Polyester plush fabric is used for home textiles, with the core being 100% polyester fiber (polyester) that is processed by pulling, cutting, and shaking to form a fluffy and soft velvet surface. It is characterized by high insulation, ultra softness, no shedding, easy maintenance, and high cost-effectiveness. It is the absolute mainstream of autumn and winter home textiles (blankets, four piece sets, cushions, home clothes).
