TENCEL™ is the brand name for sustainable materials created by the Lenzing AG Company. Two of the most popular fibers that proudly go for the name of TENCEL™ are lyocell and modal. They are known for their softness, breathability, and comfort.

TENCEL™ fibers are carefully manufactured from cellulose under a chemical-free, safe process. During the process, the manufacturers dissolve the wood pulp in a gentle chemical solvent and push it through an extruder to create the miraculous fibers.

Besides being natural and with a minimum impact om the environment, TENCEL™ fibers are known for their moisture-wicking and temperature regulating properties, which make them a preferred choice for sustainable fashion and bed linen.

Lyocell is an innovative, natural fabric composed of cellulose derived from wood under an environmentally responsible process. It’s a form of rayon known for its amazing properties – soft to the touch, durable, strong, moisture-wicking and amazingly breathable.

Lyocell pros:

• Sustainable – the fiber is environmentally friendly and produced from responsibly managed forests. This means it’s also biodegradable.
• Breathable – with moisture wicking properties, lyocell moves the water particles away from the body making it anti-bacterial and friendly to the skin. It’s suitable for sensitive skin as well.
• Temperature regulating – thanks to its high absorbency properties, lyocell helps keep the perfect temperature.
• Wrinkle resistant – lyocell has a smooth surface and an elegant appearance that lasts wash after wash.
• Durable – lyocell is an elastic, durable, and environmentally friendly fabric designed to last for a very long time.

Lyocell cons:

• Price – because of the special making process requirements, lyocell fabric is an expensive one.
• Care – lyocell bed sheets require extra attention.

Choosing the right bed linen is influenced by several factors. The material is one of them. Cotton and lyocell are two of the most popular fabrics for bed sheets. Choosing the right sheets for you should be easy knowing the difference between the two:

Lyocell sheets feel smooth and soft from the very beginning and after washing, while cotton sheets feel crisp after wash and need some time to soften.

Compared to cotton, lyocell is 50% more moisture absorbing which means lyocell sheets are more breathable, cooler, and friendlier to the skin than cotton. This also means that lyocell reduces the development of bacteria, needing less washes than cotton sheets.

Lyocell sheets are wrinkle resistant while cotton sheets are not, so choosing lyocell bed linen means more time for you to relax instead of spending endless hours ironing.

Thread count is an important factor to consider when choosing your bed sheets. Technically, the thread count represents the number of threads woven together in a square inch on a piece of fabric. Consumers can compare thread counts to determine the perfect bedding that’s suitable for them.

However, a higher thread count doesn’t mean higher quality, too. The quality of the fiber determines the quality of the bed sheets. High-quality fiber sheets with a lower thread count, are way softer and much more durable than poor quality fibers with a higher thread count.

Yarn count means how fine the thread is. It can tell you a lot about your bed linen comfort, strength, and durability.

Premium bed sheets have a yarn size that ranges from 40 to 100. With a 60s yarn count, the melloweasy TENCEL™ lyocell bed set is exactly what you need.

TENCEL™ branded lyocell fibers are known as the most nature-friendly fibers. They are produced under environmentally responsible processes from sustainably sourced natural raw wood that requires less water and land than cotton production.

Lyocell lasts longer than other fibers. It’s compostable and biodegradable, so it returns to nature. It maintains the environmental balance after completing its mission to offer people years of comfort and happiness.

TENCEL™ fibers are made by dissolving wood pulp in a special solvent, then drying it in a spinning process to form threads that are carefully spun into yarn.

If you want to enjoy your melloweasy TENCEL™ lyocell bed set for years to come, it needs a little extra care:

• We recommend machine washing separately your melloweasy bed set in warm water on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or line dry.
• Ironing is not necessary as lyocell is wrinkle resistant, but if needed, you can iron on low.
• To keep your sheets looking good, avoid bleaching products as they destroy lyocell fibers.
• Store your sheets in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Never store in plastic containers as this may cause discoloration.
• Keep in mind that certain skincare or hair products can cause discoloration or pilling of the pillowcase.
