Advantages of cotton quilt cover

1. Hygroscopicity

Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal conditions, the fiber can absorb water into the surrounding atmosphere, and its moisture content is 8-10%, so it contacts human skin and makes people feel soft and not stiff.

If the humidity of the cotton cloth increases and the ambient temperature is high, the water content in the fiber will all evaporate, so that the fabric maintains a water balance state, which makes people feel comfortable.

2. Moisture retention

Since cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the heat transfer coefficient is extremely low, and because the cotton fiber itself has the advantages of porosity and high elasticity, a large amount of air can be accumulated between the fibers.

Air is also a poor conductor of heat and electricity, so pure cotton fiber textiles have a good moisturizing type, and wearing cotton fabrics makes people feel warm.

3. Heat resistance

Pure cotton fabrics have good heat resistance. When the temperature is below 110 °C, it will only cause the water on the fabric to evaporate without damaging the fibers. Therefore, the cotton fabric is not affected by the wearing, washing and dyeing at room temperature, thereby improving the washing and wearing resistance of the cotton fabric.

4. Hygiene

Cotton fiber is a natural fiber whose main component is cellulose, as well as a small amount of waxy substance and nitrogen and pectin. After many aspects of inspection and practice, the fabric is in contact with the skin without any stimulation, no side effects, long-term wear is beneficial to the human body, and the hygienic performance is good.

The cotton fabric of the cotton is straight and short, evenly distributed, and there are few fibers that are bent long, so that the cotton content is high.
