Plush, stretchy fabrics such as fleece or minky are suggested. The variations of fleece and minky mentioned to the left would work well, but really any plushy fabric with a bit of stretch on the cross-wise grain would be well-suited.

a bit of stretch on the cross-wise grain
trochę luzu/elastyczności na (splocie) wątku / na splatających się nitkach wątku

Crosswise Grain (Weft) The line of the fabric at right angles to the Selvedge. This the cut edge of the fabric when it comes off the bolt. The crosswise grain of woven fabric has more stretch, and therefore the cross-wise grain usually goes around the body, and the lengthwise grain goes up/down the body. - https://www.dresspatternmaking.com/other/terminology/crosswi...

In woven fabric, selvages are the edges that run parallel to the warp (the longitudinal threads that run the entire length of the fabric), and are created by the weft thread looping back at the end of each row. In knitted fabrics, selvages are the unfinished yet structurally sound edges that were neither cast on nor bound off.[3][4] Historically, the term selvage applied only to loom woven fabric, though now can be applied to flat-knitted fabric.

The crosswise grain of a piece of fabric is a term that describes the threads that run perpendicular to the length of fabric as it comes off the bolt, the rectangular piece of cardboard that quilting fabric is wrapped around. In other words, crosswise grain flows across the yardage from selvage to selvage

For woven textiles, grain refers to the orientation of the weft and warp threads. The three named grains are straight grain, cross grain, and the bias grain. In sewing, a pattern piece can be cut from fabric in any orientation, and the chosen grain or orientation will affect the way the fabric hangs and stretches and thus the fit of a garment. Generally speaking a piece is said to be cut on a particular grain when the longest part of the pattern or the main seams of the finished piece are aligned with that grain. Non-woven materials such as felt, interfacing or leather do not have a grain.
