What is TENCEL Lyocell? Tencel vs Lyocell?
At its core, TENCEL™ is a branded lyocell fibres created by Austrian textile company Lenzing AG. So we can say that TENCEL™ is a type of lyocell material, derived from sustainably sourced eucalyptus trees. The production process is eco-friendly, utilising a closed-loop system that recycles water and solvents, ensuring minimal environmental impact. It worth mentioning that TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are made with at least 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption compared to generic lyocell and modal fibers. This means that when you choose TENCEL™ Lyocell bed sheets, you're not just investing in comfort, you're also making a choice that benefits the planet.
The Silky Soft Touch
Imagine slipping into bed after a long day, enveloped in sheets that feel like a gentle caress against your skin. That’s the magic of 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell. Known for its exceptional softness, this fabric is often compared to silk but offers even more benefits. Unlike cotton, which can feel stiff initially, TENCEL™ is smooth from the moment you use it. Many users report that it feels softer than cotton and even more breathable than traditional fabrics.
Breathability and Moisture Management
For those who struggle with night sweats or simply want to stay cool while sleeping, TENCEL™ Lyocell excels in breathability. The unique structure of lyocell fibers allows for excellent moisture-wicking properties, meaning it can absorb moisture more effectively than cotton—up to 50% more quickly! This feature ensures that you remain dry and comfortable throughout the night, regardless of the temperature outside. In contrast to lyocell vs cotton, while both materials are breathable, TENCEL™ offers superior moisture management thanks to its nanofibrils that transport moisture away from the skin. This technology not only helps regulate body temperature but also reduces bacteria growth without any chemical additives, making it a healthier option for your bedding.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
As we become more conscious of our environmental footprint, choosing sustainable materials has never been more important. TENCEL™ Lyocell is biodegradable and produced with minimal water usage compared to traditional cotton farming. This makes it a fantastic choice for eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their impact on the planet. When discussing lyocell vs cotton, it’s clear that while cotton is a natural fiber, its production often involves significant water consumption and pesticide use. In contrast, TENCEL™ is derived from fast-growing eucalyptus trees that require less water and no pesticides, making it an environmentally friendly alternative.
Durability - Built to Last
Another significant advantage of TENCEL™ Lyocell bed sheets is their durability. Unlike many fabrics that wear down over time, TENCEL™ maintains its integrity through repeated washes. It resists wrinkling and fading better than cotton or even modal fabrics, ensuring your sheets look fresh and vibrant for years to come.
The Comfort of Hypoallergenic Properties
For those with sensitive skin or allergies, TENCEL™ Lyocell offers peace of mind with its hypoallergenic properties. The smooth surface of the fabric minimizes irritation and discomfort often associated with rougher materials like some cotton varieties. This makes TENCEL™ an excellent choice for anyone seeking a comfortable night’s sleep without worrying about skin reactions.

- machine wash in the gentle mode and cold water at or below 30°C.
- Do not dry clean, do not soak, do not tumble dry.
- Use gentle detergent and do not use any kind of bleaching agent.
- You can iron your TENCEL bed sheets if needed, but remember to use low heat.
