Do you prefer natural fabrics to synthetic ones? I know I do. I prefer clothes made from cotton, wool, or other natural fibres. They feel more comfortable and they look better.

I suppose some of my home soft furnishings are made from synthetics, such as the fabric on my sofa, but I think I would really prefer cotton for this too.

I think use of natural fibres is better for the environment, as synthetics are generally produced from feedstock of carbon-based molecules that come from crude oil, which is not renewable. The extraction and processsing is an energy-hungry process that wastes resources.

I can’t wear wool, but I love cotton. Cotton breathes easier as well, and is easier to care for than most synthetics.

I like cotton for just about anything….it so much easier to care for. And it wears nicely also. Getting organic cotton is a big plus. I have also found recently that I like bamboo.

I mostly wear cotton…and that might be due to the place I live…but I like the fabric very much, soft and comfortable…

I like cotton also. Works great for the little ones! I like how cotton is an easy fabric to care for.

I think most will agree that Cotton is their favourite fabric.. it is cool in summer especially, hard wearing, and easy to care for. What’s not to like?

I love cotton, which is the coolest most comfortable material in my book. I love it.

Actually synthetic materials do tend to give a feeling of stickiness when wearing, even if you are in a cool environment. Of the natural fabrics..I like Silk too….

I like the feel of silk, however not really for wearing. It seems too hot, like it does not breathe well.
The look is beautiful though.

Silk is beautiful. I love the look as well but it’s never felt natural or comfortable to me the way cotton has.

Bamboo fibers make really nice clothes, towels and bed sheets. They are very soft, absorbent and durable.

I had recently purchased some bamboo kitchen towels. They are the best towels I have ever had. They wash well and look just as nice as when new. What I really love is how well they dry.

We have some bamboo bedsheets. They are very soft and durable. We have had them for over a year and they still look great.
