Poly Cotton
A blend of 50% polyester and 50% cotton, this product lasts twice as long as 100% cotton. It gives you the softness of cotton and the wrinkle-resistance of polyester. It will absorb liquids, however, and may be more prone to stain than other options. It will also pill and breakdown over time.
100% Polyester
If you’re looking for the highest level of pill, stain, wrinkle, and shrink resistance, these may be the table linens for you. They do not absorb liquids in the case of spills and can be machine washed just like cloth. They will not shrink in the dryer and even retain their size with repeated washings.
Polyspun
A blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this product is also soft to touch and wrinkle-resistant. It features longer wear than poly cotton blends (roughly twice as long) and the resistance to shrinking, pilling, and fading of 100% polyester. Polyspun linens keep their color twice as long as poly cotton and resist breakdown. The plastic-like fibers allow it to withstand the washing cycle longer and make it much more stain resistant.
Better Quality, Better Experience
You will find all three of these restaurant table linens come in different sizes, shapes, and quality. Better quality linens typically feature a higher thread count and are more durable. You may want to sample various options of each type before making your decision, and see how they feel to the touch.
