Abstract
In order to develop the performance of the bed linen index objectively, the first seven properties of the fabric are selected by twenty-four experts subjectively, and these experts also give the weight for each property according to the necessity. These properties are total hand value (THV), moisture management, abrasion resistance, air permeability, wrinkle recovery, thermal resistance, and drape of fabric. After selecting the properties and the weight for each characteristic, an integrated index for bed linen performance value is developed. Before directly using the value of each property into the equation, normalization of data should be done to shrink the range of the data such that the range is fixed between 1 and 5. The correlation between subjective and objective evaluations was very high (r = 0.82). This indicates that the bed linen performance index could be estimated as well.
Highlights
Today buyers and consumers are much more comfortand performance-conscious than ever before
To develop the equation for the performance of bed linen fabric using an objective measurement based on the fabric quality parameters, first select the appropriate parameter about Bed Linen Performance Index (BLPI) and ask the experts about which properties are necessary for bed linen performance and which properties have the highest importance among the selected properties
Seven important properties are important for the bed linen fabric. ese properties are fabric hand, air permeability, moisture management, thermal resistance, abrasion resistance, and fabric drape and crease recovery
Summary
Today buyers and consumers are much more comfortand performance-conscious than ever before. E comfort of sleeping is a vital component of daily life, and its level depends on the design of the bed climate condition in the bedroom and thermo physiological and thermal contact property of cushions and bed sheets [2, 3]. E performance of bed linen can be judged by sleeping quality. The engineering of appropriate bed linen may influence sleep quality because of this there is a need to develop some performance index using the basics of textile science, which is developed based on a survey which is conducted to decide the contribution of different characteristics of bed linen. Hand value, air permeability, moisture management, thermal insulation, drape, abrasion resistance, and crease recovery have become the primary consideration in determining the performance of bed linen
