What’s the Difference?

Comfy Textile offers the highest quality microfiber cleaning, detailing, and facial/spa products at competitive prices. Unfortunately, the market is flooded with cheap and significantly less effective microfiber products from numerous manufacturers and big-box retailers. It's essential to recognize that not all microfiber is created equal.

1. Split Microfiber

All microfiber products from Comfy Textile undergo a micro-replication splitting process, which increases the surface area of the fibers. This process requires expensive equipment but is crucial for producing the most absorbent and effective microfiber available. Thanks to these additional splits, Comfy Textile microfiber can absorb seven times or more of its own weight in liquids and is highly efficient at cleaning and wiping away dust, dirt, water, grease, oils, and more. Cheaper microfiber towels do not go through this process and, as a result, lack the additional fiber surface area necessary to match the effectiveness of Comfy Textile towels.

2. Yarn Quality

It is widely acknowledged that the finest microfiber comes from China. Comfy Textile's premium detailing, cleaning, and facial/spa/bath towels are crafted from top-grade A-Grade fiber yarn produced exclusively in China. Although our manufacturing process for this yarn is costlier, the resulting towels offer the highest absorption rate, antibiotic properties, and drying capabilities available on the market.

3. Fabric Density

Most microfiber towels from Comfy Textile consist of over 300,000 fibers per square inch. In contrast, cheaper towels may have less than half of that density (below 100,000), leading to significantly lower absorbency. Generally, a higher fiber density correlates with greater effectiveness in drying and cleaning.

4. Polyester / Polyamide Ratio

Quality microfiber typically falls within a polyester to polyamide (nylon) ratio of 70/30 to 80/20; all Comfy Textile products fall within this range. Polyamide is more expensive to produce than polyester, and many lower-quality towels are made from 100% polyester, lacking the necessary composition for effective cleaning and drying.

5. Quality Control

Many mid-tier manufacturers produce their fabric in various factories before manufacturing towels and other products. This approach allows them to use lower-quality fabric and take advantage of cheaper labor, but compromises their ability to maintain quality control throughout the process. In contrast, the best quality microfiber manufacturers produce both their fabric and products at a single facility in South Korea, where quality is closely monitored throughout the entire process. All of Comfy Textile's highest quality microfiber detailing, cleaning, and facial/spa/bath products are manufactured this way.

6. Don't Be Fooled

Just because a product is labeled as "microfiber" does not provide sufficient information for an informed purchasing decision. As a savvy consumer, at a minimum (if available), check the label for product quality and composition information, including weight (grams per square meter) and the polyester/polyamide ratio (typically between 70/30 and 80/20). Many microfiber manufacturers and sellers omit this information, hoping you will assume all microfiber is the same. Comfy Textile proudly displays the content of our products and is confident that you'll find our offerings among the best available anywhere.

7. Invest in Quality

High-quality towels cost more to produce, but cheap, poorly made towels will end up costing you more in the long run. High-quality microfiber towels will clean, dry, detail, and last much longer than lower-quality options available from big-box stores or low-cost websites. Additionally, using inferior towels can lead to extra costs associated with scratching valuable items (such as cars and musical instruments). Consider this: would you prefer to spend $1.50ononehigh-qualitycleaningtowelthatperformstheworkofthree$1.00 towels? It's a simple choice: $1.50vs.$3.00. This is based on feedback from a real customer comparing one of our 12"x12" Premium Blue Microfiber Terry Towels to three $1.00 towels from a popular home improvement store.

Of course, a drawback of Comfy Textile's business model is that customers will need to buy fewer towels in the future due to the superior durability of our products. However, we embrace this reality. Our priority is to have satisfied customers who spread the word to their friends and businesses about Comfy Textile's high-quality towels, leading them to purchase microfiber products from us as well. In the end, it all balances out!
