GSM stands for grams per square meter. It measures how much fabric weighs in a given area. It is a weight rating, not a thickness rating. Higher GSM means denser, heavier fabric. Lower GSM means lighter, more breathable fabric. General guide: 120โ140 GSM = lightweight (summer sheets, thin shirts) 150โ170 GSM = medium weight (jersey sheets, linen duvet covers) 180โ250 GSM = heavier weight (flannel, winter bedding) GSM helps compare feel and durability across materials, but thickness will vary by fiber type. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Akasazh@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent [โ] smeenz@lemmy.nz 4 points 11 months ago (2 children) Grams per square metre permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago* (1 child) Then shouldn't it be g/m^2 ? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) I'm not going to speculate on what it should or could be.
