Consumers should know that not all cotton is created equal. There are a few important factors involved in ensuring a smart cotton purchase. When shopping for cotton throw blankets, sheets and clothing, buyers should pay attention to three key factors:

First, they should check the softness of the fabric. The material should feel smooth and supple when rubbed between the fingers. Next, they should check for durability. Cotton fabric should last through several years of washing, so if the fabric being considered is already frayed or ragged it should be put back on the shelf. Cotton material has long been touted for its breathability, and this can be checked by the labeling. If the label lists %100 as a quality of the fabric a customer can be assured their cotton purchase will not trap heat.
