๐ฆ How to Tell the Difference Between 100% Cotton and Polyester
Not sure what your bedding is made of? Here are a few simple ways to spot the difference.
๐ฟ 1. Feel the fabric โ๏ธ Cotton feels soft, natural and breathable. โ Polyester often feels smoother, silkier or slightly plastic-like.
๐ง 2. Water absorption โ๏ธ Cotton absorbs water quickly. โ Polyester repels water, so droplets tend to sit on the surface before soaking in.
โจ 3. Appearance โ๏ธ Cotton has a natural matte finish. โ Polyester usually has a slight shine or glossy appearance.
๐ฌ๏ธ 4. Breathability โ๏ธ Cotton allows air to circulate, helping you stay cool and comfortable. โ Polyester traps more heat and moisture.
๐งบ 5. After washing โ๏ธ Cotton becomes softer over time. โ Polyester keeps the same texture and may retain odours more easily.
๐ At Sweet Dreams by Vero, we choose 100% cotton because quality, comfort and breathability matter.
