German furniture company Becker Brakel has developed a material called Formfleece, which consists of polyester fiber fleece that they can mold into dimensionally-stable pieces. "It is sound-absorbing, has a warm surface that is independent of the room temperature, and a pleasant felt-like touch," the company writes.

I appreciate the tech demo here, but is the life cycle of the materials given consideration(I didn’t watch the video)? Will it be easy to recycle? Will the next iteration use natural fibers such as coconut, flax, or hemp?
