Benefits of Lyocell Sheets and Bedding

Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fiber derived from repurposed wood. Wood chips from eucalyptus, birch, or oak trees are soaked in a non-toxic solvent that dissolves them to pulp, which is then extruded into cellulosic fibers that are spun into thread and woven or knit together. The result is a material that’s silky smooth to the touch with a lustrous drape and subtle sheen.

While the terms TENCEL™ and lyocell are often used interchangeably, TENCEL™ is a specific brand of lyocell. Sustainable TENCEL™ Lyocell is made exclusively from wood sourced from responsibly managed forests. The same claim cannot always be made for non-branded versions of the fiber.
