Not sure which is right?
If you're deciding between two styles, think about your climate and your guest. Cooler property, or want maximum cozy? Fleece. Spa, pool, or wet areas? Ribbed terry. Warm climate or a modern, lighter feel? Waffle. Want a natural, sustainable amenity? Eco linen. Whichever you choose, the build underneath is the same, the same true-USA sizing and 1/4-inch cushioned sole.

Which slipper material is best for spas?
Ribbed terry is the natural choice for spas, pools, and wet areas because it's absorbent. Waffle is a good lighter alternative for spas that want a more modern, breathable feel.

Fleece. Its thick, soft pile holds warmth well, making it ideal for cold-climate properties and cozy settings.
Do the different materials cost different amounts?

Can I order more than one material?
Yes. You can order multiple styles as separate lines in one order. Each style and each size carries its own 500-pair minimum, so every style-and-size line needs its own 500 pairs. Two styles in one size each means 500 of each (1,000 total).
