Why Are Beyond Yoga Fabrics So Soft?

Quick Answer

Beyond Yoga fabrics are soft because they use ultra-fine yarns, brushed finishing, high-stretch blends, and a knitting process that prioritizes comfort over compression.
Unlike performance brands that focus on firmness and support, Beyond Yoga designs its fabrics for skin-sensory comfort.

As someone who works with mills producing similar textures, their softness is not an accident — it is engineered.

1. What Makes Beyond Yoga Fabrics Feel So Soft

Beyond Yoga’s softness comes from several technical elements:

1. Ultra-fine yarn thickness

Finer yarn = smoother surface.
This reduces friction on skin, creating a plush touch.

2. High-stretch fiber blends

Most pieces use nylon + spandex combinations that create a “second-skin” drape.

3. Brushed finishing technique

The inner surface is lightly brushed to lift the fibers — similar to suede or peach skin — giving that buttery effect.

4. Low-compression knitting

Instead of tight compression, the knit structure is relaxed, making the fabric flexible and cozy.

5. Color integration technique (Spacedye)

The heathered pattern is created by dyeing the yarns before knitting, which slightly fluffs the yarn and boosts softness.

From an OEM perspective, this softness is intentional and requires precise machinery.

2. The Science Behind Spacedye Softness

Here’s a breakdown of what makes Spacedye unique:

A. Yarn Properties

• denier: ultra-low
• elasticity: high
• density: medium-low

B. Knit Structure

• 4-way stretch
• breathable loops
• consistent tension to avoid stiffness

C. Surface Treatment

• brushed finish
• anti-pill washing
• softener treatment applied during final processing

D. Comfort Priorities

Unlike brands emphasizing performance compression, Beyond Yoga optimizes:

• warmth
• softness
• drape
• body-contouring without squeeze

This is why so many customers describe the fabric as “addictive.”
