How to Keep Sweatshirts Soft Inside – The Beyoustyles Guide to Cozy Comfort
There’s nothing better than slipping into a super-soft sweatshirt, especially when the inside feels like fleece and hugs your skin like a cloud. But after a few washes, even your favorite cotton hoodie can lose that cozy feel. If you’re wondering how to keep sweatshirts soft inside, you’re in the right place.
At Beyoustyles, we design 100% pure cotton sweatshirts and hoodies that are made to stay soft — inside and out. This guide will show you how to care for them properly, so the comfort never fades.
🧥 Why Do Sweatshirts Get Rough Inside?
That buttery-soft interior most sweatshirts have comes from brushed fleece or loops of cotton called French terry. But poor care habits can damage these textures:
-
Washing in hot water breaks down fibers
-
Using harsh detergents leaves residues
-
Overdrying in high heat scorches the softness
-
Skipping fabric care steps can lead to lint and pilling
✅ How to Keep Sweatshirts Soft Inside – Step-by-Step
1. Wash Inside Out – Always
Turn your sweatshirt inside out before washing. This reduces friction on the inner lining and helps preserve the softness.
➡️ Our Men’s Hoodies are pre-washed cotton — still, this extra step helps them last even longer.
2. Use Cold Water + Gentle Cycle
Hot water weakens fibers, especially fleece. Stick to cold water and use the gentle or delicate cycle.
➡️ Our Women’s Hoodies are soft from day one — cold washing keeps them that way.
3. Use a Natural or Mild Detergent
Harsh chemicals and additives leave residue that stiffens fabric. Choose plant-based, fragrance-free detergents.
🧼 Bonus Tip: Add a ½ cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to naturally soften fabric and remove buildup.
4. Air Dry or Tumble Dry Low
Avoid high-heat drying. The inside of your sweatshirt is made of delicate brushed fibers that shrink and harden when overheated.
🌀 Use low tumble with wool dryer balls or lay flat to air dry.
5. Avoid Fabric Softeners
Ironically, commercial softeners coat fibers in waxy residues that reduce natural softness over time. Skip them or use vinegar instead.
🧵 Extra Tips to Keep Sweatshirts Soft Inside
-
Use a laundry bag if washing with zippers or jeans to reduce abrasion
-
Don’t overload the washer – crowding causes pilling and damage
-
Gently shake out the sweatshirt before air drying to fluff the interior
-
Store folded instead of hanging to maintain fabric shape and fluff
