40, 60, 80 Bedding Fabrics, The Bigger The Better Or The Smaller The Better

When we choose bedding products, we always see a data - the number of fabrics (40, 60...), so what is this seemingly profound word?

The fabric count is a way of expressing yarn, usually expressed as the imperial count (S) in "custom weight system", that is: under the condition of a certain moisture regain (8.5%), in a spun yarn with a weight of one pound, How many skeins are 840 yards long each twist is how many counts.

It is difficult to understand if it is, for example, if one gram of cotton is made into 30 yarns with a length of 1 meter, it is 30 yarns, and if it is made into 40 yarns with a length of 1 meter, it is 40 yarns...

Still feel complicated, then just remember this conclusion: the domestic standard, the number of yarn count is inversely proportional to its thickness. It is an important indicator to measure the quality of fabrics.

So, do we have to pursue high counts when buying bedding?

In fact, it is not, because the concept of count is more suitable for worsted spinning. The finer the yarn, the more delicate and delicate the woven fabric. For example, 250 wools have a diameter of 11 microns.

However, the production of too fine yarn is more difficult, the requirements for spinning mills, weaving mills and raw materials are relatively high, the cost is relatively high, and the price is naturally high.

For bedding, 30-60 are enough.

In life, our common embroidered and printed bedding products are mostly 30 or 40. If there are 60 beds, there are more sateen series, and 80 are very high-end bed products, which are relatively rare.

If you see 120, be careful, because for bedding, 120 is already very thin, you can imagine what effect it would be if a layer of yarn was laid on the bed.

In short, the larger the yarn count, the more delicate and soft the fabric is. It is undeniable that, however, when pursuing microfiber, it is necessary to ensure that the raw material has such properties.
