Why does the material of your sheets really matter?

Pima cotton VS Polyester

 

We spend a third of our lives sleeping, and the quality of that time is essential to our health and well-being. When choosing bedding, the material is the most important decision. There are typically two options: Pima cotton and polyester. At first glance, the price difference may be tempting, but the experience and long-term benefits are very different.

 

·         Pima cotton

Pima cotton is considered the “white gold” of textiles. It's extra-long fibers result in an exceptionally soft, breathable fabric that improves with every wash. In addition to it's luxurious feel, it guarantees unmatched durability, making it a true investment in your rest.

 

·         Polyester

Polyester is a very popular synthetic fiber due to it's low cost, but it sacrifices comfort. As it is not breathable, it retains heat and moisture, causing discomfort. It's  rough texture deteriorates with use, forming small balls that spoil it's appearance, making it a short-lived option.
