Comfort in Textiles

Comfort in textiles refers to how pleasant and suitable a fabric feels when worn or used. It involves several factors: softness, which makes the fabric gentle against the skin; breathability, allowing air to pass and preventing overheating; moisture-wicking, pulling sweat away from the body; and flexibility, enabling ease of movement. Good comfort also considers how the fabric reacts over time—retaining its softness and shape. Ultimately, comfortable textiles enhance our wellbeing by feeling pleasant and supporting physical ease during daily activities or rest.
