| Types | Names | Loved For | Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Egyptian, Pima/Supima®, Organic | Large variety of uses. Soft yet very durable and releases dirt easily in water. | Higher thread counts can reduce wrinkles but may also sleep warmer. "Wrinkle free cotton" requires harsh chemical treatments that eventually wash out returning the fabric to it's natural state. |
| Eucalyptus | Tencel®, Lyocell | Silky smooth softness, low wrinkle, superior moisture wicking, high performance, sustainable, anti-microbial. | Can be more expensive than other textiles like cotton or blends. |
| Blends | Cotton + Polyester is most common | Less expensive. Low wrinkle without added chemicals. | Blends wear out faster than 100% cotton or other natural textiles. Adding polyester creates extra heat unlike natural breathable fabrics. |
