Brushed Cotton Bedding Sets.

Brushed cotton is the natural fibre fabric that you know and love, but it’s been taken up a notch by a particular finishing technique, brushing. A fine-tooth metal brush is rubbed over one or both sides of the cotton,  fluffing the fibres. It’s luxuriously soft and warm, but because it’s cotton, it’s still breathable. This process makes brushed cotton bedding ideal all year round, but especially in winter when the weather is cooler and you want a snuggly feel.

It’s used for casual clothes, baby blankets, and of course, bedding. Because it’s so soft, it can be ideal for people with skin sensitivities like eczema too. 

how to wash brushed cotton bedding.

Brushed cotton bedding is at risk from bobbling or pilling, which is when the fibres in the fabric break apart and knot together. However, with proper care it’s easily avoided.

First, make sure you’re spot cleaning stains as they happen, or pre-treating them before you pop them in the washing machine. That way you don’t have to use an aggressive wash cycle.

Secondly, make sure you’re washing your sheets on a regular basis. Your brushed cotton will come into contact with dirt and oil naturally as you use them, which can cause damage over time. Get them in the wash regularly and it won’t build up.

When you do wash your sheets, make sure that you’re washing like with like – bunging your sheets in with clothes that have zips and other hardware can catch and rub on your brushed cotton bedding, which can cause it to bobble.

Wash your bedding on a gentle cycle, and ideally air dry.
