We get it — polyester bedding is cheap, easy to find, and everywhere. But have you ever wondered what you’re really sleeping on?
Polyester is a type of plastic. It’s made from petroleum, doesn’t breathe well, and can trap heat, sweat, and bacteria against your skin. That might explain why you’re waking up hot, itchy, or even breaking out.
Here’s what you should know:
1. Polyester = Plastic on Your Skin
Polyester is derived from the same materials used in plastic bottles. While it might feel soft at first, it doesn’t allow your skin to breathe — and that creates the perfect storm for irritation, acne, and even long-term skin issues, especially if you have sensitive skin.
2. It Traps Heat and Sweat
Ever wake up drenched? Polyester doesn’t absorb moisture well. Instead, it locks in heat and sweat — which means more bacteria on your sheets and less comfort for you.
3. It’s Not Great for the Planet
Because polyester is plastic-based, it doesn’t break down easily. Most polyester bedding ends up in landfills, leaching microplastics into the environment. Every time you wash it, you’re releasing tiny plastic fibers into our waterways.
4. Certified Cotton is the Safer, Softer Alternative
At Katin Life, we use 100% Egyptian cotton, certified by Oeko-Tex® and the Ethical Trading Initiative. That means no harsh chemicals, better airflow, and softness that actually helps your skin recover overnight.
