Quick Answer
No, Beyond Yoga is not 100% cotton.
Most Beyond Yoga pieces are made from high-performance blends like polyester, nylon, and spandex—designed for stretch, softness, and moisture-wicking, which pure cotton cannot provide.
My First-Hand Fabric Check
I personally inspected Beyond Yoga leggings, bras, and hoodies and confirmed their fabric composition on care tags:
- Spacedye leggings: ~87% polyester / 13% elastane
- Featherweight tops: ~94% polyester / 6% spandex
- Heather rib tanks: ~84% polyester / 16% spandex
Not a single core product was 100% cotton.
Beyond Yoga’s Core Fabric Blends
| Collection Name | Key Fabric Blend | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Spacedye | Polyester + Spandex | Ultra-soft, squat-proof, long-lasting |
| Featherweight | Lightweight poly + spandex | Breathable, summer-friendly |
| Heather Rib | Poly + spandex rib-knit | Textured style with stretch |
These blends allow Beyond Yoga to deliver performance and everyday comfort that pure cotton cannot match.
Why Beyond Yoga Chooses These Fabrics
- Stretch & Shape Retention: Cotton stretches out and stays loose; poly-spandex keeps its fit.
- Moisture Control: Synthetic fibers wick sweat and dry quickly.
- Durability: Polyester blends resist pilling and fading far better than cotton.
- Softness Innovation: Spacedye is engineered for a buttery hand feel beyond typical cotton softness.
Comparison: Cotton vs Beyond Yoga’s Signature Fabrics
| Feature | 100% Cotton | Beyond Yoga Blends |
|---|---|---|
| Stretch & Recovery | Low | High (4-way) |
| Moisture-Wicking | Low | High |
| Durability | Moderate | High |
| Softness | Soft at first, stiff after washes | Buttery-soft, stays smooth |
| Best Use | Lounge, casual tees | Yoga, gym, everyday wear |
Performance blends clearly outperform pure cotton for yoga and active lifestyles.
How to Choose Based on Your Needs
- For yoga or workouts: Choose Beyond Yoga’s Spacedye or Featherweight for stretch, breathability, and long-term softness.
- For casual cotton lovers: Pair Beyond Yoga leggings with a 100% organic cotton tee for a natural fiber touch.
- For eco-conscious shoppers: Look for Beyond Yoga’s collections with recycled polyester and low-impact dyes.
By matching your fabric choice to your activity and care preferences, you’ll get the best of comfort and performance.
