Felt: Wool fibers insulate year round, promoting breathability with a comfy and lightweight essence.
However, some find felt to be too stiff for their liking, and the price point can also be high.
Synthetic/natural blends: Cotton, polyester, and spandex are all practical and durable options that are budget friendly and low maintenance.
Depending on the ratio of materials, breathability and insulation can be a concern.
