1. An insulation product, comprising:
a first layer comprising one or more first polymer-coated regions; and
a first continuous paper sheet formed into a first plurality of flexible loops on the first layer, at least one flexible loop of the first plurality of flexible loops attached to the first layer at the one or more first polymer-coated regions when formed, and the first plurality of flexible loops defining a first plurality of air channels that extend in a direction that is substantially perpendicular with a machine direction of the insulation product,
wherein a take up factor of the first continuous paper sheet to the first layer is greater than 1:1,
wherein the first continuous paper sheet has a basis weight of about 18 lbs. per 3000 ft.2 to about 75 lbs. per 3000 ft2, and
wherein a first axis, perpendicular to lengths of the first plurality of air channels and parallel to a thickness of the insulation product, passes through (i) one of the one or more first polymer-coated regions of the first layer and (ii) the first continuous paper sheet at least three times.
