Despite the fact that the quality of a person's rest directly depends on the bed, bed linen also plays an important role. It is an essential attribute for a comfortable and healthy sleep. One of the most popular fabrics used to make pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets is chintz. Let's take a closer look at the features of chintz bedding.

What is chintz?

Chintz is a material made using special technologies. It belongs to cotton types of fabrics. For beauty, paint of various shades, patterns and designs are often applied to it. Despite the fact that India is considered the birthplace of this material, it has become quite widespread in our country. Surely, if not with you, then your mother or grandmother will have old chintz dresses, which several decades ago were an integral attribute of every fashionista.

Today, the material is mainly used to make bed linen. It is believed to be a near-perfect tissue, perfect for contact with the human body. Asian chintz, which was previously imported into the Russian Empire from abroad, and is now produced in our homeland, in the city of Ivanovo, is considered especially high quality.

In addition, crinkled chintz (seersucker) bedding is popular. The color of this fabric is usually a check or strip, although there are other options.

How to choose the right one?

In order not to be mistaken in choosing a set of chintz bedding, there are a few simple rules to follow.

  • Pay special attention to the product label. All the most important characteristics should be described on it: density, service life, washing rules, manufacturer, etc.
  • Before purchasing a kit, open the package (or ask the seller to do this) to make sure the integrity of the products and the decent quality of the fabric.

As for the color, it's a matter of taste. In today's market, there is a very wide selection of options in both gentle and bright colors. The size of the linen (single, double or 1.5 sleeping set) is also selected individually.

Advantages and disadvantages of the material

First of all, buyers note that chintz is a fairly affordable material. Linens made from this fabric can be found almost everywhere. In addition, there is a wide variety of color sets of this type, so we can say with 100% certainty that you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for, whether it be plain bedding for a bedroom or a product with drawings for a nursery.

Another plus is the affordable price. Calico bedding is the cheapest compared to other materials. Also, many housewives note that such kits do not require special care.

However, there are also disadvantages. So, chintz has a low density. In addition, frequent and prolonged washings significantly spoil the material (both its structure and color).
