But the material has the ability to roll after washing and has little resistance to high temperatures. Polyester does not slip and is resistant to high temperatures. Microfiber polyester retains moisture well, pleasant to the body, well retains heat.
The presence of spandex additives in the fabric makes the linen more elastic. It gently adheres to the body and does not irritate it.
