In this ultimate guide, we’ll show you how to keep your bedding as fresh as a daisy, so you can enjoy a restful and peaceful sleep every night.

Why Cleaning and Maintaining Your Bedding is Important

Have you ever stopped to think about what lurks in your bedding? Dust mites, sweat, dead skin cells, and bacteria can accumulate in your sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers. Not only can these allergens affect your sleep quality, but they can also cause skin irritations, allergies, and respiratory problems. By cleaning and maintaining your bedding regularly, you can eliminate these nasties and keep your bed fresh and hygienic.

How to Clean Your Bedding

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. To keep your bedding fresh and clean, you should wash it at least once a week. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Start by checking the care label on your bedding to ensure you’re using the right washing temperature and detergent.
  • Strip your bed of all the bedding, including pillowcases, sheets, duvet covers, and mattress protectors.
  • Shake off any loose dirt and debris.
  • Separate your bedding by color and fabric type.
  • Wash each set of bedding in the machine on a gentle cycle with a Mild detergent.
  • Hang your bedding out to dry in the sun, if possible, or tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Tips for Maintaining Your Bedding

Cleaning your bedding regularly is essential, but it’s not the only thing you can do to keep it fresh and hygienic. Here are some tips to help you maintain your bedding in between washes:

  • Air out your bedding every morning by folding it back and leaving it to breathe for a few hours.
  • Use a mattress protector to keep your mattress clean and free of spills, stains, and allergens.
  • Wash your pillows every three months, and replace them every two years.
  • Avoid eating or drinking in bed to prevent spills and stains.
  • Vacuum your mattress and bedding regularly to remove dust and debris.

Save yourself some cleaning time and provide your bed with some natural fabrics like cotton and linen as they are easy to maintain. Cotton bedding is breathable, soft, and can be machine-washed and tumble-dried on low heat. Linen bedding is also breathable, durable, and gets softer with each wash, although it can wrinkle more easily than other fabrics.

You often find yourself overwhelmed by the variety of bedding materials available. Nowadays, decorating your bedroom is nothing more than a task. With different fabrics possessing different qualities, it is easy to get confused about which one to buy. Most go for the safer options, which include cotton and linen. However, with time, we need to upgrade our bedding due to various reasons including weather, new design, and patterns, or because we want to.

Let us make this task easy for you by introducing to you one of the fabrics, which is common among many. It is polycotton. Are you not familiar with it? Well, do not worry. Just sit back and relax as we take you along the visual journey of polycotton bedding:

“Explication”

Remember this rule of shopping, to always have your research done before you buy anything. It is significant to know about the product you are buying, especially the wearables, not only your clothes but your bedclothes as well. Do you know why you need to be cautious when shopping for bedding material? It is because your sleep is at risk. A good night’s sleep carries a great significance that cannot be described in words. It calms your body and relaxes your mind. With an inadequate sleeping pattern, you are likely to have a disturbing day.

Nevertheless, let us dig into what polycotton is. Polycotton, as its name suggests, is a fabric consisting of two different threads including polyester, and cotton. You must be wondering how much percentage of cotton and polyester a polycotton fabric holds. Well, it varies as each wearable is different from the other. However, generally, it is 65% cotton and 35% polyester. It is lightweight and possesses the qualities of both cotton and polyester.

Another question that might be attached to your strings of thought is how is it manufactured? Well, the threads of both fibers are brought together at the yearning stage.

Designs & Patterns

Are you wondering about designs and patterns? Well, different designs and patterns, including floral, striped, simple, and others available. To find out more, check out our website, and you will surely be awe-inspired by the visuals and the variety available.

“Is It Durable”

Cotton has been our favorite bedding material for the longest time now. It helps you meet the long-lost comfort you have been looking for all along. With that, it does not wear out quickly and stays with you for a longer period. You must be wondering whether the respective quality of cotton is lost during the manufacturing process of polycotton.

Well, the concern is right to some extent. However, do you know that polyester contains plastic? Most of you must know about it. Thus, you cannot tear plastic easily. What does it indicate? It means that a polycotton bedsheet will not wear out quickly, it will stay with you for as long as you want to. Together with cotton, its strength increases, thus providing you with comfort for decades to come.

Moreover, do you know what fabric is used in hospital beds? It is polycotton. Do you know why? It is because the hospital bedsheets are required to be changed regularly, and polycotton sheets being the most durable, come as a benefit for them.

“Hassle-Free Maintenance?”

“Laundry is my favorite chore,” said no one ever. We all run from ironing and washing. It is because it is a task that demands time and effort. We all find it hard to care for things that require extra maintenance. It is usually because, with our busy schedules, we get tired, and house chores are the ones that get neglected the most.

Nevertheless, to make your life easy as polycotton comes as your savior. It does not require any extra care and maintenance. A regular wash in a washing machine with a normal cycle is enough. With that, throw your washed sheet into the dryer and let the dryer do its magic. See, how easy is that!

“Is It Budget-Friendly?

Most of us being price-conscious, often neglect the other significant elements while shopping. However, polycotton saves you from such concern as it does not rip your wallet. It is available at affordable rates, keeping your wallet cool and calm.

“Is It Breathable & Hypoallergenic?”

The most significant element that needs to be considered before buying any fabric is whether it is breathable and skin-friendly. Do you know why? Well, people with sensitive issues might relate to it. Do you often get allergies and rashes when you wake up? It is because your sheet traps the sweat your body releases, and thus, you are all itchy when you wake up.

Moreover, do you often toss and turn over, as you get too warm while sleeping? Well, it is because the sheets you are sleeping on lack temperature regulating properties and, thus, it does not let your body breathe. Instead, it traps heat, further disturbing your sleep.

You must be wondering whether polycotton possesses the qualities of regulating temperature and is skin-friendly. Well, you might not be happy to hear the answer, as polycotton with its numerous benefits, lacks these qualities.

Is It For You?

Well, to answer whether polycotton bedding is good for you or not, depends entirely on your taste and preferences. Given its other benefits and the season we are currently residing in, polycotton is an option that awaits your call.

However, if you have sensitive skin, avoid polycotton, as it will provide nothing but more allergies.

What will you say if asked about the most preferred fabric for bedding? Most of you will answer cotton or linen. It does not come as surprise as they both are natural fibers and possesses unmatchable properties. The mesmerizing field of cotton, surrounds you with the peace you have been longing for, and laying on the fabric made out of the respective crop, provides you with the most comfortable sleeping experience. It is significant to have the right bedding as your sleep has the power to control how you carry out your day-to-day activities.

However, despite the advantages, the respective fibers carry, another fiber makes it to the list of providing a night of peaceful sleep. Can you guess it? Let us give you a hint. It is not a natural fiber, and it is composed of polyester threads. You might be befuddled, but nothing to worry about, let us tell you, it is Microfiber. Let us see how true is it that microfiber is a fine choice for bedding:

“Ethically Sourced”

Nowadays, given the situation of the environment, most of us are trying to adopt a sustainable lifestyle. If you are someone who has adapted or is trying to adjust to this new lifestyle, what is the element that you consider significant when buying products? Most of you must be thinking about where the product was made and how was it produced?

Well, these are considered essential when buying products. Do you know that microfiber is more ethically sourced than cotton? You must be awe-struck by the information and have a flood of questions regarding the possibility of it. Well, cotton is mostly imported from third-world countries, and the people in charge of crops and production are underage and are not provided with any safety precautions. With that, they are not even paid enough.

Whereas, microfiber is not sourced as cotton or linen. It is a fine choice as it not only provides you with benefits, but it is also saving humanity from cruelty. Buying a microfiber bedsheet will provide you with a sound sleep as you will know you did not cause harm to anyone.

“Hypoallergenic”

Are you struggling with inadequate sleep patterns due to rashes and allergies on your skin? Well, you might have to consider changing your bedding material. You might be in a state of confusion, but bedding indeed plays a significant role in protecting or harming your skin. Some materials have absorption quality, which absorbs the sweat, giving a call to allergies. Moreover, it even let bed mites and bugs in, further disturbing and hurting you.

Are you wondering, which bedding material will be friendlier on the skin, keeping away all the bugs and mites? Well, hold on to something as this news might come as a shock for you. Are you ready to hear? Well, it is the microfiber bedding. It helps you in keeping you away from all the allergies and is ideal for people with sensitive skin. It is soft and provides you with the comfort that especially people with sensitive skin, have been longing for.

“Highly Durable”

Goodbyes always hurt whether you are saying it to your friend or your favorite bedsheet. Some sheets are marked as favorites, and seeing them with threads pulling apart, might not be a moment you want to stay in. Thus, if you are looking for a bedsheet that can be used over and over again, microfiber is the choice you need to make.

Your one-time investment in a high-quality microfiber will provide benefits like no other. They are warm and soft. With that, it is wrinkle-resistant and stain-resistant. Yes, you read it right. With cotton and linen being of no use after being in contact with a stain. Microfiber bed sheet does not disturb you like that. You do not have to give away your favorite bedsheet.

It will be a companion that will always be beside you. It will not wear out like other materials.

“Affordability & Maintenance”

Are you looking for a fine-quality bedsheet or pillowcases, but struggling with the budget? Well, let your wallet rest as microfiber is here as your savior. With all the benefits it possesses, it is also available at a budget-friendly rate compared to Egyptian cotton. You can relish all the benefits at a low cost.

Moreover, when it comes to maintenance, it does not comes as a hassle, rather, it creates ease for you. You can wash it in our washing machine by setting the temperature high and letting the washing machine do its magic. The condition of the microfiber sheet, pillowcases, and others will not be disturbed, it will remain the same.

“Cons”

With all the benefits possessed by microfiber bedding, you must be thinking about, its drawbacks. Well, to know whether microfiber is a fine choice for bedding, its pros, and cons, need to be noted before making the final decision.

Since microfiber is a synthetic fiber, it traps air, an indication that it might cause a problem while sleeping. Due to lack of breathability, you might not feel comfortable, and thus, your whole sleep will be disturbed. Moreover, if you opt for a low-quality fiber, it will not last long but will wear out in a blink of an eye. Therefore, be careful when buying sheets.

In comparison, natural fibers such as cotton are more breathable and regulate your body temperature.

Is Microfiber A Fine Choice?

Well, to answer this, your taste and preference are what you need to consult. We have explained all the benefits and drawbacks that come with it. It is affordable, soft, and stain-resistant, however, it lacks breathable quality. Thus, choose wisely!

We have plenty of things to take into consideration when shopping for our bedding sets. However, we are in the most confused state when buying bed sheets. With so much variety available, it is easy to get strings of thoughts jumbled up. Slight differences are found in a variety, thus adding even more pressure on the strings. Nevertheless, deep research is necessary to buy the perfect sheet for the bed. Do you know why is it significant to sleep on the right bedding? To stay healthy and function well, peaceful sleep is important. Many of us wake up in the middle of the night, either being a sweatbox or a cool bank. These interruptions can adversely affect sleep and day-to-day activities. Therefore, the buying decision comes down to the fabric.

To make things easier for you, Bedding Republic is here as an enchiridion explaining the difference between the two fabrics: Cotton and Tencel. Let us see what distinctive properties each possesses, and which fabric is better for you.

“Interpretation”

Do you know from which tree Tencel is made? Let us provide you with a hint. It helps get rid of mosquitoes. Some of you might have guessed it by now. It is the eucalyptus tree. The wood cellulose of the tree is where the Tencel comes from. It is smooth and has a shiny touch to it. Let us roll a piece of awe-inspiring information about Tencel. It is both natural and synthetic. However, Tencel is not the fabric itself, it is the brand name. The fabric is known as lyocell. The natural material is turned into fiber, through the manufacturing process, known as the closed-loop process.

Whereas Cotton is a natural fiber. The soothing field of Cotton is therapeutic as in one breath, it takes away all the stress and surrounds you with serenity. The white fluff-ball quality is highly dependent upon the staple. Are you wondering what staple is? A staple determines the length of the fiber. The longer it is the more luxurious it will be. Do you know what name the long-staple cotton goes by? Egyptian and Pima Cotton. Now you know why both of these sheets are smooth and silky.

“Juxtaposition”

Let us compare both and see what differences they carry:

Eco-Friendly

Do you know that producing fabric from wood pulp is better than cotton? You must be wondering how is that so. It is because the fabric is made with less water, effort, and energy. Eucalyptus trees minimize the impact of pesticides, acting as a shield in front of them. Moreover, the amount of water required by these trees is far less than what is demanded by cotton.

With that, if we dig deep into the manufacturing process, we will see that the closed-loop process does not let the fabric go to waste as it is recycled, providing it the shape of the respective material.

Softness

We all long for comfort when we come home after a tiring day. Lying on a soft and smooth sheet takes away all the stress, providing our body with the rest it longs for. However, the question arises, who wins the title of softness? Well, Tencel is considerably softer than cotton. Nevertheless, it might be difficult to judge as cotton gets softer, and more comfortable with time.

Therefore, the decision relies on your taste and preferences.

Sterility

Both Cotton and Tencel are highly breathable and skin-friendly. Thus, if you own a cotton sheet, you should stick with it. You do not need to change.

Durability

With our busy schedules, we buy things that require less of our effort. For instance, a wrinkle-resistant sheet saves us the time of making the bed. Let us awe-struck you with this piece of information. Tencel possesses the quality of having little to no wrinkles as compared to cotton. Moreover, it further does not shrink when washed.

However, the durability of cotton sheets is astounding. It gets better with time and can last for more than five decades.

Stylish Look

You must be wondering, which gives a luxurious and classy look to the bed? Well, it highly depends on your preference. Cotton sheet is crisp, smooth, and soft, whereas Tencel sheet is cool, hygienic, with a smooth touch. Both provide a classy yet comfortable look to the bed.

So, which one will you prefer?

“Who Wins The Title Of Being Best”

With both, come numerous benefits and drawbacks. Let us have a look at those before we jump to a conclusion.

                                                               Cotton

Benefits Drawbacks
Cool & Crisp Some sheets are prone to wrinkle
Easy Maintenance Needs a lot of water
Available in different price brackets

                                                             Tencel

Benefits Drawbacks
Environmentally friendly

High price

Wrinkle-Resistant Maintenance is difficult
Hypoallergenic

 

 

 

As all the facts have been stated, the conclusion is yet to be revealed. Tencel is better for those who have skin allergies and hygiene issues. Moreover, it is a piece of luxurious fabric and requires a heavy price to be paid. However, cotton has its benefits and has always been a preferred choice for bedding. With all the qualities both possess, choosing one is difficult.

Therefore, the decision comes down to your sense of touch and feel. You have all the information and to further explore you can visit stores to see which suits you best.

A fabric that is adored by all and keeps warm and cozy, providing you a night of restful sleep, can you guess it? Not yet. Let us give you a hint. The fabric is close to nature, and most of us adore the specie from which it comes. Now you probably know the answer. It is wool that is being talked about. Tell us a better fabric that will provide you with softness and warmth that you cannot let go of easily. Good luck with the hunt!

Wool has been a savior for the textile industry for decades. It is considered to be ideal for bedding filling. The properties it possesses, not only provide you with a night of comfortable sleep but are also skin-friendly and regulate your body temperature. Still in confusion? Let us dig into the details as to whether you should invest in wool bedding or not:

“Hypoallergenic”

Do you know what percentage of the population has an allergic disease? You will be in shock to know. More than 19% of Aussies. Different causes are to be seen for the reactions and one of them is the bedding material you sleep on. There have been widespread rumors about wool, that it is not friendly to the skin and gives allergies. It is one of the main reasons people do not prefer wool for their bedding. However, if you look closely, the allergic reaction is caused by non-organic wool. Whereas, if you buy yourself organic wool bedding, you will be awe-struck by its softness and hypoallergenic properties that ensure your skin is safe and sound.

Therefore, the myth about wool being harmful to the skin just shattered.

“Temperature Regulating Properties”

You might often find yourself in a sweatbox at night in summers or a cool bank in winter, while you are sleeping. Do you know why that happens? It is because the bedding that you have provided yourself to sleep on is not right for you as it possesses the qualities of absorption and does not possess breathability. Ventilation is significant for your body to relax rather than getting tensed. The worldly headaches are enough to keep us under stress. Our sleep should not be compromised at any cost. Rather our sleep should be a stress reliever for us, not an add-on to it. With so many fabrics possessing the quality of regulating body temperature to what is required, wool is one of them.

The wool bedding takes care of you the same it does for a sheep when attached to it. You will notice how changing your bedding to organic wool makes a difference in your sleep. You will sleep better and achieve the level of comfort your body has been longing for.

“Durability and Longevity”

Wool provides a stance that is well enough for you to invest in it. It is durable and will stay with you, providing you with similar comfort for years to come. Some of you might be wondering why wool is often seen being sent back to the mill. Well, the following sentence will counter this concern as wool will come out as new as it was when you bought it. The point is that wool can be reused. It indicates that wool is environmentally friendly, and you do not have to waste it. It is not something to be thrown away. It can be of the same shape again.

“Animal Welfare?”

It is a significant question and must have crossed your mind a couple of times. Well, if seen without a reason, then the question might seem to be rightly taken as it drew a picture of hurting animals. However, when you dig deeper, you will know that harvesting wool is actually for the well-being of sheep. It is done painlessly. The sheep are well-taken care of. They are provided with organic feed and are given a large space to roam around and live freely.

By now, you must have made up your mind to invest or not, but what bedding Republic thinks is yet to be revealed. To us, it seems to be reasonable to invest in wool. It possesses all the qualities, that are safe for us, animals, and the environment. Therefore, we recommend you invest in it.

Well, here we are to lower your burden by showing you a gateway towards the most commonly preferred fabrics sateen and percale. We all long for a good night’s sleep after a hectic day. With our busy schedules, it is difficult for us to complete the hunt.

“Abridgement”

You must be thinking that both the sheets belong to the same class of fabric, so how come they do not possess the same properties? To answer this, let us have a look at the overview of what sateen and percale sheets are.

SATEEN

The fabric is a statement of its own. Sateen possesses the quality of having a subtle shine and a smooth look. The style of weaving is different from others. It indicates that one yarn under, three yarns over the weave. The manufacturing process is what makes the sheets heavier yet comfortable and classy.

PERCALE

The crispiness that the respective fabric carries is due to one yarn under, one yarn over the weave. It is what makes percale soft and smooth. The thread count of percale lies around 200.

“The Title Of Durability”

Both sateen and percale have some awe-inspiring qualities, but they vary in some. Durability is one aspect that we all look for when buying bed linens. It assures that the quality will not be worn out easily, rather it will stay the same and benefit the same for a longer period.

Sateen sheets are considered somewhat durable. They are inclined to pill. Thus, washing them frequently can ruin the sheet. They require high maintenance for them to last long. The shine may even fade away with time.

Upset? why sateen sheets are not durable? Well, do not worry as percale sheets are more durable in comparison. The more these sheets are washed the softer they get. Therefore, it is useful for a longer period as it continues to provide comfort till it lasts.

“Popularity”

Every fabric is popular for one or the other reason in providing us with a benefit that they lead-in. Both sateen and percale sheets are popular for their usefulness in their respective areas.

Do you suffer from skin allergies? Sateen sheets are highly preferred for people with sensitive skin. Different sheets made of different fibers tend to spark up the skin allergies, thus, the sateen sheet comes as a savior. The smoothness it carries is skin-friendly and helps people with skin issues to have a restful sleep.

Percale, on the other hand, is known for its crispness. The fabric itself is very light and breathable. Therefore, the qualities it has been exceptional and is an indication of providing you a good night’s sleep.

“Who Is More Prone To Heat?

Most of us look for a fabric for our bed linens that possess temperature regulating properties. It is significant for a sheet to have the respective quality to provide a smooth and sound sleeping experience. It helps in regulating the body’s temperature following what is required.

Percale sheets come with good news for us. It possesses temperature regulating quality. It can be used in all seasons. It will help in regulating your body temperature by not turning us into a sweatbox in summers and a cool bank in winters.

What about the sateen sheet? Well, if not all season, they can benefit us specifically in this period as we are moving towards winters. The weave is not as breathable as percale is and might turn us into a sweatbox in summers. It is more prone to heat due to its absorption quality. Therefore, it is better to opt for sateen sheets at this time of the season.

“Maintenance”

With our busy schedules, it is difficult for us to manage things that require high maintenance. Some fabrics require to be washed frequently, while others lend a helping hand by not disturbing us every other day. Who wins the title for giving us the relaxation?

Sateen sheets are easily manageable as they do not require us to wash them by hand, rather they can be easily machine washed. The only concern while washing them would be to use a mild detergent and set the machine at gentle. It saves the hassle of drying them as they can be easily dried in the machine.

Do percale sheets give a similar benefit? Well, percale sheets can be machine washed but since they are not wrinkle resistant as sateen sheets are. It will require a hassle as it requires to be ironed before spreading it on the bed to maintain its crispness.

Which Is Better?

It is hard to answer this as it completely depends on your preference. An interesting aspect is that both sheets come with the same price tag. Therefore, the only way you can choose is by weighing the qualities that each of them possesses. If you are a fan of silky textures, sateen is the call you need to make.
