Modal is a wonderfully soft breathable fabric made by turning Beech tree wood pulp into a strong yet soft closed loop cellulose fibre.

The pulp is a bi-product of regenerative & renewable Beech trees which makes Modal completely biodegradable. The resulting fabric is wonderfully strong yet twice as soft as cotton.

Modal is perfect for sleepwear, being beautifully light and soft next to your skin. It has a smooth surface which drapes and flows around your body beautifully.

Modal has natural breathability with 50% more moisture absorption than cotton so you can sleep comfortably. It is not prone to wrinkling or pilling, & performs well in the laundry, & as our garments are pre-washed shrinkage should be minimal.

Some of our sleepwear range is Modal and some is 100% Cotton At Wallace Cotton, we love using modal by adding our seasonal prints to make sleepwear which is far too beautiful to hide under the sheets!
