What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Cotton — Breathable and comfortable. Standard cotton softens with wear but may shrink. Look for ringspun or combed cotton for smoother, more durable fabric.
·Linen — One of the strongest natural fibers — gets softer and more beautiful with every wash. Quality linen can last 20-30 years.
·Made by Naturalmat in United Kingdom.

Longevity & Care

·Cotton — Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.
·Linen — Machine wash gentle, air dry. Wrinkles are part of the character and soften with wear. Iron on high if desired.

Sustainability

·Linen — Made from flax, which requires minimal water and no pesticides. The entire plant is used, producing zero waste.

Cost Per Use

·Cotton — Cotton is affordable but has a shorter lifespan than wool or linen. Organic and ringspun cotton cost slightly more but hold up noticeably longer.
·Linen — Linen's decades-long lifespan makes it one of the best cost-per-use fabrics available, despite higher upfront costs.
·Naturalmat is known for products that hold up over years of use — which typically means a lower cost per use than cheaper alternatives that need replacing.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Exclude). At ~15 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 7 months — and falls to roughly 11¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
