Sheets, covers and pillowcases cut from one base cloth for a coordinated range.
Applications
Polyester Fabric for Bedding, Curtains and Cushion Covers
Six applications, each with its own weight and construction logic. Choosing the right one at the start avoids the two most common mistakes: fabric that is too light for the product, and fabric that is too heavy to sew profitably.
- Bedding
- Drapery
- Cushions
By product
What each product needs from the fabric
Duvet covers
Seam-free cutting on wide-width fabric — fewer sewing steps, better drape.
Pillowcases
Skin contact drives the choice: soft napped surface, good wash fastness.
Quilt & comforter shells
Light base cloth for quilting and ultrasonic bonding without bulk.
Cushion covers
More body and abrasion resistance; holds a crisp shape on a sofa.
Curtains & drapery
Full-height panels without a horizontal join; denser construction for better drape.

Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
Can one fabric be used for both bedding and curtains?
Sometimes, but rarely well. Bedding needs a soft handle at 80–100 gsm; curtains need body at 140 gsm and above to hang cleanly. A mid-weight fabric at 110–120 gsm can serve both acceptably, which is why it is popular with distributors serving mixed customers.
What weight should a duvet cover be?
80–100 gsm for retail bedding. Heavier fabric feels more substantial but is harder to sew at high speed and drapes less softly; lighter fabric costs less but reads as thin in-store.
Is brushed fabric suitable for hotel bedding?
It is soft, but the nap increases pilling risk under commercial laundering. Many hotel programmes prefer a dense plain weave at 100–120 gsm for durability, with brushed fabric reserved for retail.
