    Thank you I got confused with choosing a microfiber sheet vs cotton for an hour in the shop. The pros and cons are clearly laid out. I will most likely go for cotton but the benefits of microfiber is promising too 👍.

    I love the feeling of silky it’s so soooo soft and warm to the touch but it makes me hot and sweat. What is as soft and lovely as microfibre but more breathable. I find cotton too crispy if that makes sense

    I only use 100% cotton for my bedding. I just got my new black 100% cotton blanket today. I got it to replace one made from polyester. Now, I need to find a cotton mattress cover.
    IMO Cotton is hands down better than microfiber. My opinion is based on the fact cotton has been used in garments for centuries, microfiber since the 1960's. AND microfiber is made from human made chemical and petroleum products which can cause hives on my skin among other allergies. Pollution is much worse with petroleum products. Yes, cotton does use more water, but it absorbs more water 😃

  • @SantanuMandal0917028357135

    Only concern is price. If you have money to purchase cotton or any kinld of natural fiber, Never ever purchase any polistar or microfiber cloths or anything.

    • @sleepinglucidnow
      @sleepinglucidnow  Před 4 lety +1

      You're right - natural fibers are better than synthetic but synthetic materials are cheaper.

    Is microfibre sometimes ALSO polyester and can microfibres cause breathing problems due to microfibres being shed from the blanket into the air?

    Very helpful! I think I discovered I'm allergic to polyester. I'm having reactions to nearly every comforter I can find. It's very hard to find 100% cotton (plus cotton fill). So many of them may be made of cotton and yet still have polyester filling, which I am still reacting to. Do you have any recommendations for 100% cotton comforters with cotton fill?

    • @Stray1988
      @Stray1988 Před 3 lety +1

      You could go goose down/feather comforter. Better than cotton fill and still natural. Prices are pretty decent too, Costco sells a fairly cheap one

    I bought an entire set of "microfiber" sheets, pillowcases, and a blanket from Target to replace the sheets in my furnished apartment, and my god, I had the absolute worst reaction. Even after washing, I woke up feeling like I was gagging and felt I had fabric fibers in my mouth and throat. Tossed them out, and went with 100% cotton. Microfiber fabric is Evil.

    Can microfiber cause you too overheat

    • @sleepinglucidnow
      @sleepinglucidnow  Před 3 lety +3

      Yes. Microfiber is a synthetic material and not as breathable as cotton, bamboo, silk, and other natural materials.
