About Our Microfiber Sheets & Pillowcases
While sheets and pillowcases are a necessity for every bed, your choice in linens can affect your sleep. It’s important to have no distractions at bedtime, and that includes discomfort. Microfiber sheets and pillowcases are very thin, yet are durable and exceptionally smooth for a comfortable night’s rest. They are a wonderful option for anyone who wants lightweight, silky-smooth comfort as they drift off to dreamland.
Microfiber is composed of very finely woven fibers that are defined by their thickness. Many microfibers are made in the lab instead of forming naturally in nature. They can be made from wood pulp, or a blend of polyester and nylon polymers. For a fiber to be considered a microfiber, it must be less than 1 “denier” in diameter. In comparison, consider that fine silk measures at 1.25 deniers. That means microfiber is thinner and smoother than silk!
