Polycotton is longer-lasting, easier to care for and considerably better value.
Of course, the length of time your bedding last depends on how it is treated, but generally, polyester/cotton mix fabrics will last longer as they are considerably more durable, due to the strong nature of polyester. They can also be washed at higher temperatures without any shrinkage – cotton will shrink if washed at higher temperatures. Ironing polyester/cotton sheets is a lot easier than cotton. A lot! Cotton can easily crease after machine washing, making ironing a bit of a pain, frankly. Polyester/cotton blend fabrics need very little ironing to maintain their ‘crisp’ feel. If you want to iron your polycotton sheets, make sure you set your iron to a cooler temperature. Polyester/cotton blend fabrics also hold their shape better.
Cotton is more expensive than polyester, and polyester/cotton materials last longer. Many people equate cotton with ‘luxury’, however this isn’t a fact, just an opinion. Polyester blend sheets and bedding a much better value for money, no question.

Cotton vs Polycotton – which is best? That’s a difficult question and all depends on what you want. Cotton is more expensive, but polycotton is way more durable and long-lasting. Cotton tends to be softer, but polycotton brings a crisp and clean feel to your bedding.
Cotton vs Polycotton
It’s all a matter of preference! Cotton feels softer on your skin, but polycotton feels crisp and fresh on your bed. Cotton is less strong and more likely to tear, whereas polycotton is a much stronger material, less likely to tear.
Cotton is also notoriously awkward to keep clean. It requires lower temperatures, meaning a less thorough wash and is considerably more difficult to iron. Polycotton however, can be washed a temperatures up to 60°, meaning a much cleaner wash. It can be tumble dried without any problems and is much easier to iron. Combining cotton and polyester makes the garment less prone to piling and static. One of the main advantages of the cotton-polyester blend is that it is more wrinkle-free.
