Nothing feels as comforting as a good night’s sleep, especially after a stressful day. And, of course, it helps when the bed is made with fresh, clean bedding sheets that are soft and snuggly. This is where TENCELā„¢ bed sheets come in.Ā 

If you have been navigating the world of bedding for some time, you must have heard about TENCELā„¢. One of the most sought-after in the textile industry, this cellulosicĀ fibre produces silky, soft, breathable, and most importantly, eco-friendly sheets. It’s for these exceptional reasons and more that TENCELā„¢ deserves the attention it’s getting.

Before we dig deep into all the factors that make it so popular, let’s first understand what it really is and how TENCELā„¢ bedding fabric is manufactured.

Ā 

What Is TENCELā„¢?

What Is TENCEL
Image FromĀ TENCELā„¢

Ā 

TENCELā„¢ is a general brand name created by an Austrian fabric company, Lenzing, as a flagship for their Lyocell, Viscose, and Modal fibres. It's worth noting that TENCELā„¢ has been around since the 1980s. And there have been so many modifications to ensure that it provides the best feel when used for creating bedding sheets.

TENCELā„¢ Lyocell fibresĀ are manufactured from the wood pulp of eucalyptus trees. Because it’s made from natural resources but processed with chemicals and water, its fibres are semi-synthetic. Despite its semi-synthetic production process, TENCELā„¢ maintains an eco-friendly production standard.

Ā 

TENCELā„¢ fabric is widely known for its amazing properties. These include softness, breathability, durability, environmental compatibility,Ā colour retention, and an anti-bacterial nature. Let’s take a look at the benefits of using TENCELā„¢ in detail.Ā 

Ā 

Hypoallergenic

Ā 

The term ā€œhypoallergenicā€ is mainly used to describe products that are less likely to cause allergies to their users. Allergies caused by bedsheets can be experienced in many forms, including frequent sneezing, waking up to reddish, itchy spots on your skin, and fever in severe cases. These can be attributed to the irritants, roughness, and accumulated dust mites on bed sheets.

Ā 

TENCELā„¢ bedsheets, on the other hand, are designed to effectively combat allergy-causing substances. The threads are tightly woven to prevent the proliferation and breeding of dust mites and other harmful bacteria.Ā 

Ā This is one huge reason people have been gravitating toward TENCELā„¢ over the years. It is one of thoseĀ high-qualityĀ materials that are perfect for people who prioritise health. Being hypoallergenic has made it immensely popular among people with sensitive skin and those suffering from acne, eczema, or psoriasis.

Ā 

Moisture Absorption

Ā 

If you are a hot sleeper, then TENCELā„¢ is everything you’ve been looking for. Night sweats could result in a bacteria colony on your skinĀ and canĀ interrupt your sleep.Ā

Ā 

Apart from being comfortable, these fibresĀ are designed to wick out excess moisture as you sleep. TENCELā„¢ is among the top bed sheet materials that keep you cool while also preventing the production of bacteria.

It is also more popular than other fabrics as its moisture-wicking properties do not cause skin irritation. While it absorbs moisture, it’s still incredibly soft and lets the skin breathe.

Ā 

Temperature Regulation

Ā 

When you hear someone speak of the climate in Singapore, the first thing that comes to mind is how hot it can be, especially during the summer. The discomfort that comes with extreme heat or cold can be irritating.Ā

Ā 

TENCELā„¢ bedsheets are one of the well-known cooling sheets with excellent thermoregulation. You can count on sleeping comfortably regardless of the climate. And together with our TENCELā„¢ Lyocell duvet, you’ll be able to sleep cool and dry on hot nights, and warm and snug on cold nights or under air conditioning.Ā Ā 

Ā As we’ve mentioned before, Lyocell TENCELā„¢ sheets are made withĀ fibresĀ from the Eucalyptus tree. When the Lyocell celluloseĀ fibresĀ  absorb sweat, your body's natural thermal regulating mechanism kicks in. As a result, you stay refreshed and dry throughout the night.Ā 

Ā 

Durability

Ā 

TENCELā„¢ sheets can be used for a very long time without losing any of their known properties. So long as they are properly cared for, following the washing and drying instructions, the fabrics can last for years. TENCELā„¢ is designed to provide a very soft and silky feeling right from the start. So you don't have to wash for some time to get that smooth and comfortable feeling.Ā

While some
Egyptian cotton bed sheets are known to have strong and long fibres, this only comes with some of the top-quality, pricey sheets. However, every TENCELā„¢ sheet features these advantages and is far more eco-friendly than cotton.

Ā 

Biodegradability

Ā 

By now we know that TENCELā„¢ fibresĀ are produced from wood pulp. Pulp is a lignocellulosic material that contains a significant amount of natural cellulose. Bed sheets produced with wood pulp are easily decomposable by bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers.

Ā 

Since they are biodegradable, TENCELā„¢ sheets do not contribute to eco-waste and environmental poisoning. Non-toxic solvents are used and any water and solvents used in the process can be reused. In fact, some biorefinery products, such as acetic acid, furfural, sodium carbonate, and xylose are also obtained during production. So they are all-around efficient in both production and disposal.

People in this day and age are getting more and more environmentally conscious and rightfully so. One of the biggest reasons TENCELā„¢ is growing in popularity is that it’s not only sustainable but also comes from ethical production in comparison to other similar materials such as silk.Ā 

Ā 

Colours Retention

Ā

Ā 

It’s heartbreaking to see your favourite sheets losing theirĀ colour and sheen. TENCELā„¢, however, is famous for its colourĀ retention.Ā 

ColoursĀ are deeply embedded in theĀ fibresĀ with dope dying and retain their vibrancy for much longer than traditionally dyed fabric. So you don’t have to worry about your TENCELā„¢ sheets fading and breaking your bank by buying new sheets every few months.Ā 

Ā 

Wrinkle-Resistant

Ā 

None of us has the time and energy it takes to iron bed sheets. But we also wouldn't want a wrinkled bed to greet us after a busy day at work. TENCELā„¢ can rid you of this enormous task. TENCELā„¢ is made up of nanofibrils — very tiny but strongĀ fibresĀ that do a great job of absorbing moisture and ultimately making the sheets less prone to wrinkles.Ā

Plus, crease-free sheets can make your space look more put together. By choosing TENCELā„¢ sheets, unlike sheets that are intentionally made to be wrinkle-proof and contain harmful chemicals, you can enjoy the benefits of these naturally
wrinkle-resistant sheets without the hassle of ironing, steaming, or spraying.

This adds to the growing popularity of TENCELā„¢ among homemakers. Who wouldn’t want effortless and unbelievably easy-to-care sheets that don’t require hours of ironing?

Ā 

TENCELā„¢ SheetĀ Vs Other Fabrics

Ā 

When it comes to bedding, the market is brimming with options. If you’re having a hard time choosing the best bed sheet in Singapore that matches your needs and preferences, let these comparisons help you make up your mind.

Ā 

Cotton Bed Sheets Vs TENCELā„¢ Bed SheetsĀ 

Ā 

TENCEL vs cotton fabric side by side

Ā 

When it comes to the list of popular luxury sheet materials, cotton and TENCELā„¢ always top the list. Cotton sheets are made from raw cotton, blended, and spun into comfy covers.Ā 

Although cotton has been extensively used for a long time in making bedding sets, it is found lacking in a few areas compared to the bed sheet TENCELā„¢.Ā 

TENCELā„¢ bed sheets are at least 50% more moisture-wicking than cotton and have a soft feel to them. Although cotton bed sheets become softer with use, this is a deal-breaker, especially if you want to start enjoying the softness right away.Ā 

Long, thin, and strong fibresĀ are very essential for producing a bedsheet of top-notch quality and durability. Only a few, like the Pima cotton bed sheets in Singapore and Egyptian cotton bed sheets in Singapore, are made of this type of cotton fibre. Thus, a wide range of cotton-made bedsheets cannot compare with the durability of TENCELā„¢ sheets.

Ā 

Silk SheetsĀ Vs TENCELā„¢ Sheets

Ā

Ā 

Both silk and TENCELā„¢ are anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic.Ā Silk pillows are especially ideal for those who are acne-prone as they are gentler on the skin and prevent hair damage.Ā 

However, buying silk bed sheets in Singapore may not be a great idea as they are not the most breathable fabric. Caring for it is not easy either. When we compare TENCELā„¢ to silk, the former is known to be machine washable and more sustainable.

Ā 

Bamboo Sheets Vs TENCELā„¢ SheetsĀ 

Ā

Ā 

Having a lot of similarities, these two are both hypoallergenic, durable, smooth, and comfortable.Ā 

But in terms of the differences between TENCELā„¢ and bamboo, one particular characteristic is absorbency. Bamboo sheets are not as absorbent as TENCELā„¢. They’re also not wrinkle-resistant or able to withstand harsh washing.

Ā 

IsĀ TENCELā„¢ Worth The Hype?

Ā 

Yes, TENCELā„¢ is one of the strongest contenders among so many other bedding options - and for the most impressive reasons. It has especially grown in popularity over the past decade - thanks to its so many great features.Ā 

From being hypoallergenic and pleasantly soft to being exceptional at moisture -absorption and temperature regulation, this natural fabric basically has everything you’d want in your bed sheets.Ā 

Its durability, biodegradability, colour-retention, and wrinkle-resistance further add to its popularity. No wonder it’s a topĀ favouriteĀ among those perusing the bedding world.
