Czech and Slovak guides on breathable fabrics and pillow fills

Fashion designer Petra Kubíková, co‑founder of the Czech brand YNAKÍ, explains that natural fibres such as linen, cotton, silk, viscose and lyocell are the most breathable options for hot summer weather. She adds that blended polyester‑viscose fabrics can be a practical compromise for work dress codes or travel, while polyester satin offers a silk‑like look but lower breathability.

A Slovak consumer‑advice piece details how the longevity and comfort of pillows and duvets depend on the type and treatment of the fill. Hollow polyester fibres, often silicone‑treated, provide light insulation, good airflow and shape‑retention. The article advises choosing appropriate gram‑weight for seasonal use, caring for the product by gentle washing and occasional fluffing, and considering hybrid fills for added neck support.
