12 Most Suitable fabrics for Women Loungewear Design

With the diversification of home scenes, consumers’ requirements for loungewear are no longer limited to basic wear, but they pay more attention to the comfort, functionality and health properties of the fabrics.

A 2026 European and American Loungewear Industry Report shows that fabric quality has become the primary consideration for consumers when purchasing women’s loungewear, accounting for 70% of consumers’ choices. As a manufacturer deeply engaged in women’s clothing, we’ve combined the latest trends from global fabric exhibitions with our own production experience to identify 12 high-quality fabrics that are most suitable for women’s loungewear and provide them for your selection.

1. Pure cotton fabric: the first choice for classic and comfortable loungewear

Pure cotton, known for its softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, has long been a popular choice for loungewear. We use long-staple cotton from Xinjiang, which has fibers 30% longer than regular cotton. The resulting fabric is delicate and retains its shape after washing.

To meet different needs, we have developed two types of loungewear fabrics: combed cotton and carded cotton:

Combed cotton fabric (yarn count 40S-60S) is suitable for lightweight spring and summer loungewear, such as short-sleeved pajama sets. It offers excellent breathability and absorbs sweat quickly.

Carded cotton fabric (yarn count 20S-32S) is more suitable for thicker fall and winter loungewear, such as long-sleeved loungewear sets. It provides excellent warmth and a cozy, enveloping feel. Currently, our factory has achieved large-scale production of pure cotton loungewear fabrics, supporting a variety of custom printing techniques with minimum orders as low as 50 pieces.

2.Modal fabric: a soft and smooth “second skin”​

Modal fabric, known for its exceptional softness and drape, has become a popular choice for high-end loungewear.

We craft this fabric from natural fibers extracted from European beech wood. Through a special processing process, the fabric’s surface is smooth and delicate, with a silky feel. Its excellent moisture-wicking and breathability help regulate body temperature, keeping you cool even in the heat of summer.

This fabric is suitable for styles like slip dresses and loose-fitting loungewear, perfect for both casual wear at home and as a casual outfit.

During the production process, we strictly control shrinkage to less than 3%, ensuring the longevity of our women’s loungewear.

3.Silk fabric: a luxurious and high-quality choice

Silk, a natural protein fiber, combines luxurious texture and comfort, making it a representative fabric for high-end loungewear.

The mulberry silk we use boasts uniform fineness, a soft luster, excellent breathability, and moisture absorption, providing a seamless fit and a superior wearing experience.

Silk loungewear is suitable for styles like nightgowns and camisole pajamas, exuding elegance and refinement, making it a top choice for consumers seeking a quality lifestyle. To ensure fabric quality, we rigorously control everything from silk cocoon selection to fabric weaving, and offer a variety of dyeing processes to meet the personalized needs of diverse customers.

However, the production cycle for silk fabric is relatively long, typically 20-30 days. The minimum order quantity varies depending on the style and craftsmanship, but is typically no less than 50 pieces.

4. Linen Fabric: A Natural, Breathable Summer Essential

Linen, a natural plant fiber, offers excellent breathability, moisture absorption, and thermal conductivity, making it an ideal fabric for summer loungewear for women.

Our linen fabric, made from imported French flax, features a unique surface texture, a natural, rustic look, and excellent abrasion and wrinkle resistance, requiring no frequent ironing after washing.

Linen loungewear is suitable for short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and other styles. It’s loose and comfortable, effectively dissipating heat and relieving summer heat. During production, we optimize the weaving process to reduce the irritation of linen fabric and enhance its comfort.

Our linen loungewear is available in a variety of colors and textures, and small-batch customization is also available.

5. Bamboo Fiber Fabric: Green and Healthy Fabric

Bamboo fiber fabrics are gaining popularity among consumers for their environmentally friendly, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties.

We use physical methods such as high-temperature steaming to extract bamboo fibers and create bamboo fiber fabrics. The entire production process is chemical-free and environmentally friendly. This fabric offers excellent breathability and moisture absorption, effectively inhibiting bacterial growth and reducing odor. It also feels soft and smooth, and is non-irritating to the skin.

We have achieved stable mass production of bamboo fiber fabrics and can perform printing, dyeing, and other processing according to customer needs. The minimum order quantity is 50 pieces.

6. Coral Fleece: A Warm and Thick Autumn and Winter Companion

Coral fleece fabric, thanks to its fluffy, soft, and warm properties, has become a popular choice for loungewear in the fall and winter.

Our coral fleece fabric is woven from microfibers, resulting in a dense and uniform surface pile that feels as soft and thick as coral. It effectively locks in heat and provides a warm environment.

7. Flannel : A Classic Fabric That’s Both Delicate and Warm

Flannel fabric is a soft, warm wool blend with a delicate hand and excellent thermal insulation.

We use a blend of high-quality wool and cotton fibers to create this flannel fabric. Through a raising process, the surface of the fabric forms a dense layer of nap, creating a soft and comfortable touch and excellent warmth retention. It also has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing for ease of movement.

Flannel loungewear is suitable for long-sleeved pajama sets, home jackets, and other styles, making it ideal for autumn and winter, providing consumers with a warm and comfortable home experience.

Knitted fabrics are suitable for a variety of loungewear styles, such as vests, trousers, and dresses, and offer excellent versatility, allowing them to be easily combined with other clothing.

During the production process, we adjust the weaving process based on the different fabric characteristics to ensure the fabric’s elasticity and stability, allowing for small-batch customization and fast production.

9. Tencel Fabric: Lightweight, Breathable, High-end Fabric

Tencel fabric is a new type of regenerated cellulose fiber that combines the comfort of natural fibers with the durability of synthetic fibers.

Made from imported Austrian Tencel, our fabric is lightweight, breathable, soft, and smooth. It also has excellent moisture-wicking properties, quickly absorbing sweat and removing it from the body to keep the skin dry and refreshed.

12. Blended fabrics: practical fabrics with balanced performance

Blended fabrics are made by combining two or more different fibers, combining their strengths to achieve balanced performance.

Based on market demand, we have developed a variety of blended loungewear fabrics, including cotton-linen blends, cotton-modal blends, and wool-cotton blends.

Cotton-linen blends combine the softness of cotton with the breathability of linen, making them suitable for spring and summer wear; cotton-modal blends combine the comfort of cotton with the smoothness of modal, offering a superior wear experience; and wool-cotton blends combine the warmth of wool with the breathability of cotton, making them ideal for autumn and winter wear.
