What is Lyocell (Tencel)?
Lyocell is a plant-based fiber produced from wood pulp in a closed-loop process. In bedding it delivers a cool, silky, fluid drape, excellent breathability, strong moisture absorption and easy-care wrinkle resistance.

- Natural cool-touch — ideal for warm climates and summer ranges.
- Silky, luminous hand that photographs and merchandises well.
- Eco-friendly positioning for sustainability-focused brands.
- Available as 60s/300TC four-piece sets and as cooling summer quilts.
Where Lyocell sells best
Lyocell bedding suits premium retail, independent boutiques, sustainability-led brands and star-hotel programs across Europe, North America and Australia. Pair a 60s Tencel four-piece set with a matching Tencel cooling quilt for a complete summer story.
