The difference between chemical fiber quilt cover and cotton quilt cover

Chemical fiber quilt cover and cotton quilt cover difference

Chemical fiber quilt cover and cotton quilt cover difference, chemical fiber quilt fiber composition is usually polyester, there are some modified fibers, cotton as a traditional natural warmth material, affordable, skin-friendly, suitable for young and old, the following look at the chemical fiber quilt cover and cotton quilt cover difference.

The difference between chemical fiber quilt cover and cotton quilt cover 1

In most people's minds, cotton is only absorbent, as long as it is involved in buying clothes to buy quilts and so on, the first fabric of choice is cotton. In contrast, the chemical fiber fabrics are not so much to see.

Cotton fabrics and chemical fiber fabrics between the PK has never stopped, in fact, over the years, the fabric material of the clothes has been a lot of process improvements. Today we will tell you: chemical fiber clothes, in fact, not as bad as you think, and even in some aspects, but also far better than cotton!

How is the truth?

Just look at the original characteristics of the fiber, cotton is really very skin-friendly

The first factor that affects "skin-friendly" is that the fabric should be hygroscopic, and hygroscopicity can be referenced to the "male moisture retention rate" of the fiber. The higher the moisture retention, the better the wicking.

Because human skin needs to be moist to be comfortable, for example, in winter dryness, we need to wipe oil, and the same with clothes, the higher the nominal moisture retention rate of the fabric, the more moisture can be absorbed in the air, and the more comfortable the skin is in contact with it.

Just look at the initial state of the moisture return rate, indeed verified everyone's impression: cotton, silk moisture absorption is relatively strong, to be better than polyester and other chemical fibers skin-friendly. (But viscose as a chemical fiber, the moisture return rate is not bad oh)

But after processing, chemical fiber skin-friendly is just as good

With the rapid development of textile technology, we are now completely through a more diverse range of clothing processing and finishing methods, to enhance the chemical fiber moisture return rate and other indicators, so that their skin-friendly more and more better, and even more than cotton.

This is due to the biggest feature of chemical fiber - very strong processability, from synthetic formulations to spinning preparation to dyeing and finishing, can change the nature of our needs to provide a variety of functions.

For example, a few decades ago, the traditional polyester is not hydrophilic plastic thread, but the modern textile industry can be synthesized in the polyester when the introduction of hydrophilic chemical groups, to improve its hygroscopicity; polyester acrylic fibers themselves are prone to static electricity, but the regular manufacturers will be doing antistatic finishing, additional cost is not high, and the effect is immediately visible; can also be used in spinning the false-twist distortion filament process, so that the original The polyester has become fluffy and elastic with no obvious elasticity.

That is, if you just look at the fiber composition of modern textiles, is not fully reflect the fabric skin-friendly features. Cotton is skin-friendly, as are chemical fibers.

When you sweat a lot, chemical fibers are actually better than cotton

Cotton is indeed breathable, moisture-absorbent, and cool, but there's a caveat to that: you don't sweat a lot, and it's all good.

When there is more sweat, for example during exercise or when the weather is very hot, the biggest drawback of cotton is revealed: the moisture conductivity is very poor, and it is very difficult for sweat to evaporate.

Because cotton fibers in contact with a large amount of water will absorb moisture expansion, coupled with the barrier of sweat, the original can be breathable pore blocked, breathability is not good.

If you wear a cotton T-shirt basketball, soccer, or other strenuous exercise, it should be experienced: sweat a lot, the clothes will stick to the skin, the body is not good instantly exposed not to say, but also sticky, rubbing who invites who annoyed.

Cotton fibers have a hollow structure, like a straw, moisture sucked in and then it is difficult to evaporate out.

In contrast, chemical fibers can be spun using shaped spinnerets, spinning out shaped fibers, the surface of such fibers have grooves, which can improve the moisture conductivity and accelerate the sweat out.

Like a road with many of its own drains, sweat does not enter the fiber, but drains directly from between the pores of the fiber, the surface of the fiber.

These shaped fibers have a variety of surface grooves that make it easy to drain water.

More advanced chemical fiber fabrics can also be "one-sided".

That is to say, the water will only flow from the surface of the skin to the surface of the clothes, but will not stay at the skin. Even if you splash water on the surface, no water will flow from the surface to the skin.

If you exercise a lot and love to sweat, chemical fiber is actually a better choice for you than cotton.

Fabric Knowledge Explained

Yarn Count and Density Yarn count: refers to the degree of thickness of the yarn, the length of 1 gram of weight of the yarn is known as the yarn count. For example, 1 gram of yarn made into 30 meters long, then it is said to be 30 count, or 30S; Density: refers to the total number of warp and weft yarns arranged in each square inch (2.54 * 2.54 square centimeters). For example, 12868 or 128 * 68, that is, 1 square inch of 128 warp yarns, 68 weft yarns, density = 128 + 68 = 196. the quality of the fabric lies in the density of the number of yarns and warp and weft density is usually spoken of, the finer the yarn, the higher the density, relatively speaking, the better the firmness, the better the quality of the fabric.

High-count and high-density high-count: refers to the fabric yarn count ≥ 40; high density: refers to the fabric unit square inch within the warp and weft yarn sum ≥ 180. (The concept of yarn, density has been introduced yesterday!) Width: refers to the effective width of the fabric, the fabric transverse to the two outermost edge of the warp yarns between the ` width. What does 110〃 60×40 / 173×120 mean? Description: a . 110 〃 is the fabric width, 110 inches (110 × 2.54 = 279.4cm); b . 60 × 40 refers to the fabric yarn, the warp yarn is 60s yarn, the weft yarn is 40s yarn; c . 173 × 120 refers to the density of the fabric, the first figure refers to the warp density of 173 / inch, the second figure refers to the density of the weft yarn of 120 / inch.

Fabric organization The most basic fabric organization classification includes three types of organizations, namely, plain weave, twill, and satin. Plain organization: by the warp and weft yarns of a top and bottom interwoven, the fabric is strong and solid, but hard feel, front and back of the same visual. Twill organization: the warp organization point (or weft organization point) continuous into a slanting line, constituting a slanting grain. The warp and weft yarns are interwoven at least once every two yarns. There are positive and negative points, feel loose, twill fabric products thick.

Satin organization: separate, discontinuous points of the warp organization (or weft organization) regular, uniform distribution. Warp and weft yarns are interwoven at least every three. Because of the long floating threads, it is easy to wear, but the texture is soft, the fabric is smooth, and the luster is also high.

Introduction to the cloth plain cloth: first woven and then dyed called plain, generally a single color. Color woven cloth: first dyeing and then weaving is called color weaving, you can get fine straight stripes, plaid pattern, due to the first dyeing yarn, so the color fastness is high. Printed fabric: common printing is, after printing with water-soluble reactive dyes color paste made of transfer printing flower paper , by applying a certain pressure, the dyes will be transferred to the fabric, strong color fastness, excellent texture.

Jacquard: refers to the fabric weaving through the changes in the warp and weft organization to form the pattern. There are monochrome printing, color printing. Jacquard fabric texture is soft, drape, good gloss, and is not easy to fade. Divided into large jacquard and small jacquard, large jacquard pattern is generally flowers and a variety of patterned graphics, and small jacquard is limited to weaving strips and plaids and other geometric pattern.

Fiber fineness Fiber fineness is used to indicate the degree of thickness of the fiber. Fiber fineness and its discrete degree of fiber strength, elongation, rigidity, elasticity and deformation of the uniformity, but also affects the feel of the fabric, style, and yarn and fabric processing. Yarn, textile fiber fineness are expressed in special (tex), that is, l000 meters (m) long yarn weighs how many grams, that is, for how many tex (tex). Chemical fiber filament and silk fiber fineness is generally expressed in D, that is, 9000 meters (m) long yarn weighs how many grams, that is, for how many denier (den).

"D" number the lower the fiber length and fineness, the better the warmth, fluffiness, thickness, the better, 7D or less filling cotton is the best. Hair-type chemical fiber: the length and fineness of the fiber with the wool fiber, length 76-102mm, fineness 0.33-0.55t. Cotton chemical fiber: fiber length and fineness with cotton fiber, length 33-38mm, fineness 0.132-0.165 special. Medium-length chemical fiber: the length and fineness of the fiber between the wool type and cotton type, length 51-76mm, fineness 0.22-0.33 special.

Chemical fiber quilt cover and cotton quilt cover difference 3

Want to buy a quilt how to choose

(1) Cotton quilts - the most common quilts

Cotton quilts, as the most common quilts, it is generally filled with cotton.

The product standard implemented is GB/T 22796-2009 "quilt, quilt cover". This standard applies to quilt and quilt cover products with woven fabrics as the face and lining, and flocculent fiber as the filler (excluding down and pure silk).

Advantages:

Cotton, as a traditional natural warmth material, is often preferred by the general public because it is affordable, skin-friendly, and suitable for both young and old.

Disadvantages:

In order to achieve better warmth, it is usually necessary to increase the amount of cotton filling, so it is heavier, which can make the human body feel oppressed when sleeping.

(2) chemical fiber quilt - the best deal on the quilt

Chemical fiber quilt fiber composition is usually polyester, there are also some modified fibers, such as soy protein fiber (protein-modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber), milk protein modified polyacrylonitrile fiber.

Among them, polyester fiber can be divided into ordinary solid, single hole, seven holes and so on according to the morphological characteristics. (The more holes in the fiber, the better the warmth)

(3) down comforter - the lightest comforter

Down comforter filler components for 100% down feathers, and down content ≥ 50% of the comforter products can be called down comforter.

The product standard is QB/T 1193-2012 "Down feather quilt". This standard applies to down feathers as the main filler, and a variety of textile fabrics for the shell of the down feather quilt.

Down feather comforter filler is divided into goose feather and duck feather duck down, of which goose down is better than duck down. But whichever type of duvet it is, the main quality indicator is the down content, the higher the down content, the better the warmth.

Advantages:

Not only light weight, soft texture, high fluffiness, excellent heat preservation, and due to the down ball-shaped fibers are densely covered with millions of triangular-shaped tiny pores, can be contracted and expanded with the temperature change, so that a certain degree of thermoregulation, can be absorbed by the human body to disseminate the flow of heat, to isolate the outside world of the invasion of cold air.

Disadvantages:

Expensive! Down comforter generally use coated high-density chemical fiber fabrics for the surface, so in the autumn and winter dry season, easy to produce static electricity; if the quality of workmanship is poor, there will be drilling phenomenon; poor resistance to insects and mildew resistance, you need to keep cool and dry, well ventilated, pay attention to anti-moth-eaten and anti-mildew when storing.

(4) wool, cashmere quilt - the least deformation of the quilt

Wool quilt refers to the internal filling of wool quilt: 50% and more wool quilt was wool; 100% wool quilt for pure wool. Cashmere quilt refers to the quilt filled with cashmere: quilt containing 30% or more of cashmere is cashmere; 95% or more of cashmere is pure cashmere quilt.

The implementation of the product standard GB/T 32605-2016 "wool, cashmere quilt", this standard applies to pure wool, pure cashmere or wool, cashmere and other fibers mixed with the filler as raw materials, by the production of the tire and and tire cover quilted (including machine sewing and hand sewing nails) made of wool, cashmere quilt.

Advantages:

Wool (fleece) not only has excellent drape, warmth and skin friendliness, but also fluffy and soft, no knot, moisture absorption and moisture removal ability is also very strong, especially for those who love to kick the quilt or sleep easily sweaty people. In addition, wool (fleece) dust resistance, antibacterial mites, and more importantly, natural flame retardant, safe and reliable.

Disadvantages:

Wool (velvet) quilt texture is hard, easy to absorb moisture. Like silk quilt, poor resistance to moth and mildew, when stored need to keep cool and dry, well ventilated, pay attention to moth and mildew.

(5) Silk quilt - the most skin-friendly quilt

Silk quilt filler containing 50% silk and above quilt products.

The implementation of the product standard GB/T 24252-2019 "Silk quilt", this standard applies to the mulberry silk cotton, quercus serrata silk cotton as the main raw material, by the production of the tire and and the tire set fixed (including machine sewing and hand sewing) made of silk quilt.

Silk quilt is divided into two kinds of mulberry silk and quercus silk, of which mulberry silk is better than quercus silk. Consumers need to pay attention when buying, according to the length of the silk can be divided into long silk, medium-length silk, short silk and silk silk.

Advantages:

Silk is a natural filament fiber, known as the "Queen of Fibers", rich in amino acids, so the best skin-friendly. It is a good choice for people with allergies, as it is moisture-absorbent and breathable, as well as anti-mite and anti-bacterial.

Disadvantages:

Expensive, not friction-resistant, poor fluffiness; poor resistance to insects and mildew, and need to be stored in a moisture-proof, mildew-proof, light-proof, and anti-heavy pressure.
