Material description
✅ Benefits of sanforized material
• Shrink-resistant → Sanforizing is a process in which cotton or linen is mechanically pre-treated to prevent shrinkage after washing. This way, the textile retains its size in the long term.
• Better drape → The fabric has a more regular, tighter structure and fits more beautifully on the bed or body.
• More durable → It deforms less, so it retains its original shape and appearance longer.
• Especially good for bed linens and hotel textiles where washing is frequent.
✅ Advantages of mercerized material
• Beautiful shine → During mercerization, cotton fibers are treated with caustic soda, which gives the material a silky shine, providing an elegant, premium appearance.
• Stronger fibers → The process strengthens the cotton fibers, making the material more durable.
• Better color retention → Mercerized cotton absorbs dyes more intensely and more permanently, so colors remain more vibrant and fade less during washing.
• Smoother touch → The material feels softer, silkier on the skin.
Why are they good together?
→ If a material is both sanforized and mercerized, it means that it will be dimensionally stable, have a beautiful shine, be soft and durable at the same time – a perfect choice if you want high quality and long life, whether for home or accommodation.
