Fabrics for therapeutic skin care bedding

A fabric comprising:

• a woven fabric having warp yarns and filling yarns woven together in a plain weave to provide a pill resistant fabric having identical surfaces in both sides thereof;
• the warp yarns being 100% continuous filament 70 denier, 48 filament, textured nylon yarn making up at least 40% by weight of the fabric, wherein all of the filaments therein have round cross sections;
• the filling yarns being up to about 60% by weight of the fabric of continuous filament 75 denier, 36 filament, textured polyester making up the remainder of the weight of the fabric, wherein all of the filaments therein have non-round filament cross sections that are star shaped or clover leaf shaped;
• and
• wherein the woven fabric is finished such that the woven fabric has an elongation greater than about 30% as measured in accordance with ASTM D5034-95.

A fabric comprising:

• a woven fabric having warp yarns and filling yarns woven together in a plain weave to provide a pill resistant fabric having identical surfaces on both sides thereof;
• one of the warp or filling yarns being 100% continuous filament nylon making up at least 40% by weight of the fabric, wherein all of the filaments therein have round cross sections;
• the other of the warp or filling yarns being continuous filament polyester or nylon and making up the remainder of the weight of the fabric, wherein all of the filaments therein have non-round cross sections;
• and
• wherein the woven fabric is finished such that the woven fabric has an elongation greater than about 30% as measured in accordance with ASTM D5034-95.

A fabric comprising:

• a woven fabric having warp yarns and filling yarns, wherein the warp yarns are about 30 denier to 100 denier, and the filling yarns are about 30 denier to 100 denier, wherein the warp yarns and filling yarns are woven together in a plain weave to provide a pill resistant fabric having identical surfaces on both sides thereof;
• one of the warp or filling yarns being 100% continuous filament nylon making up at least 40% by weight of the fabric, wherein all of the filaments therein have round cross sections;
• the other of the warp or filling yarns being continuous filament polyester or nylon making up the remainder of the weight of the fabric, wherein all of the filaments therein have star shaped cross sections, and wherein the continuous filament warp or filling yarns with star shaped filament cross sections are configured such that adjacent filaments form wicking channels;
• and
• wherein the woven fabric is finished such that the woven fabric has an elongation greater than about 30% as measured in accordance with ASTM D5034-95.
