Expert opinion on what is better: satin or polysatin
If you compare two materials, then it is worth deciding what is the important criterion for purchasing (cost, naturalness of the composition, properties of the material).
Polysatin is a cheaper material, but it’s still not worth purchasing children’s clothes or clothes for allergy sufferers from it. If you want to buy beautiful, stylish bed linen with photo printing, you can buy a polysatin set, but do not use it all the time.
Satin is a more expensive material with a beautiful shine. The material will last a long time, the body breathes under it. It wicks away moisture well and is breathable. Consumers love it for its natural composition.
The purpose of the thing you plan to buy is important. For example, if it is a stylish bag, curtains for the living room or an awning from sunlight, then you can save money by buying something made of polysatin.
If you plan to buy a robe or pajamas for home, you can purchase something made from polysatin blend or satin. This fabric will be more pleasant to the body.
It is better to purchase dresses from satin. This material has a noble shine, it is very beautiful and practically does not wrinkle. A dress made of this material can be worn for a long time, it will not deform or stretch.
If you have a choice between two fabrics and need to buy bed linen, then it is better to choose satin. Such kits have a natural composition. Its cost is more expensive, but the person sleeping under it will not sweat and the set will be pleasant to the body. And underwear made from polysatin will slip and is less breathable.
