The Many Benefits of Organic Cotton

There is a world of difference between regular and organic cotton. Anyone who has used organic cotton products will find it hard to return to regular cotton. The benefits of organic cotton don’t just stop at the quality of products. Since natural cottons are not chemically stripped of its natural wax, most weaves have a characteristic smoothness and weight.

No toxic chemicals are used in the growing of organic cotton. It doesn't damage the soil, has less impact on the air, and uses 88% less water and 62% less energy. Conventional cotton uses about 16% of the world's insecticides and 7% of pesticides.

The purity of cotton fibers is judged from the way the cotton is picked. Cotton is either handpicked or machine picked. Organic cotton is completely handpicked, preserving the purity of every fiber and ensuring that no fiber is damaged in the process. Regular cotton is more in demand and supply, and is usually machine-picked to cope with the rush. This doesn’t maintain the purity of the fibers, and also damages cotton fibers in the picking process, leading to loss and wastage. Organic cotton products are softer than regular cotton because of the longer fibers. Being handpicked ensures these fibers don’t get weakened or broken, resulting in softer and more durable products.


Why Organic Cotton is the Best Choice for People With Allergies

Allergies cause all sorts of uncomfortable symptoms, which prevent suffers from a sound night's sleep. Itching, sneezing, coughing and a runny nose are just a few of the problems you might encounter while trying to sleep during allergy season.

Dander, pet hair, tiny dust mites, and seasonal pollen are all contributing factors to sleep deprivation caused by allergies.

There is an anti-allergen barrier weave that protects the sheets against harmful allergens, which makes them the perfect choice for people who suffer from allergies, have sensitive skin, or are sensitive to chemicals.

The Quality and Longevity of Long-Staple Cotton

Long staple cotton is derived from the Gossypium barbadense species of cotton, which yields cotton with unusually long, silky fibers. Because the longer the cotton fiber, the stronger, softer, and more durable the resulting fabric. Fabrics made of long-staple cottons fray less, pill less, wrinkle less, and even fade less than fabrics made with their short-staple counterparts.

Short fibers mean a less durable, weaker, coarser fabric, with more exposed ends. A longer staple means the fibers are longer and stronger, and so can be spun into long, very fine yarns that produce a smoother, softer feeling fabric that you can enjoy for many years.
