Difference between combed cotton and pure cotton

The main differences between ‌‌combed cotton and ‌pure cotton are in the production process, texture, feel, usage scenarios, durability, price, and hygroscopicity and breathability. ‌

·‌Production process‌: Combed cotton has a combing process.Through this process, short fibers,impurities and neps are removed, making the fibers more neat and straight, thereby improving the quality of cotton yarn. Pure cotton, on the other hand, is woven directly from cotton without going through the combing process, so the fibers may contain some short fibers and impurities.

·‌Texture and feel‌: The texture of combed cotton is more delicate, softer, smoother, comfortable when touching,less irritating to the skin, and with better elasticity and anti-wrinkle properties. In comparison, the texture of pure cotton is relatively rough and may not feel as delicate as combed cotton, but pure cotton also has good air permeability, moisture absorption and comfort.

·‌Usage scenarios‌: Due to high quality and comfortable feel, combed cotton is often used to produce high-end bed sheets, clothing, underwear and other products. Pure cotton fabrics are suitable for various daily necessities, such as daily clothing, bedding and home accessories.

Durability‌: Combed cotton has longer and more delicate fibers, so its durability is better than pure cotton, and it can still maintain good quality after multiple washes.

·‌Price‌: Since the combing process is added to the production process of combed cotton, the price is usually higher than that of pure cotton.

·‌Hygroscopicity and breathability‌: Both have good breathability and moisture absorption, but because combed cotton has longer and finer fibers, its breathability and moisture absorption properties may be slightly better.

To sum up, the main differences between combed cotton and pure cotton lie in the production process, texture and feel, usage scenarios, durability, price, hygroscopicity and breathability. Consumers can decide which fabric to use based on their specific needs when choosing.
