Cotton vs. Microfiber: Which is best for you?
Your bed is your sanctuary. A place of rest and rejuvenation, it provides you with the sleep you need each night to stay healthy and happy. Quality bedding – particularly your sheets, since they rest directly on the skin – will make your sleeping space more inviting and comfortable and ultimately help to improve the quality of your sleep. But which is the best fabric to buy: cotton or microfiber?
In fact, there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing between our cotton or microfiber bedding. Cotton sheets are made from organic natural cotton, whereas microfiber bedding is made from high-quality synthetic fibers. One isn’t better than the other – it’s all about personal preference. So to help you decide between them, let’s take a close look at the differences.
Cotton Bedding
Our 100% cotton bedding products are a great choice if you prefer natural fabrics without sacrificing incredible softness and quality. The cotton fabric that we use in these products is handcrafted in the beautiful Portugal countryside by artisans from a family-owned textile manufacturer. It is thoroughly tested and certified OEKO-TEX, which means it is free of any substances and chemicals which are known to be harmful to your health.
Microfiber Bedding
Our luxury triple brushed microfiber is a wonderful option if you want bedding that is high-performing and breathable with a petal-like softness. Wrinkle-resistant and durable, microfiber sheets are made to be super easy to care for and long-lasting. They’re also ideal if you suffer from allergies, since microfiber is known to help lessen allergens and dust mites. Our 100% extra-finely woven microfiber is tested and certified OEKO-TEX.
Cotton vs. Microfiber Bed Sheets
As mentioned above, choosing the right kind of bed sheets to snuggle up in is extra important. You’ll want to be sure that your sheets have the right amount of weight and breathability, and a texture and softness that feels comfy on your skin.
We have several excellent choices of luxury sheet sets made from both cotton and microfiber, including:
Cotton vs. Microfiber Comforters
When it comes to comforters, as well as blankets and coverlets, the choice between cotton or microfiber also comes down to personal preference. It’s all about what feels good to you!
The biggest pro of choosing a microfiber comforter is its high durability. The fabric is less likely to fade, thin, or shrink after many washes. Plus, it tends to be less expensive, providing great value if you’re on a budget. However, microfiber can sometimes be too warm for those who are hot sleepers, so if this is you, be sure to look for microfiber comforters that are lightweight.
If you’re in need of a new top-of-bed blanket or comforter, take a look at our selection of lightweight and exceptionally soft Lux collection blankets/coverlets: our gorgeous 3-piece quilted Amelia set, our Matisse, and our Diamond.
Our luxury cotton blankets/coverlets include the beautiful Del Mar, Torrey, and Laguna.
Cotton vs. Microfiber Pillows
There’s no doubt that what you rest your head on is critical to a quality sleep experience, making pillows just as important when deciding between cotton and microfiber for your bedding.
A cotton-covered pillow, like our Revive Memory Fiber Pillow, is the perfect way to enjoy the benefits of breathability, cool airflow, and natural moisture-wicking ability. Our pillow is made with a 100%-cotton, 300-thread count cover, and it has a unique spring-shaped spiral memory fiber fill that provides foam-like comfort with medium support.
Our microfiber pillow selection includes two down alternative pillow choices: Renew Hybrid and Revitalize Thermo Regulating:
Cotton vs. Microfiber Towels
When it comes to towels, we believe there’s really nothing that compares to 100% cotton, which is why we’ve chosen cotton throughout our premium towel range. Having natural, premium-made cotton towels means you’ll enjoy superior softness, absorption, and quality that will last for many years to come.
