Make sure that it's FLAME RETARDANT!

Interior liners can be anything F.R. but I've found synthetics like a polyester or nylon are much more resistant to mold.

The industry generally insulates with a reflective bubble insulation between
the exterior cover and liner. Works great, lightweight, and is clean with no mold.

Lanolin found in sheep wool is naturally flame retardant so a good alternative to synthetic covers and/or insulation would be wool felt.
Jafo and Jake like this.
