When choosing bed linen, first of all, they pay attention to what kind of fabric it is sewn and this is not accidental, because the main characteristics of this type of home textiles depend on it. Some of the most popular fabrics are chic satin and comfortable ranfors. What kind of fabric to choose when choosing so that it meets all the necessary qualities?
In order to determine the preference, it is necessary to find out the differences and find out the main characteristics.
Let's start with satin, which is rightfully considered the queen of bedding fabrics. Smooth, shiny, high strength are just a few of its qualities.
Satin weaving is one of the strongest, due to the so-called five-to-one weaving, when there are four weft threads per warp thread. The threads are used strongly twisted, which allows you to achieve a silky and smooth surface. The fabric has a front and back side. The front side resembles silk due to its characteristic shine, and the back side is rough in structure. This is why satin compares favorably with silk, as it does not slip and is firmly held on the sleeping surface.
Satin is one of the densest fabrics, which has a positive effect on its durability; satin bed linen can withstand more than three hundred wash cycles with virtually no loss of its qualities. But this also entails a drawback, bedding made of this type of fabric, with a density of over one hundred and thirty grams per square meter of fabric, does not allow enough air to pass through, so it is quite hot under them in summer. The way out is to buy light satin bed linen with a density of 115-120g. m sq. for the summer period, which will diversify the setting of the greasy room and feel the summer mood even brighter.
Satin has excellent hygroscopicity and hypoallergenicity, it is environmentally friendly and safe to use.
Classic satin is made from 100% cotton raw materials. This fabric is one of the most expensive on the Ukrainian market.
Satin is quite easy to care for, there are no special restrictions, it is enough to follow the manufacturer's recommendations exactly and you will enjoy the unchanged appearance of your bedding set for a long time. For those who do not like to iron bed linen, satin is an excellent option, because after hanging it up and straightening it, and then folding it neatly, you can not iron it, it will be soft and pleasant to the touch.
Ranfors is a fairly new fabric on the Ukrainian market, which has managed to conquer its market niche.
Ranfors is a fabric of a coarse calico group, the weave of threads is simple - plain. The most reliable and simple weaving, which has been tested for many centuries of use. Ranforce is made of long-staple cotton fiber, which undergoes a multi-stage cleaning degree. Also, the fibers undergo repeated combing and strong twisting, which leads to the softness and extreme silkiness of the ranforce.
Ranfors has a matte surface on both sides, in contrast to satin, as well as the same fabric structure, both on the front and on the seamy side. The ranfors fabric holds firmly on the bed or sofa, does not slip and is very pleasant to the touch.
Ranfors is made of thin threads of the same thickness, which causes dense filling of the fabric area with threads. High-quality ranforce has a beautiful structure, high density, but at the same time it has excellent hygienic characteristics. It perfectly permeates air and absorbs moisture underneath it is not hot in summer and not cold in winter, it creates a pleasant microclimate in bed. This fabric has increased wear resistance, as well as resistance to wash-out.
Distinguish between ranforce of increased density, as well as light, variations with density are possible for use in winter and summer for even greater comfort.
Baby bed linen from ranforce is very popular because of its unpretentiousness, as well as special softness. It does not irritate the delicate skin of babies and is used from birth.
This fabric is easy to care for, does not require special knowledge, it is enough to use non-aggressive detergents, it is easy to iron, but it is possible to do without ironing, since it does not form strong creases and wrinkles.
The price category of bed linen from ranfors is average, high-quality ranfors with the addition of long-staple Egyptian cotton will cost almost the same as the average satin category.
Bed linen made of satin and ranfors has a number of features that must be considered when choosing. But all the same, the choice lies more in the preferences of the appearance and tactile characteristics, as well as the price. Both fabrics are ideal for sewing bedding.
