polycotton

Synthetic-natural textile blend

Polycotton is a fabric blending polyester and cotton fibers, combining polyester's durability and wrinkle resistance with cotton's breathability and softness.

Common in bedsheets, work uniforms, and casual clothing, polycotton typically costs less than pure cotton and dries faster: These polycotton sheets are easier to care for than all-cotton ones.
