Frequently Asked Questions about TENCEL™ bedding

Does thread count matter with TENCEL™ sheets?

For TENCEL™ Lyocell sheets, thread count is less relevant than with cotton. Focus on the quality of the TENCEL™ fibers and the weave (like sateen) for overall quality and comfort.

Are TENCEL™ sheets better than cotton sheets?

TENCEL™ Lyocell offers superior moisture-wicking, exceptional softness, and is produced through a more eco-friendly closed-loop process with less water and carbon emissions. While often a higher initial investment, TENCEL™ sheets are highly durable and can offer greater longevity.

TENCEL™ vs. bamboo: what's the difference?

TENCEL™ is a branded Lyocell derived from sustainably sourced eucalyptus wood pulp, known for its closed-loop production and consistent quality. Many "bamboo" sheets are bamboo viscose, often involving a more chemical-intensive process with greater environmental impact. TENCEL™ has robust third-party certifications.

Is TENCEL™ hot?

TENCEL™ Lyocell is highly breathable and has exceptional moisture-wicking properties, which actively help regulate body temperature by creating a drier sleep environment. This makes it an excellent choice for hot sleepers.
