Which is better, Lyocell or pure cotton?
#A hundred types of fabrics are available at Shangyu#

When buying clothes or choosing bedding, the two fabrics that people are most concerned about are pure cotton and lyocell (Tencel). As popular skin friendly fabrics, who is more worth buying? There is no absolute superiority or inferiority, only differences in adaptation scenarios. Today, we will explain the advantages and disadvantages of both at once, and you can directly compare them when making daily purchases.

Explosive fabrics
Lyocell, pure cotton
Pure cotton: a versatile and reassuring option for the masses

Pure cotton is a classic national fabric made from natural cotton, with the biggest advantage of being gentle and non irritating, suitable for all people. Its fibers are soft and simple, with moderate breathability. It fits the skin all year round without sweating, static electricity, or allergies. It is a fabric for infants, young children, and people with sensitive skin.
In terms of practicality, pure cotton is washable, wear-resistant, not easily tangled, machine washed without deformation, easy to maintain, and has a high cost performance ratio. Most daily T-shirts, pajamas, and four piece bed sets are made of pure cotton material. But the shortcomings are also very obvious. After washing, it is easy to wrinkle and shrink slightly. When sweating a lot, the fabric will slightly fit snugly, and the dry and transparent feeling is slightly weak. The overall drape and luster are relatively ordinary.

Lyocell: A Light Luxury and Breathable 'Summer Material'

Lyocell, commonly known as Tencel, is a recycled and environmentally friendly fiber derived from natural wood pulp. It is known for its silky and cool feel, lightweight and breathable properties, and has become a popular fabric in recent years. Compared to pure cotton, it absorbs moisture faster, has better breathability, and comes with a 2-3 ℃ physical coolness. Wearing and lying down in hot and humid weather is refreshing and non sticky, perfectly solving the problem of pure cotton sweating and sticking.
At the same time, Lyocell comes with advanced soft light, excellent drape, less wrinkling, and a more streamlined design. The quality of finished clothing and beds far exceeds that of ordinary pure cotton. But it is not perfect. The fabric is delicate and soft, prone to snagging, and its toughness decreases when wet. It is easy to break when rubbed vigorously, and its price is higher than pure cotton. Daily care requires a little attention to detail.

The ultimate purchasing conclusion, follow it to choose whether to step on the thunder or not

Choose pure cotton: preferably used for close fitting underwear, children's clothing, autumn and winter bedding, and all season home wear. Pursuing safety, skin friendliness, durability, easy maintenance, and high cost-effectiveness, choosing pure cotton will never go wrong.
Choose Lyocell: Priority for summer short sleeves, cool bedding, shirts, and dresses. If you want a refreshing and cool feeling, high-end texture, breathable and sweat free, the Lyocell experience surpasses pure cotton.
