The Benefits of Tencel - Cooler, Softer, Greener

Ofcourse, TENCEL™ Lyocell can be used and crafted differently – and Juniper’s is something special.

1. Percale weave
Our bedding is made from TENCEL™ Lyocell made in a percale weave, which in combination with the material creates a unique feeling. Unlike most percale, it´s not crispy, but instead unbelievably soft to the touch and matt to the finish. Percale is a one-over-one-under weave that allows air to flow freely through the fabric, keeping you cool all night.

2. Timeless design

Instead of traditional pillowcase folds, we use a hotel wing closure for a clean, tailored look that’s both elegant and practical. It’s these subtle touches that elevate your entire bedroom experience.

Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fabric made from dissolved wood pulp — most commonly eucalyptus, but also beech and birch. The production process uses a closed-loop solvent spinning method that recovers and reuses over 99% of the solvent, making it one of the most environmentally responsible textile manufacturing processes available. TENCEL™ is the best-known brand of lyocell, produced by the Austrian company Lenzing. The resulting fiber is naturally smooth, breathable, and moisture-wicking — ideal for bedding that stays cool and comfortable throughout the night.

For many sleepers, yes. Lyocell absorbs moisture 50% more efficiently than cotton, which means it pulls sweat away from your body and releases it into the air faster. It is also smoother at the fiber level, reducing friction against skin and hair. Unlike cotton, lyocell is naturally resistant to bacterial growth, so it stays fresher between washes. The main trade-off is price — lyocell bedding typically costs more than standard cotton — but it competes directly with long-staple cotton and Egyptian cotton on softness and durability while being significantly more sustainable.
