Cotton
Among technical fabrics, cotton remains a fundamental material, prized both for its natural origin and its ability to adapt to technological treatments that make it a high-performance textile.
Cotton is a natural fiber of plant origin, recognized worldwide for its softness, breathability, and comfort. However, when subjected to technological processes and advanced finishes, it is transformed into a technical fabric of great strength, durability, and aesthetic versatility.
At Alonso Mercader, we develop technical cotton collections that maintain the natural essence of the fiber while enhancing its properties through specific treatments: fire retardant, stain resistant, water repellent, or antibacterial.
Technical cotton offers multiple advantages over other materials, especially when used in professional environments:
✔ Natural comfort
Cotton is soft to the touch and highly breathable, providing a comfortable experience in everyday upholstery.
✔ High absorbency and breathability
Its natural structure regulates moisture and maintains a pleasant feel even in warm environments.
✔ Timeless aesthetics
Cotton can adapt to any decorative trend thanks to its versatility in color and texture, offering a warm and elegant finish.
✔ Ease of technical enhancement
With the right treatments, cotton acquires advanced properties such as fire resistance, stain protection, antibacterial effect, and extra durability.
✔ Sustainability
As a natural fiber, Alonso Mercader’s technical cotton is integrated into responsible and sustainable design projects, reducing environmental impact.
Technical cotton upholstery is ideal for multiple sectors where resistant, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing fabrics are required:
