COTTON BEDDING

It is made from natural cotton fibres, harvested from the cotton plant (mainly the Gossypium species).

THE COTTON HARVEST

Once the cotton bolls ripen, they are picked from the plants. The harvest may be done by hand or by machine, depending on the scale of the farm.

CLEANING AND SEPARATING THE FIBRES

Processing the fibres

The cotton fibres are spun, which means turning them into cotton thread or yarn. This can be done by hand or by machine.

Weaving: the cotton threads are then woven on looms into a cotton fabric of the right structure and texture.

The finished cotton fabric is cut and sewn to the right sizes and shapes, making up the different pieces of a bedding set — sheets, pillowcases and bedspreads.

The whole process of making cotton bedding calls for precision, so that the result is a high-quality item that is kind to the skin and comfortable to use.

Besides ordinary cotton bedding, the market also offers higher-grade products such as cotton sateen and hotel cotton bedding. Cotton sateen bedding has a soft sheen and a silky touch, which makes it especially pleasant to use.

It is an excellent choice for anyone after a luxurious night's sleep. Hotel cotton bedding in damask, meanwhile, adds durability and easy washing to the quality of the material, which makes it ideal for the heavy use typical of the hotel trade.

Various sizes are available, including the popular 200x220 cm, which fits most double beds and makes for a comfortable night every night.

Cotton bedding is durable, easy to care for and comes in many colours and patterns — floral bedding, for one — so it can be matched to any bedroom. It is a safe choice for the whole family too, being hypoallergenic and free of harmful chemicals.
