Peach skin is created by brushing the surface of the fabric after dyeing, lifting fine fibres into a velvety nap. It is the finish buyers specify when the handfeel has to sell the product in-store — and the finish that is easiest to get wrong at the bulk stage.
- Soft napped surface
- 75–120 gsm
- Brushed after dyeing

What makes peach skin different
The softness does not come from a chemical coating — it comes from mechanical brushing. Fine filaments are raised from the woven surface and then cut back to an even height, which produces the characteristic dry, velvety touch. Because it is a mechanical process, the result depends on the base cloth, the brushing pressure and the number of passes.
That is also why peach skin needs to be approved on the finished surface, not on the greige or the dyed roll. A lab dip approved before brushing can look a shade lighter after the nap is raised.
Typical applications
- Duvet covers and sheet sets — the largest use, usually 85–100 gsm for a soft but durable handfeel.
- Comforter and quilt shells — 75–90 gsm, brushed on the face only.
- Pillowcases and baby bedding — 80–100 gsm, where skin contact drives the choice.
- Printed peach skin — the nap takes print well but reduces print sharpness, so fine linework should be tested first.
Pilling and durability
Brushed fabric has a higher pilling risk than a flat woven surface, because loose fibre ends are exposed by design. We control it with fibre specification, brushing intensity and a post-brushing setting step, and we can issue a pilling test result with the order.
If your market tests to a specific standard — Martindale, pilling box or a retailer's own protocol — tell us the requirement at the enquiry stage. It is much easier to adjust the brushing recipe than to fix pilling after 20,000 m have been produced.

Buyer questions
Brushed Peach Skin Fabric: buyer questions
Is peach skin the same as microfiber?
Not exactly. Microfiber describes the fibre — very fine polyester filaments. Peach skin describes the finish applied to the woven surface. Most peach skin bedding fabric is made from microfiber, which is why the two terms are often used together.
Does brushed fabric pill?
Any brushed surface can pill. We reduce the risk through fibre selection and controlled brushing, and we can issue a pilling test result. If your customer has a specific test standard, share it at enquiry stage so the brushing recipe can be set accordingly.
Can the fabric be printed after brushing?
Yes, but print definition is lower on a napped surface. For designs with fine detail we recommend printing first and brushing afterwards where the construction allows, or testing a strike-off on the brushed base.
What weight should I choose for a duvet cover?
85–100 gsm is the usual range for retail duvet covers: soft enough to feel premium, heavy enough to drape and survive washing. Hotel programmes often specify slightly heavier fabric for laundry durability.
Do you brush one side or both?
Either. Double-sided brushing gives a fuller, softer handle but costs slightly more and increases pilling risk; most bedding uses single-side brushing on the face.
