Why Cotton Is the Gold Standard for Bedding

Why Cotton Is the Gold Standard for Bedding

At Kiyko Home, we focus on using only the highest quality fabrics for our bedding. That’s why all of our products are 100% cotton, with no synthetic fibers.  We chose a long-staple cotton woven in a crisp, breathable percale. But what makes cotton the go-to choice for so many people? Let’s break down why this textile has stood the test of time.

1. Breathable by Nature

Cotton is known for its ability to breathe. It allows air to circulate through the fibers, helping to regulate your body temperature while you sleep — so you stay cool in the summer and cozy in the winter.

2. Softness that Gets Better with Time

Unlike synthetic materials, cotton actually improves with every wash. It becomes softer and more lived-in — never scratchy or rough. Think of it like your favorite vintage t-shirt, only for your bed.

3. Gentle on Skin

Cotton is naturally hypoallergenic, which makes it a great option for sensitive skin or anyone prone to irritation. Our percale weave has a smooth, matte finish that feels light and crisp — not clingy or heavy.

4. Durable & Long-Lasting

With proper care, cotton bedding can last for years. It’s a strong, resilient fiber that resists pilling and holds its structure over time.

5. Sustainable & Biodegradable

Cotton is a renewable resource, and when grown responsibly, it's one of the most sustainable options for home textiles.

The Kiyko Difference

We don’t believe in cutting corners. Our cotton is woven into a 300-thread-count percale, giving our bedding its signature crisp feel.
