Yes, though the high quality cotton used in Japan can be quite expensive (we had a lot of cotton from old futons at our home, we had to throw a lot away to make room. That stuff was very expensive when those futons were (hand-)made).
The thing about wool is that it insulates even when it's damp, while cotton simply collapses as far as insulation is concerned unless it's completely dry.
- JohnFen 3y agoAbsolutely. I'm a huge fan of wool (mostly because no other material will do when I'm camping in middle of the wilderness). But the cost of it makes it difficult for a lot of people to afford. In any case, my point really is that the right material to use in production depends on what your target market is. If you're aiming to sell at a more affluent crowd, then wool all the way! But you might also be aiming to sell at a larger, less affluent group that makes wool the wrong material due to its cost. There's no absolute right or wrong here, only what's right or wrong for the market you're trying to address.
