Comfort and ease
Comfort, fit, ease of movement and crease recovery are imparted by stretch fibres.
Lycra & Dow XLA are branded elastic fibres.
Mechanical crimped yarns from syntjetic fibres provide a gentier comfort stretch.
Power stretch for sportswear assists performance.
Medical applications include assisting blood flow and reducing burn scarring.
Comfort and ease are the keys to senior clothing.
Comfort and adaptive clothes first made their appearance in nursing homes. Caregivers found it helpful when dressing someone who is bedridden or uses a wheelchair. These outfits are also great for people in the nursing home for rehab – from a stroke or broken hip. They’re easier for staff to dress residents quickly. They’re also the perfect clothing for seniors to pull on or up when they’re first learning to care for themselves again after an illness or injury. Now the trend has branched out to assisted living and memory care facilities as well.
