You might have already found that the more your body temperature, room temperature or outdoor temperature changes, the harder it is to get a good night’s sleep. There are a number of reasons why your sleep is disturbed – you may be a natural hot sleeper, you may be pregnant, you may be going through menopause, you may experience side effects of medications, you may have other health conditions, it may be an unusually hot summer or unusually cold winter, you may sleep in a new place with poor insulation but no matter the reason the impact is the same – you feel tired, groggy and lethargic after yet another night of tossing and turning.
You may find that your cotton sheets make you feel a little bit too hot and clammy, while linen sheets don’t keep you warm enough and you are not a fan of the ‘wrinkled’ look, bamboo sheet aren’t as breathable as you’d like and are not very effective when it comes to allowing the moisture to evaporate so you feel sticky and uncomfortable, and silk sheets… well, let’s face it, they are simply not practical.
Why choose Tencel bedding?
Here comes the new option – Tencel lyocell, made from sustainably sourced eucalyptus wood pulp, an innovative fabric that is extremely breathable, with exceptional moisture absorption and an even greater ability to wick away moisture. It’s perfect for those who sweat at night, have sensitive skin and/or struggle to sleep through the night because of temperature changes.
You can find out more about Tencel in the articles What is Tencel Lyocell and what are its benefits? and ‘10 Reasons to Sleep on Tencel Bed Linen’.
But how do you know which Tencel bed linen set is the best and what should you look at when selecting the perfect Tencel lyocell bed linen set for your bedroom?
In this article, we share the key features to look at when buying Tencel bedding products to get the best value for your money.
What are the best Tencel Lyocell sheets?
There are a few aspects to look at when selecting your Tencel sheets, such as:
Is the fabric 100% Tencel or blended with other fibres?
What is the thread count?
Is the product OEKO-TEX certified?
What’s the quality of the bedding?
Are the sheets suitable to solve any particular problem, like excessive sweating at night?
Blended or unblended Tencel sheets
Tencel sheets that are 100% Tencel are not blended with any other fabric, like polyester or cotton. A product must contain at least 30% of Tencel to be considered a Tencel product.
Bedding that is not made 100% from Tencel will naturally not be able to provide the full range of benefits that Tencel provides, resulting in lower durability, breathability, softness, moisture management, which you can find highly unsatisfactory. For this reason, 100% Tencel sheets are typically better than those that contain Tencel and other fabrics.
High Thread Count Tencel Sheets
One of the metrics used to judge the quality of the bed sheets is the thread count. Higher thread often means better performance, such as enhanced softness, advanced moisture-wicking properties, better durability and stronger breathability. Most Tencel sheets have 250-300 thread count, but you can find 100% Tencel bed linen with 600 thread count at Cassvensi.
OEKO-TEX certification
Oeko-tex certified Tencel sheets are globally recognised to be free from harmful substances that may cause irritation or allergies, particularly for those with sensitive skin and babies. Oeko-tex certification ensures that the product is safe to use and is environmentally friendly, as harmful substances can also harm the environment during production and disposal.
Quality
Thread is not the only metric that matters, as also the quality of fibres, weaving technique and finishing processes also play roles in determining the overall feel and durability of the sheets.
While it may be challenging to evaluate the quality of bed linen, reliable brands are likely to offer Tencel sheets made from top-notch and eco-friendly fibres that are sustainably sourced, prioritise environmentally-friendly manufacturing practices, and uphold ethical production standards by avoiding any instances of labour exploitation.
Purpose
When searching for Tencel sheets, consider those tailored for a specific purpose. For instance, you may find sheets made from 100% Tencel, which are specifically designed to address particular concerns such as night sweats, as they maximise Tencel’s cooling, moisture management, and breathability capabilities.
