Microfiber is a kind of high-quality and high-performance synthetic fiber. The diameter of microfiber is very small. It is usually smaller than 1mm that is a tenth of the diameter of a hair strand. It is mainly made of polyester and nylon. And it can also be made of other high-performance polymer.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Microfiber and Cotton
1.Softness:
Microfiber has better softness than cotton. And it has more comfortable hand feeling and very good anti-wrinkling effect.
2.Moisture absorption:
Cotton has better moisture absorption and moisture wicking performance than microfiber. Generally, microfiber has strong blocking action on moisture, so that it may make people feel hot.
3.Breathability:
For its own good breathability, cotton is very comfortable for wearing in summer. And microfiber has poor breathability, so it is a little hot for wearing in summer.
4.Warmth retention property:
Microfiber has better warmth retention property than cotton. It is warmer to wear microfiber fabric than cotton in winter. But for its poorer breathability, it is less comfortable for wearing.
Microfiber is not easy to deform, so it is suitable for the cold winter. And in the hot summer, cotton is more comfortable and breathable for wearing and it has longer life time.
