Linen is strong and has a high luster. While its lack of resiliency may cause wrinkling, crease-resistant finishes are available. Wool is a strong fiber with good insulating properties. It absorbs dye well and is soil resistant. Wool is typically more expensive and may attract moths if not treated.
Polyester is strong, wrinkle resistant, and soil resistant.
However, it can be difficult to dye, resulting in a more limited choice of colors. Olefin is a good insulator and resists abrasion, stains and sunlight. It is also easy to care for.
