How does the filament type (continuous vs. staple) affect polyester loungers’ texture?

The texture of polyester loungers is significantly influenced by the type of filament used in their fabric—whether continuous or staple. Continuous filament polyester creates a smooth, sleek surface with a uniform appearance, often lending a luxurious feel. In contrast, staple fiber polyester, made from shorter, spun fibers, results in a softer, more textured fabric resembling natural materials like cotton.

Continuous filament fabrics are durable and resistant to pilling, making them ideal for high-use loungers. However, they may feel less breathable. Staple fibers, while cozier, can be prone to fuzzing over time but offer better airflow. The choice between the two depends on desired comfort, aesthetics, and maintenance preferences.

Ultimately, understanding these differences helps consumers select loungers that align with their texture and performance expectations.
