How to pick that five-star hotel luxury beddings for your bed
In brief, fabrics for bedding use in five-star hotels.
Bamboo Linen is a combination of bamboo viscose and flax fibres.
The benefits of Bamboo Linen that it is highly absorbed, silky and soft.
Silk is a natural fibre made of the filaments of the cocoon of silkworms (Bombyx Moris). 100% Silk is expensive but nevertheless the most desirable fabric.
Satin looks like Silk, but it isn’t. The weaving creates that silky lustre on top, with a matte finish on the other side.
To create the same properties as Silk, they mimic this by using Man-made fibres. Polyester and Nylon are resistant to abrasion, and it is durable as well.
That’s why they are using Nylon threads to equal a lustrous and silky look and feel. Same look different experience as Silk.
Sateen combines both Natural and Man-Made fibres or just 100% Extra Long Staple Cotton (ELS). The most common combination is Cotton with Rayon.
Sateen weaving is tighter and a little thicker, making it ideal for the winter months to snuggle in bed. Sateen and Satin are shiny on one side with matte underlay.
The same as Sateen and Satin is the weaving of treads that generate a certain fabric. This also applies to Percale beddings.
Percale is desirable because of its high-quality Cotton use. Most Percale is made of Egyptian Cotton or Extra-Long-Staple (ELS) Cotton. An effect is a plane and fine weave with a matte and crisp finish.
Egyptian Cotton is an (ELS) Extra-Long-Staple Cotton. The fibres are thinner; that’s why it doesn’t pill. Egyptian Cotton is one of the most luxurious fabrics on the market.
Supima / Pima Cotton is a Long Staple Cotton. The tread counts make Supima more solid, but it blossoms into a delicate and soft fabric over time.
Pima Cotton is beneficial for warm seasons; it has excellent breathability properties. Egyptian Cotton categories under the luxurious fabric. So is Superior Pima / Supima / Pima Cotton.
So there are various options in bedding that give your bed that luxurious look. But it all depends on your personal preference.
