Heavyweight unbleached cotton sheeting fabric with a napped surface, containing over 85% cotton and weighing more than 200 g/m². It falls under HTS 5209.11.00.50 due to its plain weave, unbleached state, and napping process which raises fibers for a soft, fuzzy texture. Primarily used for manufacturing warm bedding like quilts or blankets.
