Frequently asked questions
What is eco cotton?
eco cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
This means:
- Less chemical impact on soil and water
- Safer working conditions in farming
- A cleaner raw fiber at harvest
However, eco cotton still requires land, water, and energy to grow.
What is recycled cotton?
Recycled cotton is made from existing cotton waste — either from textile production or post-consumer sources.
By reusing existing fibers, recycled cotton:
- Reduces textile waste
- Lowers the need for new raw materials
- Helps extend the life cycle of cotton
Because the fibers are shorter, recycled cotton is often blended with other cotton to maintain strength.
Environmental impact – a balanced view?
At DAGGRY, we use a carefully considered blend of organic and recycled cotton.
This allows us to:
- Maintain fabric strength and comfort
- Reduce textile waste
- Avoid unnecessary treatments
Our goal is not to maximize claims, but to create bedding that lasts — in both quality and relevance.
How durability is affected?
Organic cotton fibers are typically longer and stronger.
Recycled cotton fibers are shorter due to prior processing.
For this reason, recycled cotton is usually combined with virgin or organic cotton to balance:
- Strength
- Softness
- Longevity
A well-balanced blend offers both durability and reduced environmental impact.
Is recycled cotton less durable?
On its own, it can be. When blended thoughtfully, durability is maintained.
Is eco cotton always better?
It reduces chemical impact, but still requires significant resources to grow.
How does cotton sateen behave over time?
Cotton sateen behaves like natural cotton:
- It can wrinkle slightly
- It benefits from gentle washing
- It improves with use rather than wearing out
These are natural characteristics of cotton — not flaws.
