Natural Fibers: Comfort and Sustainability

Natural fibers, such as cotton, come from plant or animal sources and are known for their soft touch and breathability. When grown responsibly, these fibers are a more sustainable choice, as they do not rely on harsh chemicals or pesticides. Within natural fibers, there are organic options that follow an even more rigorous and eco-friendly production process, ensuring materials free from harmful substances.

Certifications like GOTS, Better Cotton, and Oeko-Tex Standard 100, obtained by Marizé, reflect the brand’s commitment to offering products that respect both the health of its customers and the environment. In addition to being healthier, natural fibers have exceptional thermal properties: cold in the summer and warm in the winter, providing a comfortable and restorative sleep.

Advantages of Natural Fibers:

• Comfort and softness: Ideal for sensitive skin, ensuring a natural and pleasant feel to the touch.

  
  

• Thermal regulation: Natural fibers maintain the ideal temperature year-round, offering coolness in the heat and warmth in the cold.

  
  

• Sustainability and ecology: Produced responsibly, without the use of harmful chemicals, reducing environmental impact.

Synthetic Fibers: Practical but with Limitations

Synthetic fibers, such as polyester and nylon, are made from petrochemical derivatives. These fibers are known for their durability and low cost but have some limitations, especially in terms of comfort and sustainability. Synthetic fibers have lower breathability, which can lead to discomfort by trapping heat and moisture, making them less ideal for a restful night’s sleep.

Furthermore, the artificial feel of synthetic fibers does not offer the same delicacy as natural ones.

Advantages of Synthetic Fibers:

• Durability: They are long-lasting and resistant to wear.

  
  

• Affordable cost: An economical option for daily use.

  
  

• Easy maintenance: They tend to be easier to care for.

  
  

Why Choose Natural Fibers?

Although synthetic fibers may be a quick solution in some situations, natural fibers stand out as the smarter choice for those who value comfort, health, and a reduced environmental footprint. Opting for natural fabrics, such as cotton or linen, provides a sense of well-being and quality, while also respecting the Planet.

Choosing natural fibers is a decision that goes beyond immediate pleasure – it’s an investment in your well-being and a greener future.
