Cotton is one of the world's most appreciated and used natural fibres. Textiles in cotton are soft, hardwearing and can be washed at high temperatures. They are also good at breathing and absorbing moisture – making them pleasant to wear close to the body. Today at IKEA we use more and more recycled cotton and strive to make sure that all the new cotton we use has been grown and produced with less and less amounts of pesticides, fertilisers and water.

Stripes can be really practical. On VÅGSJÖN towels and VOXSJÖN bath mat they contribute to greater absorbency and shorter drying time. And on VADSJÖN shower curtain they let light through. A matching trio.
