1 The polyester pile face which should be at least 1 inch 25mm thick and porous to allow liquids to completely drain through and leave the top surface dry. It should also be of sufficient density to provide support to the entire body surface. This is perhaps the single most important factor.
2 The polyester backing yarn should be of sufficient strength to provide resistance to tearing or shredding.
3 The synthetic acrylic latex applied to the bedding as backing should be of sufficient strength to hold open the structure of the backing yarn to allow liquids to pass through freely, this strength also prevents the edges of the material from fraying. The quality of this backing also determines the service life of the material in terms of wash cycles. If the backing is of sufficient quality the material should have a service life measured in years.
Polyester is the most suitable material to use in the production of bedding because it possesses some very important qualities
It is non-allergenic
It is non-toxic
It is non-irritant
It will not support bacterial growth
It is able to withstand many wash cycles
It is resistant to permanent staining
It is flame retardant
It can be machine washed and tumble dried
