Mahra
Terry is a very soft fabric that is pleasant to the body.. This is a fleecy fabric with elongated loops.
Natural fibers are used to make terry bedding
- cotton,
- linen,
- bamboo.
Thanks to the use of such fabrics, bed linen is characterized by environmental friendliness, vapor permeability, it absorbs moisture well and quickly removes it, and regulates temperature. All this creates comfortable conditions for relaxation.
After washing, the pile is slightly crushed, but quickly straightens out on its own.. Ironing the terry cloth is not recommended.
Percale
Percale is a smooth fabric made from untwisted cotton fibers.During the production process, the threads are coated with a special glue, as a result the fabric is dense, durable, smooth, but at the same time remains soft and light.
During use and after washing, the products practically do not wrinkle, so they don’t need to be ironed at all.
Polycotton
This fabric combines cotton and polyester fibers. The semi-synthetic composition allows you not to iron polycotton bed linen, because the material does not wrinkle during use and after washing.
Manufacturers often make the front side of products from cotton threads, and the back side from polyester. The optimal ratio of cotton and polyester is 65% and 35% or 50%/50%.
Such sleep sets are characterized by:
- strength,
- hygroscopicity,
- vapor permeability.
Poplin
This is a thin but very durable material that has a long service life. The composition of the fabric can be represented by the following options:
- 100% cotton;
- cotton with a small amount of synthetics added;
- silk and wool.
Poplin does not shrink, does not fade, does not lose its shape, does not wrinkle, so there is no need to iron it after washing.

Despite the artificial origin of the material, pellets do not form on microfiber.

Good breathability creates favorable conditions for relaxing on the bed at any time of the year.
Reaper
Bedding made from crinkled fabric, better known as “reaper”, has a natural composition. In the production of such linen, cotton is used - chintz, satin or calico. Externally, the products look as if they were strongly compressed and then straightened out.
Another advantage of the header is that it does not need to be ironed, just wash and dry the clothes.
Is heat treatment necessary?
First of all, bed linen is ironed to give it aesthetic appeal, because it is more pleasant to sleep on neatly ironed sheets. Also the high temperature of the iron kills all microbes, when washing this effect cannot be achieved.
Pathogenic microorganisms do not grow in all materials. If the fabric contains synthetic fibers, microbes cannot settle in them, which means that temperature treatment of accessories is not necessary.
