WHAT IS MODAL FABRIC? A COMPLETE GUIDE.

If you're looking to add a touch of luxury to your loungewear and nightwear collection, modal fabric is the perfect choice. This premium-quality fabric brings a new level of comfort, softness, durability, and breathability - making it an excellent option for both lounging and sleeping.

In this guide, we'll explain what modal fabric is, its benefits, and why it's the fabric you'll want to invest in for your sleepwear collection. And if you're ready to indulge in ultimate comfort, take a look at our full nightwear collection.

WHAT IS MODAL FABRIC?

Modal fabric is a type of rayon made from cellulose derived from beech tree pulp. It's known for its silky smooth texture and luxurious feel, making it a popular choice for nightwear and loungewear. While it shares the softness of silk, modal is more durable, lightweight, and less prone to pilling, making it a lasting addition to your wardrobe.

Not only does modal feel incredible against your skin, but it's also a sustainable option. It's biodegradable and can decompose in as little as 20 years, making it an eco-friendly alternative to more synthetic fabrics on the market. Its moisture-wicking properties make sure that you stay cool and comfortable, so you can enjoy all the cosiness during colder months without turning into a human radiator when the heating kicks in or while you’re bundled up under blankets during movie night.

IS MODAL FABRIC STRETCHY?

Yes, modal fabric is naturally stretchy, which only adds to its comfort. It offers flexibility and freedom of movement, hugging your body softly without being restrictive. This makes it perfect for pyjamas and loungewear, allowing you to relax in style and comfort. The amount of stretch can vary depending on whether the garment is made from pure modal or a blend of materials, but you can assure softness and breathability regardless.

MODAL FABRIC PROS AND CONS

Modal fabric offers a bunch of benefits - from aesthetics to ethics - but when it comes to choosing fabrics, it all comes down to personal preference. Here's a quick rundown of modal fabric pros and cons to help you decide if modal is your perfect match for nightwear:

Pros:
● Buttery soft: Modal is soft to the touch and drapes beautifully, giving your nightwear an indulgent feel.
● Durable and long-lasting: Modal resists pilling, which holds up better over time than more delicate fabrics.
● Eco-friendly: Modal is biodegradable, making it a great choice for environmentally conscious shoppers.
● Breathable and airy: Its moisture-wicking properties help you stay cool and comfortable, especially in warm weather.

Cons:
● Lightweight fabric: If you prefer heavier fabrics, modal might feel too light for your taste. For a weighted yet cosy feel, consider Boux Avenue's cotton nightwear or satin nightwear as alternatives.
