You have probably heard that TENCEL™ Lyocell is an amazing alternative when it comes to sustainable bedding. Although, you might not know exactly how it´s sustainable and how it differs from other synthetic materials. Here is your complete guide to why TENCEL™ Lyocell is the ultimate alternative when it comes to synthetic fabrics.

TENCEL™ Lyocell is a branded version of Lyocell from Lenzing Group – an Austrian company specializing in sustainably produced cellulose fibres from wood. It´s made from sustainably harvested eucalyptus wood in a closed-loop system that recycles 99% of water and solvents. It is known for being exceptionally soft, breathable, and gentle on the planet.

At Juniper, we use eco-friendly TENCEL™ Lyocell for its gentle feel and naturally temperature-regulating properties. It's the kind of fabric that makes slipping into bed feel like stepping into a boutique hotel.

While they are all plant-based fibres, you´ll find the difference in the production process.

TENCEL™ Lyocell
Produced in a closed-loop system that recycles 99.5% of water and solvents, making it stand out with its sustainability

Viscose
Also made from wood pulp, but involves stronger chemicals and has a more wasteful process than TENCEL™ Lyocell

Bamboo
Fabric that often goes through a chemically intensive process, which can impact both the environment and the final fabric quality – unless clearly marked as “closed-loop” or OEKO-TEX certified

In short, TENCEL™ Lyocell is a smarter, greener evolution of viscose!
