Pure cotton fabric is the most comfortable and breathable sheet cloth on the market at present, so most families prefer pure cotton sheets when choosing sheet cloth. Moreover, pure cotton fabrics also have the characteristics of economic benefits. So when choosing pure cotton sheets, how to tell whether they are pure cotton fabrics? Here are some simple identification methods:

Look at the sheets and fabrics.

1. Look at the label or washing sign. If it is marked with the words 75%- 100% pure cotton, it is a pure cotton fabric (inferior products are not excluded).

2. In addition, the pure cotton fabric is dull. Press the cloth flat with both hands to increase a certain tension. The fabric and the body are at a 45-degree angle downward. Look at the light source to see if there is any dazzling light flashing. If there is, it proves that there is chemical fiber, otherwise it is pure cotton fabric.

Touch the sheet fabric

You can tell whether the sheets are pure cotton by touching them. Pure cotton fabric feels plump and thick. It looks like cloth of the same thickness. Pure cotton feels very muscular, while polyester fabric feels soft, loose, boneless and relatively smoother.

Pinch sheet fabric

Pure cotton sheets have obvious folds after being pinched hard, and fabrics have obvious fold lines after being folded in half and scraped with nails. If the polyester fabric is pinched, there is no obvious wrinkle.

Burning sheet fabric

Draw a small piece of yarn from the hem of the bed sheet. Cotton fibers will not melt or shrink when they are close to the flame. When it touches the flame, it will burn immediately. When it burns, it smells like burning paper. When it burns out, it will be fine and soft gray-black or gray-white flocculent ash, which will not burn.

Benefits of choosing pure cotton sheets

Soft and comfortable, good hygroscopicity.

Cotton fibers of cotton sheets can absorb water in the air under normal conditions, and its water content is 8- 10%, which ensures that we feel soft and comfortable when touching cotton sheets, rather than dry and stiff. At the same time, because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, cotton fiber itself has the advantages of high elasticity and porosity, and a large amount of air can be accumulated between fibers. Air is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, which makes cotton fiber textiles have good moisture retention and are naturally more warm and comfortable.

Good heat resistance, durable and washable.

Under scientific research, it is found that the cotton products we use every day have good heat resistance. Even at the temperature of 100℃, cotton products will only evaporate water, but it has little effect on cotton fiber itself. In other words, our cotton products can be washed, printed and dyed at will in daily use, which will not have a great impact and greatly improve the durability and washability of cotton products.

The simplest and most direct method is visual touch. If the raw material is in a loose fiber state, such as cotton wool, it can be judged according to the appearance, color, feel and tensile strength of the fiber.
