What is Microfiber?
Microfiber is a synthetic fabric made from very fine polyester threads. While it’s soft and inexpensive, it comes with some drawbacks:

  • It traps heat, making it less breathable.

  • It’s known to attract dust and allergens.

  • It sheds microplastics in every wash, contributing to environmental pollution.

Why Polycotton is the Better Choice
Polycotton combines the softness and breathability of cotton with the durability and wrinkle-resistance of polyester. It offers:

  • A cooler, more breathable sleep.

  • Greater washability—polycotton holds up better over time.

  • Less environmental impact, especially when crafted responsibly like AUSA’s bedding, produced in our Pakistan-based facility.

    Final Thoughts
    Your bedding should help you sleep better—not just feel soft to the touch. AUSA’s polycotton range is designed for long-term comfort, eco-conscious living, and real value. Say goodbye to microfiber, and make the switch to breathable, long-lasting bedding that loves you back.
