This fiber is referred to in the industry as elastane products or spandex. Elastane has been produced since the late 1950s. Many sports items as well as home textiles can be found, such as elastane mattresses, elastane fitted sheets, or elastane bed linen made of jersey. For clothing, elastane is used for stretch items, such as jeans or sportswear. A popular application for elastane is fitted sheets for mattresses and fitted sheets for mattresses. A fabric is not made up of 100% elastane, but is always mixed with another material, so that the fiber of one material is combined with the material of the other fiber to fully combine both positive properties. Elastane is mixed with the following material.

  • polyamide material

Jersey is soft and has high elasticity. The material consists of a cotton-viscose blend or sometimes also contains a silk or wool component. Jersey is used for home textiles, clothing (established in the 1920s by Coco Chanel), and bed linen. Thus, jersey products are very popular for sleep items in the bedroom due to their high comfort quality. In the past, jersey was only made from cotton, which is no longer exclusively the case today. Pure cotton jersey is preferred in ecological natural bedding, such as for fitted sheets, bed linen, bed sheets, and other bedding. Jersey fabrics are differentiated by knitting types, resulting in five different categories:

  • Single jersey
  • Double jersey

Jersey fits into any bedroom, has excellent quality as natural bedding, and feels soft against the skin.
