Cotton bedding began to be made back in the 12th century, then weaving fabrics were used the same as in the modern world satin, calico, poplin, percale. But in those days, cotton did not undergo multi-stage cleaning, so cotton bed linen was grayish-beige and did not have tenderness and softness.
The history of cotton bedding
In China, bed linen was made mainly from silk, in Europe from wool, and in Muscovy from flax. Cotton was an unexplored raw material for home textiles until the 12th century, when European craftsmen decided to use it to weave satin fabric. The result was a very beautiful world's first cotton fabric for a bedding set, which was cheaper than its predecessors, but practically did not concede in appearance, and even surpassed them in hygienic properties. After all, cotton does not cause irritation like wool, does not slip like silk and does not wrinkle like linen. It absorbs moisture sufficiently, does not impede air circulation and keeps its shape well. Since then, cotton bed linen does not lose its relevance, but only takes on new forms.
Types of cotton bedding
bedding sets 100% cotton vary in size:
single, it is also teenage, complete with sheets, duvet cover and one pillowcase;
one and a half is completed with two pillowcases, one duvet cover and a sheet of one and a half size;
double bed linen cotton;
cotton euro bedding sets;
family bed linen with two duvet covers;
After washing, cotton sets shrink from 3% to 6%. This parameter depends on the quality of the raw materials used, if long-staple cotton is used, then the shrinkage is minimal, even when washing in hot water. If low quality cotton is used, then such bedding will shrink 6%, this feature must be taken into account when choosing cotton bedding.
also cotton bed linen differs by the type of weaving:
satin is one of the most beautiful types of cotton bedding;
ranfors has a beautiful appearance, despite the simple plain weaving, due to the use of the thread twisting method, which gives a light shine and makes the fabric soft to the touch, unlike a relative of coarse calico;
percale has no special tactile differences from the composition of the matter, be it cotton or linen, it is equally pleasant and light as cambric;
cotton coarse calico is a little harsh and has no shine, but it has an affordable price and good hygienic properties;
