Choosing bedding that provides durability for years to come can depend on a number of factors. Pilling, fraying, and other unwanted deterioration of your sheets can happen after constant use, however there are ways to avoid such damage. Take a look at the types of sheets that are less likely to result in pilling and how you can prevent it from happening.

What Materials Pill & Fray?

Certain fabrics pill more than others, however most sheets can pill if not properly cared for. That being said, there are materials that are less likely to pill due to the durability of the fabric. Cotton, specifically Egyptian cotton, is known to be extremely durable and soft for sheets that can last a lifetime. Sheets made from synthetic fibers like bamboo, microfiber, and polyester are not as strong due to the chemicals that are involved in the spinning process. Additionally, always look for the OEKO-Tex certification on all your linens to ensure they are free of harmful chemicals for a safer, stronger fabric.

How to Avoid Pilling

Regardless of the type of sheets you have, it’s recommended to take certain precautions when it comes to caring for your sheets in order to avoid pilling and fraying. Following these tips will increase the longevity of your linens and help keep them looking and feeling their best for years to come.

Wash on Gentle Cycle

Always use the gentle cycle when washing your bed linens to avoid damage to the sheets as they are tossed around. Using cold water will help reduce shrinkage without sacrificing a thorough clean.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Opt for mild detergent free of strong stain-removing chemicals, whiteners, brighteners, softeners, or bleach, as these harsh chemicals can weaken the fine Egyptian cotton fibers and cause color loss over time. 

Store Properly

Even after your sheets have been properly washed, storing them incorrectly can cause deterioration of the fabric. Always keep your freshly washed linens in a cool, dry area. Try storing them in a fabric pouch in an enclosed space that is less likely to attract moisture.
