A good set of bedding can not only improve the quality of sleep, but also beautify the bedroom space and make people feel happy. In the bedding industry, Class A and Class B usually refer to the safety level of bedding. According to the provisions of GB 18401-2010 "National Basic Safety Technical Specifications for Textile Products", textiles are divided into three categories: A, B and C according to their use
Category A: Infant products, i.e. textiles that come into direct contact with infants and young children.
Category B: Products in direct contact, suitable for textiles that are in direct contact with children.
Category C: Products that do not come into direct contact with **, such as decorative textiles such as curtains and tablecloths.
What category does bedding usually fall into?
Bedding mainly includes bed sheets, pillowcases, mattresses, quilts, pillows, etc., which have close contact with the human body in daily life. According to the above criteria, bedding is clearly classified as a category B - a product that comes into direct contact**. This is because bedding requires direct contact** to provide a comfortable sleeping experience, so there are high demands on its safety and hygiene standards.
Why does bedding fall under Class B?
Direct contact**: The nature of bedding requires direct contact with the user's ** to ensure comfort and warmth. If you use bedding that is lower than the B standard, it may cause adverse reactions such as allergies and irritation due to factors such as materials or dyes.
Health and safety requirements: Bedding has extremely high requirements for hygiene and cleanliness due to the environment and frequency of use. Class B standard bedding has strict safety and environmental protection requirements for dyeing, printing and other processes in the production process, which is more conducive to ensuring the health of users.
It is used by a wide range of people: Compared with Class A infant products, Class B products are suitable for ** and children, covering a wider range of users. Therefore, bedding, as a textile that comes into direct contact**, should have a safety level that meets the health and safety needs of the majority of the population.
Types and materials of bedding
Bedding mainly includes bed sheets, pillowcases, bedspreads, mattresses, blankets, etc. These products are made of a variety of materials, including natural materials such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool, as well as synthetic materials such as polyester, cotton, and man-made fibers.
Cotton: Good air permeability, strong moisture absorption, suitable for all kinds of **, is the most common bedding material.
Silk: The texture is light and thin, smooth to the touch, and has good breathability, so it is suitable for summer use.
Hemp: It has excellent moisture absorption and air permeability, so it is suitable for summer use, but it has a hard feel.
Polyester and cotton blend: Combines the advantages of cotton and polyester and is easy to wrinkle and easy to care for.
