Tencel® is an all-natural (not synthetic) fabric. Tencel® fibers are made and spun from sustainably sourced natural raw material wood.

Tencel® is not toxic, and it is among the most eco-friendly fabrics in the world. Tencel requires less energy, land, and water to make than cotton. In fact, industrially farmed cotton can use up to 20 times more water than Tencel®. And because Tencel is an all-natural material, it’s also biodegradable. Tencel® comes from sustainably sourced natural raw material wood. The trees used are sustainable, regenerate quickly, and grow without the use of herbicides or pesticides. Plus the trees for our Tencel® fabric come from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and PEFC. So they are managed using the latest sustainability practices. Making Tencel® is also a “closed-loop” process. That means the process water and 99.6% of the oil-based solvents that turn the raw material wood into a fiber are recycled and used again. So creating Tencel® fabric produces virtually no waste. That’s why Tencel® won the prestigious “technology award for sustainable development” at the EU’s European Awards for the Environment. And the process to produce Tencel® has also been granted over 100 patents around the globe.

Since TENCEL lyocell is a completely natural fabric, you may notice slight pilling with initial use. This can be reduced or removed during the washing and drying process when following the washing instructions. Slight pilling is normal for natural fibers, especially in response to friction and isn't a fault or defect. To prevent excessive pilling, we suggest going to bed with soft clothing. To prevent friction from dry skin and rough patches on feet, which could cause pilling, try applying moisturizer to affected areas.

Tencel® is a proprietary fabric that requires a more sophisticated manufacturing process than cotton. This increases the cost of the material. But when you look at all the advantages of Tencel®, most people find that it’s more than worth the additional investment. After all, sleep is arguably the most important thing you can do for your health. It affects everything including your weight, heart health, brain function, and memory. And our premium Tencel® sheets are softer, more comfortable, and more breathable than cotton.
