3. What is microfiber and why does it out
perform cotton?
Microfiber sheets are really popular these days and
for all the good reasons.
Described to be hundred times thinner than a single
strand of human hair and ten times finer than silk;
microfibers are extremely fine compared to that of a
cotton strand, Polyester is a lyophilic polymer or has
affinity to oil that allows oil to cling directly to the
fibers fast.

4. Soft and comfortable

5.  In terms of durability, microfiber out performs cotton because
of its admirable polyester and polyamide fibers that are
strong, it’s resistance to stretching and shrinking that
guarantees shape retention.
 Moreover, it is resistant to most chemicals, retains heat-set
pleats and crease, and is easily washed even only with clear
water or mild soapy water. In comparison to cotton, a
microfiber will absorb 98% moisture, while cotton can only
absorb at best 70%.

6. Another great advantage of microfiber
sheets is that the fibers here won’t allow
the allergens to enter inside preventing
any possibility of allergies

7.  Microfiber sheets come up in a variety of designs
enabling you to choose as per your preferred taste. Last
but not the least, the microfiber sheets are really
comfortable and would regulate the body temperature
keeping you warm in the chilly months.
