico products have good density, and therefore, very high strength and good wear resistance. This linen is breathable and moisture-absorbing, and dries quickly. However, it is necessary to understand that a set of coarse calico linen cannot compete with linen made of satin and other luxury fabrics. But the indisputable advantage of coarse calico linen is its affordable price.

Ranfors

In fact, this is the same calico, but of a higher quality. The weaving of the fabric, as in coarse calico, is a cruciform linen, however, the density is higher and for the production of this fabric, cotton fiber of a higher quality is used. The fabric is thinner and softer in comparison with calico, pleasant to the touch.

Poplin

Poplin linen is appreciated for the softness and warmth of the embrace, it keeps warm well, so that chilling chills on the skin can be avoided. Poplin owes these qualities to its special weaving. For the production of poplin, we use plain cruciform weaving and alternation of thin and thicker threads of the highest grade. Poplin linen can be safely recommended to customers who value excellent quality for a reasonable price.

So, we move on to the fabrics of the luxury lingerie sets:

Satin

One of the most demanded fabrics among luxury bedding is satin. Light weightlessness and shine, reminiscent of silk, are able to give your relaxation heavenly comfort. Satin is smooth to the touch, excellent breathability and quick moisture absorption. An unusually beautiful design and an abundance of shades amaze the imagination of even the most sophisticated customer! And it is not at all surprising that it is sateen bedding that is often chosen as a gift.

Tencel

Another unique discovery on the textile market is natural cellulose fiber from Australian eucalyptus - Tencel fabric. In addition to its environmental friendliness and hypoallergenic qualities, this material is unique in that it has absorbed the best qualities of fabrics such as cotton, bamboo and silk. The tencel material took its softness from cotton, inherited antibacterial qualities from bamboo, and lightness and silkiness from silk. Despite its smooth embrace, the fabric is velvety and delicate to the touch.

Jacquard

What is jacquard? It is a high quality satin with an extraordinarily beautiful woven pattern. No other bed linen can boast such a luxurious pattern, reminiscent of frosty patterns on glass, like jacquard. Its unique appearance will not lose its beauty and bright colors, even after many years of use. No set of underwear with a printed pattern can match the quality and style of jacquard underwear.

Bamboo

The best option for the most delicate and sensitive skin, as well as for those who have a tendency to allergic reactions, is bamboo bedding. Bamboo absorbs moisture better than all fabrics, exceeding cotton by more than three times.

It is made from environmentally friendly bamboo fiber through special processing. This fiber has antiseptic properties, prevents bacteria from multiplying. To the touch, the material resembles both silk and satin in a velvety design. Bamboo fabrics with their touch will give not only comfort, but also gentle skin care.

Bed linen care rules

In order for bed linen to delight you with its bright colors and excellent appearance for many years, you should adhere to simple care recommendations:

1. To preserve the brightness of colors, we recommend using special powders for colored laundry that do not contain bleach.
2. When washing, it is advisable to add an active oxygen-based stain remover (washing powder activator) that does not contain chlorine. This additive prevents paint washout and preserves color brightness. In addition, it prevents the color from migrating from one field to another.

3. To prevent the formation of scuffs on the fabric during washing (this is especially true for dark fabrics), we recommend turning the pillowcases and duvet cover inside out. The sheet can be placed inside the duvet cover.

4. Bed linen made of contrasting fabrics (black and white, etc.) should be separated and washed separately during the first wash.
5. After washing, immediately remove the laundry from the washing machine and hang to dry to avoid caking, creases and color migration.
6. Do not forget about the temperature regime, which is indicated on the product label. For most fabrics, this is 40 degrees.
7. Iron the bed linen with a moisturizer on the wrong side.
