7 Types of Bed Sheets For Every Sleeping Type

1.COTTON

Your t-shirts are made out of it, cotton candy is named after it, and it’s the most common material used to make bed sheets. It’s breathable, forgiving when removing stains (adios blood stains), and stays cool. Cotton sheets also soften up with time and washes while maintaining their durability.

When choosing these types of sheets, however, be aware that the type of cotton matters, as some outperform others.

A few manufacturers turn bunches of cotton conveyed to the maker. Others buy the yarn as of now spun on spools. This segment will depict the way toward making 100% sheeting from bundles of cotton conveyed to the plant which are not yet spun. The below mentioned are the manufacturing process of Bed sheet.

.Egyptian

WHAT IS EGYPTIAN COTTON?

Egyptian cotton is well known for the utmost quality plant based fiber. It is grown-up for long fibers naturally range from 1.5 to 2 Inches Extra long staple. It is light weighted, durable, soft and extensively use all over the world. The Egyptian cotton is so superior because of exclusive weather in Egypt.

The Egyptian cotton is carefully picked from hands; this process put less stress on the fiber than using large equipment. That is the only way to make sure that the cotton keeps its excellent softness, and supreme strength. We think that the extra time and attempt is absolutely worth it to make sure you’ll get comfortable cotton sheets that you’ll love for long time.

Egyptian cotton sheets are amongst the best, whenever this cotton is twisted, it delivers the long and strongest fibers. The sheets produced using Egyptian cotton is additionally more permeable than other cotton yarns, a useful feature because the fabric act as a wick and remove perspiration from your body, making you experience drier and cooler.

TOP REASONS TO BUY EGYPTIAN COTTON SHEETS

1. THREAD COUNT:-

While you are buying Egyptian cotton sheets, you can check the thread count. By choosing higher thread count, the superior quality sheets you will get. If you choose a set of top-quality sheets, you’ll have some soft sheets available. Many people discover that shifting the Egyptian cotton sheets completely changes their sleeping experience and makes the bed a lovely and comfortable experience.

You can get Egyptian cotton bedcovers with thread counts up-to 1000 threads per square inches. Also, remember the part of these threads being stronger? It means that the fabric made of these threads can last longer, convert the bedsheets that bought on an investment.

2. DURABILITY:-

If you take appropriate care of them they will last for many years. Regular fabric sheets are uncomfortable and feel rough to the skin. Egyptian cotton sheets are not like this and feel very soft, therefore they are a better choice for rest and relaxation. They enhance sleeping experience unlike other sheets that do not do this. A large part of our lives is spent sleeping because your body needs to rest and recover from activity. In order to have a quality sleep, it is crucial to have comfort. Egyptian cotton made sheets are the excellent solution for this.

3. SOFT & COMFORTABLE:-

Egyptian cotton materials are soft & comfortable because their cotton fibers are longer than regular cotton. The longer fibers make stronger material to create sheets from. The stitching is well-built so it will not rip like some other fibers and fabrics do. Fine yarns can only be made from this type of soft and long cotton. Since the material is fine, the bed sheets are last longer than those made from other fabrics and in addition much softer also. This type of material can also color without any difficulty.

Egyptian cotton sheets are last for long time because of their quality and are very comfortable. Even if you’ll have to replace your mattress and furniture in time, these sheets will not need replacement. By choosing the right type of sheets, you can add comfort, a proper sleep and a fit body to the list of profit.

4. WORTH INVESTMENT FOR LONG TERM:-

Egyptian cotton sheets of top quality have a higher price than regular sheets. You should know that these bed sheets are a good asset and the extra money you spend, will be a worth investment. Do not make the error of choosing low quality Egyptian cotton sheets. If you are spending the extra money on these high quality sheets, be sure to get a great set to last a long time and really pay as an investment. While you will have to spend a little more straight you will find that they will surely pay off in the long run if you do invest.

Pima

Pima cotton comes from the same plant as Egyptian cotton, but is grown in America with slightly shorter fibers. Pima cotton features superior softness, long-lasting strength a lustrous shine. A Pima cotton weave produces a comfortable breathability, making this sheet set ideal for every season. LOVE these sheets!

Pima cotton is considered a better, higher-end form of cotton. Work on its cultivation is recorded as far back as the 1790’s, but Pima cottons’ roots can be traced back to the area between southern Ecuador and northern Peru. In the United States, it became a focus of growers in the Sea Islands of South Carolina where, during the 1800’s, there was substantial experimentation with stains of Egyptian cotton and Gossypium barbadense. The results were an extra-long fiber cotton that was stronger, softer, and more durable than regular cotton.

This cotton is now world renowned and is said to rival even silk, thus the adjective silky smooth, that is so often applied to Pima cotton. It is considered better than the best egyptian cotton and is grown only in select parts of the world. Current cultivation is taking place in the southwest United States in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and the US is a major exporter of Pima cotton. It is also grown in Peru, which produces the coveted Peruvian Pima Cotton, and in Australia. It accounts for only a small percentage of all the cotton grown in the world.

These sheets are made from 100% long-staple pima cotton yarns for a luxurious, extra-smooth feel that is sure to improve your sleep. They are smooth, crisp, soft, and enveloping with a 280 thread count The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified against the Standard 100 toxic chemicals for a healthy night’s sleep. The set comes with a flat sheet and a fitted sheet that has a 15” deep pocket, and 1-2 pillowcases depending on the sheet size.

Upland

With a lower quality than both Pima and Egyptian, this short-staple cotton is the most common variety you’ll find. Labels that read “100% cotton” are typically Upland, and while still fairly durable, aren’t nearly as soft as other types.

Flannel

Much like a lumberjack’s staple flannel button-up, the cotton in these bed sheets has been shredded and the individual yarns have been shaved to release fibers for a thicker, fuzzier feel.

The plain or twill weave of flannel sheets also makes them soft and pliant — all the more reason to use them in colder weather.

Jersey

Imagine your favorite stretchy t-shirt as a sheet and you’ll be picturing jersey sheets perfectly. This type of cotton comes soft and ready to be used. While these sheets are easy to clean, they pill with age and aren’t very lavish, and due to their pliable nature, they tend to easily stretch out with time and are less durable than other cotton sheets.

2. Bamboo

As an environmentally friendly material, bamboo grows quickly and is commonly used to make other household goods aside from bed sheets. The process of making bamboo sheets entails extracting bamboo cellulose and weaving the fibers into what’s called bamboo rayon.

These jungle plant sheets are softer than polyester or linen and are known to be wrinkle-resistant. Aside from this, bamboo sheets are durable, hypoallergenic, and breathable.

3. Polyester

Most pure polyester sheets are rough, while polyester blends tend to be much softer and provide a higher level of comfort. These sheets are easy to wash, wrinkle-resistant, and often quite affordable. If you’re looking for sheets you don’t need to steam or iron, polyester will be your best friend.

However, despite its pros — including the inherent water-resistance — polyester absorbs oil and grease and will leave you with the nightmare of trying to remove stains, particularly with white sheets

Polyester is a synthetic fiber derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory, polyester fibers are formed from a chemical reaction between an acid and alcohol. In this reaction, two or more molecules combine to make a large molecule whose structure repeats throughout its length. Polyester fibers can form very iong molecules that are very stable and strong.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings, industrial fabrics, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation. Polyester has several advantages over traditional fabrics such as cotton. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil; this quality makes polyester the perfect fabric for the application of water-, soil-, and fire-resistant finishes. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains. Polyester clothing can be preshrunk in the finishing process, and thereafter the fabric resists shrinking and will not stretch out of shape. The fabric is easily dyeable, and not damaged by mildew. Textured polyester fibers are an effective, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags

Raw Materials

Polyester is a chemical term which can be broken into poly, meaning many, and ester, a basic organic chemical compound. The principle ingredient used in the manufacture of polyester is ethylene, which is derived from petroleum. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester, and the chemical process that produces the finished polyester is called polymerization.

The Manufacturing Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods. The one used depends on the form the finished polyester will take. The four basic forms are filament, staple, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form, each individual strand of polyester fiber is continuous in length, producing smooth-surfaced fabrics. In staple form, filaments are cut to short, predetermined lengths. In this form polyester is easier to blend with other fibers. Tow is a form in which continuous filaments are drawn loosely together. Fiberfill is the voluminous form used in the manufacture of quilts, pillows, and outerwear. The two forms used most frequently are filament and staple.

Manufacturing Filament Yarn

Polymerization

1 To form polyester, dimethyl terephthalate is first reacted with ethylene glycol in the presence of a catalyst at a temperature of 302-410°F (150-210°C).
2 The resulting chemical, a monomer (single, non-repeating molecule) alcohol, is combined with terephthalic acid and raised to a temperature of 472°F (280°C). Newly-formed polyester, which is clear and molten, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization, the long molten ribbons are allowed to cool until they become brittle. The material is cut into tiny chips and completely dried to prevent irregularities in consistency.

Melt spinning

4 Polymer chips are melted at 500-518°F (260-270°C) to form a syrup-like solution. The solution is put in a metal container called a spinneret and forced through its tiny holes, which are usually round, but may be pentagonal or any other shape to produce special fibers. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn, as the emerging fibers are brought together to form a single strand.
5 At the spinning stage, other chemicals may be added to the solution to make the resulting material flame retardant, antistatic, or easier to dye.

Drawing the fiber

6 When polyester emerges from the spinneret, it is soft and easily elongated up to five times its original length. The stretching forces the random polyester molecules to align in a parallel formation. This increases the strength, tenacity, and resilience of the fiber. This time, when the filaments dry, the fibers become solid and strong instead of brittle.
7 Drawn fibers may vary greatly in diameter and length, depending on the characteristics desired of the finished material. Also, as the fibers are drawn, they may be textured or twisted to create softer or duller fabrics.

Winding

8 After the polyester yarn is drawn, it is wound on large bobbins or flat-wound packages, ready to be woven into material.

4. Linen

These airy sheets will give your home all the country feels in no time. Hot sleepers and those with allergies greatly benefit from them as linen is a naturally cooling, hypoallergenic material.

While these sheets may seem ideal, their stiffness is sometimes a downfall. This does lighten up with time and washes, but they never quite reach cotton’s dreamy softness.

Linen yarn is spun from the long fibers found just behind the bark in the multi-layer stem of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). In order to retrieve the fibers from the plant, the woody stem and the inner pith (called pectin), which holds the fibers together in a clump, must be rotted away. The cellulose fiber from the stem is spinnable and is used in the production of linen thread, cordage, and twine. From linen thread or yarn, fine toweling and dress fabrics may be woven. Linen fabric is a popular choice for warm-weather clothing. It feels cool in the summer but appears crisp and fresh even in hot weather. Household linens truly made of linen become more supple and soft to the touch with use; thus, linen was once the bedsheet of choice.

While the flax plant is not difficult to grow, it flourishes best in cool, humid climates and within moist, well-plowed soil. The process for separating the flax fibers from the plant’s woody stock is laborious and painstaking and must be done in an area where labor is plentiful and relatively inexpensive. It is remarkable that while there is some mechanization to parts of the fiber preparation, some fiber preparation is still done by hand as it has been for centuries. This may be due to the care that must be taken with the fragile flax fibers inside the woody stalk, which might be adversely affected by mechanized processing.

Flax remains under cultivation for linen fiber in a number of countries including Poland, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the British Isles. However, the grade of fiber the plants yield in different parts of the world varies. Many believe that Belgium grows the finest-quality flax fibers in the world, with Scottish and Irish linen not far behind. There is no commercial production of linen fabric in any significant quantity in the United States except, perhaps, by individual hand spinners and hand weavers. Thus, the linen fabrics Americans use and wear are nearly all imported into the country from one of these flax-growing and weaving countries.

Both wool and linen were tremendously important fibers in the New World. Relatively easy to grow, American settlers were urged to plant a small plot of flax as early as the seventeenth century. While flax is easy to grow, settlers knew all too well the tedious chore of processing the woody stalks for its supple linen. Before the industrial revolution much sturdy, homemade clothing was woven from linen cultivated, processed, spun, dyed, woven, and sewn by hand. It may be argued that until the eighteenth century, linen was the most important textile in the world.

By the late eighteenth century, cotton became the fiber that was most easily and inexpensively processed and woven in the mechanized British and New England textile mills. By the 1850s, linen production had virtually been abandoned in the United States because it was so much cheaper to buy the factory-made cotton. Some New Englanders of Scot or Irish background continued to cultivate some flax for processing into linen used for fancy domestic linens such as bedsheets, toweling, and decorative tableclothes as their ancestors had for centuries. However, most Americans abandoned the cultivation of the plant in this country and instead chose cheap cotton that was carded, spun, woven, and roller-printed for just pennies a yard. Thereafter and until recently, a different variety of flax plant was raised in this country not for its linen fibers but for its seeds which exude a useful vegetable oil known as linseed oil when pressed.

The Manufacturing Process of Bed Linens

Normally, there are different processes such as spinning the bales of cotton that are delivered to the manufacturers or buying the yarn that is already spun on spools. However, this section includes the process of manufacturing sheeting from bales of cotton. Bear in the mind that the bales of cotton used in the below-mentioned process are not yet spun.

Here is how the process of manufacturing bed linen goes:

Step 1:Acquiring the cotton

Step 2:Mixing the cotton

Step 3:Carding the cotton

Step 4:Drawing, Testing, and Rowing

Step 5:Spinning the cotton

Step 6:Distorting a section beam

Step 7:Slashing

Step 8:Weaving

Step 9:Overall cleaning and bleaching process

Step 10:Dyeing

Step 11:Cutting

Step 12:Sewing

Step 13:Packaging the final product

5. Silk

Silk is a natural fiber produced by silkworms and because it needs such delicate care in the production process, it tends to be a pricier option. Aside from the price, silk sheets are naturally hypoallergenic, but care and maintenance tend to be laborious.

Despite the cons, silk sheets are cool, rich, and perfect for adding more romance to a room.

While there are now a huge variety of different types of insects used to produce silk, the most commonly used species is the larvae of ‘Bombyx mori’ – (the caterpillar of the domestic silkmoth). These incredible silkworms produce one of the most highly sought after materials with a plethora of excellent properties.

While silk is lustrous and lightweight, it’s also impressively strong, with one filament of silk being stronger than a comparable filament of steel.

Here is a step-by-step guide to the fascinating process in which silk is produced…

1. Sericulture

This is the term used to describe the process of gathering the silkworms and harvesting the cocoon to collect the materials.

Female silkmoths lay anything from around 300 – 500 eggs at any one time. These eggs eventually hatch to form silkworms, which are incubated in a controlled environment until they hatch into larvae (caterpillars).

The silkworms feed continually on a huge amount of mulberry leaves to encourage growth. It takes around 6 weeks to grow to their full potential (about 3 inches). At this time, they’ll stop eating and begin to raise their heads – that’s when they’re ready to spin their cocoon.

Attached to a secure frame or tree, the silkworm will begin spinning its silk cocoon by rotating its body in a figure-8 movement around 300,000 times – a process which takes around 3 to 8 days. Each silkworm produces just one single strand of silk, which measures about 100 metres long and is held together by a type of natural gum, called sericin.

2. Thread extraction

Once the silkworms have spun their cocoon, they will eventually enclose themselves inside it and then it’s time to extract the silk threads.

The cocoons are placed into boiling water in order to soften and dissolve the gum that is holding the cocoon together. This is a crucial step in the silk production process as it ensures that there is no damage to the continuity of each thread.

Each thread is then carefully reeled from the cocoon in individual long threads, which are then wound on a reel. Some of the sericin may still remain on the threads to protect the fibres during processing, but this is usually washed out with soap and boiling water.

3. Dyeing

When the silk threads have been washed and degummed, they will be bleached and dried before the dyeing process commences.

Traditional silk dyeing techniques take the dyes from natural resources found in the surrounding environment, such as fruit or indigo plant leaves. The threads will be soaked together in bundles, inside a pot of hot indigo leaves and water. This process will occur multiple times over a span of days to ensure proper colour tone and quality.

However, these traditional dyeing methods have almost become extinct in the commercial manufacturing of silk. Advances in technology mean that manufacturers instead opt for using various dyes such as acid dyes or reactive dyes. This gives a greater range of choice in colours and shades to be able to serve wider demand.

That being said, the general idea behind the technique remains similar as the silk is immersed in a dye bath to soak up the colour. The silk may be fed into the bath through two cylinders, or fixed to a round jig which is immersed in the bath.

In many cases, this will be one of the last steps of the processes as manufacturers generally now prefer piece-dyeing in an attempt to reduce waste. By holding plain white stock ready to be dyed, it reduces the need to hold too much stock in specific colours that have not been ordered and so may never be used.

Here at Biddle Sawyer Silks we hold large quantities of our silks in various colours in order to be able to provide an immediate service with next day delivery on silk we already have in stock. We also work with clients who provide their own bespoke colour palettes, and are able to match their samples via lap dips.

4. Spinning

The traditional spinning wheel has always, and will always be an integral part of the silk production process. Although updated industrial processes are now able to spin silk threads much quicker, it simply mimics the functions of the classic spinning wheel.

The process of spinning essentially unwinds the dyed fibres on to a bobbin, so that they lay flat ready for the weaving process. This can be done in many different ways from hand-spinning to ring-spinning and mule spinning.

5. Weaving

Weaving is the process in which the final piece of silk comes together. There are many different ways in which silk can be woven – satin weave, plain weave and open weave are most common, and the finish of the silk will depend on the type of weave.

Generally, weaving involves interlacing two sets of threads so that they lock around each other and create a strong, uniform piece of fabric. The threads will be woven at right angles to each other, and the two different angles are called a warp and a weft. The warp will run up and down the fabric, while the weft runs across it.

6.Printing

Should a piece of silk require a special pattern or design, it will need to be printed after pre-treatment. This can be done in two different ways: digital printing and screen printing

Digital silk printing uses a specially designed textile printer, using ink to transfer hand drawn or digitally produced artwork on to fabrics.

7. Finishing

In order to be deemed ready for use, silks must be finished. Finishing a piece of silk gives it that highly lustrous sheen that it is so commonly known for, and is the reason that the desired look and feel can be achieved.

Silk finishing can be done in many different ways, mainly by applying different chemical treatments which can add a host of valuable properties including fire resistance and crease-proofing.

6. Microfiber

In its most basic form, microfiber is polyester woven extremely fine. Because microfiber doesn’t stain, they make great sheets for kids, if you’re eating in bed, and for those who sleep with their dog. It’s softer than polyester but less breathable than cotton making it good for cold weather.

Microfibre is one type of sythetic fiber that consists of polyester and polyamide. It finer than one denier or decitex/thread, having a diameter of less than ten micrometres. Microfibers are produced in the range of 0.3–1.0 dtex, equivalent to diameters of approximately 5–10 μm. Microfibres are many times finer than a human hair and much finer than the finest silk: allowing for different densities, their diameters are generally less than 10 μm. Microfibers have opened up a new field of applications and expanded the expression potential of fibric materials.

Microfibres can also be exploited in the construction of waterproof, breathable fabrics. Microfibre textiles are also used in filtration products, cleaning fabrics and in medical products such as protective face masks and surgical drapes.

1. Dissolved type

Microfibers of this type are manufactured from bi-component fibres (see below for details) with different types of polymers. Comparatively thick bi-component filaments containing different types of incompatible polymers are spun, and the fabric is made using them. When the fabric is treated chemically with solvent, one component is dissolved and removed, and the other component remains as the microfibre. Polyester and nylon microfibers can be made by this method. Commercial production has been reported to use 20/80% ratios of soluble/insoluble polymers to produce a bi-component filament of up to 2 dtex fineness, and a final dissolved filament with linear density of about 0.50 dtex.

The main considerations for selection of suitable polymer component are:

High solubility;
Stability at extrusion temperature;
The polymers’ rheological properties should be compatible at extrusion temperature;
It should be recoverable for use, so that the cost of solvent and soluble polymer is affordable;
It should be non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-polluting.

The various combinations of soluble/insoluble polymers reported to form fibres successfully are polystyrene/polyamide and polystyrene/polyester.

2. Split type

The microfibers of this type are obtained by physically or chemically treating the bi-component filaments containing two types of polymers and splitting them into different types of filaments. It is easier to split the Segment in filament from itself than in the fabrics. Suitable polymer combinations for splittable bi-component filament spinning are polyamides/polyester and polyester/polyolefines.

The polymers must be incompatible;
The polymer should have reasonably similar melt at common extruder temperature;
The polymers should have weak adhesivity.

3. Direct spun type

This microfiber is directly manufactured by melt spinning. For this method, highly selected polymerization, polymer, spinning conditions, and drawing conditions are required. Special melt spinning dynamics should be considered for the production of low linear density polyester by the direct extrusion method. When polymers have similar dynamic viscosities at the given temperature, the polymer with the lower dynamic viscosity permits the spinning of finer fibers. This result has been attributed to the lower spin-line tension generated when spinning polymers with lower dynamic viscosity. It is postulated that the important parameter in the production of finer PET fiber is the spin-line tension level, which must be kept low in order to obtain finer fibers. The increase in take-up velocity and the fibre line length between the spinnered and the take-up device increase the spin-line stress level, and therefore the minimum fineness attainable increases.

4. Super-drawing technique

In this technique, no molecular orientation is involved. Staple fibre with linear density less than 0.5 dtex can be produced with high drawing ratios. This technique is based on the principle that yarn can be stretched as much as 10-75 times; much beyond their conventional draw ratios (3-6 times) if the drawing is carried out at a minimum crystallizing temperature and at special selected drawing conditions, including the temperature range and the type of heating the fibre.

4. Sheath-core spinning method.

In this method, two different polymers are mixed, melted, and mix-annealed under specified conditions. The conjugate fibre comprising of a concentric circular sheath and a core is manufactured, and the sheath portion is removed to form ultra-fine fibres.

Some other methods:

Flash-spinning method
Solution flash-spinning
Emulsion-spinning method
Jet-spinning method
Centrifugal-spinning method
Turbulent forming method
Conjugate-spinning method

7. Satin

Satin sheets are made out of synthetic fibers and have an alluring feel. Like silk, adding satin sheets is an excellent way to spice up a room with some romance. When looking for these types of sheets, be aware of whether the satin is woven or knit. Woven makes the satin smoother, while knit adds a bit of roughness to it.

Satin is made of silk, polyester, nylon. Which gives a shiny and luxurious fabric look. In regular weaving, the weaver just put one thread under another one but in the case of satin, it is complex. Satin is a warp-dominated weaving technique that forms a minimum number of interlacing’s in a fabric. It has a lustrous surface and dull back.

Satin can be created out of polyester, wool, cotton and silk. However the latter is the best choice, and polyester a close second. Nevertheless, one should not confuse sateen’ with satin as sateen is a fabric created when a satin weave is applied to cotton.
