One hurdle that you many face is understanding the differences between different types of fabrics, particularly Tencel Sheets and Cotton Sheets. Different types of sheets are suitable for different types of sleepers, which is why it’s imperative that you select the right type of sheets.

What are Tencel Sheets?

Tencel sheets are made from the pulp of the Eucalyptus Plant, which makes them have an extra cooling effect while you sleep. This pulp is dissolved using a chemical formula, which is pushed through small holes and threads are formed, the fabrics of which then form into ‘Tencel Lyocell’, that is assembled through wood grown in a very sustainable manner to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible. The temperatures of these sheets can be easily regulated. Tencel Sheets have the following key properties:

  • Smooth and silky
  • Extra cooling effect
