About Our Tencel Sheets & Pillowcases

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to buying a new set of linens. With so many materials and styles to choose from, some options will suit you better than others. Tencel sheets and pillowcases are for you if you want a feel that’s cooler than cotton and luxuriously soft.

Tencel is a brand name describing rayon or lyocell. It’s a fairly new innovation in sheets and pillowcases, being first developed in 1972. Rather than being woven out of fibers from the cotton plant, Tencel fibers are created from the pulp of eucalyptus wood. These fibers are then woven together to create an extremely strong, yet incredibly smooth, fabric that’s naturally cool to the touch.
