We have conducted over 50 blind tests to compere AMADORA ULTRA MICROFIBER bed linens with top selling 800 Egyptian cotton sheets. Test results showed that 8 out of 10 customers prefer AMADORA ULTRA MICROFIBER linens over leading brand cotton sheets. Microfiber bedding is a newer fabric and is very, very popular these days- but have you ever wondered what this microfiber truly is? To the layman who doesn't want a bunch of technical data, the fiber is microscopically thin..1/100th the diameter of a human hair. Microfiber bedding, as a result is wonderfully soft to the touch. Products made from microfibers like nylon and polyester are created with fibers that are also strong and extremely thin. These fibers are even thinner than the most luxurious than natural fibers, such as silk. And get this- microfiber can even be made to feel like suede, cotton or silk! How cool is that? Fabric created from microfiber that is then used to create your bedding means that you will have products that are lighter, more comfortable, long lasting, breathable and even easier to clean. And it doesn't come with a high price tag either. Products created from these fibers are also great for allergy sufferers. Dust mites can live in such places as comforters, pillows and mattresses, microfiber can be woven into dense covers that do not allow the dust mites to escape and bother the allergy sufferer. Microfiber is an invention that has made a big difference in the lives of those with allergies.
