Calico (byaz) is a dense, plain-weave fabric made of 100% cotton. It is the most popular material for bedding thanks to its balance of strength, softness and affordable price.
Composition and Weight
Classic calico is 100% cotton at 120–145 GSM. It comes printed, piece-dyed or bleached. The higher the weight, the more durable the fabric.
- Strength: survives hundreds of washes without wear.
- Breathability: natural cotton, comfortable for sleep.
- Care: easy to wash, minimal shrinkage in quality calico.
- Price: the most affordable of bedding fabrics.
Where It Is Used
Bed linen, pillowcases and duvet covers, children's textiles, workwear and linings. Calico is the backbone of any textile factory's range.
Tip: for premium bedding choose calico of 140 GSM or higher — it is stronger and softer to the touch.
