Tencel Fiber

A Natural Choice for Comfort and Sustainability

What is TENCEL™ fiber?

TENCEL™ fibers are a high comfort material made from wood, a natural renewable raw material sourced from responsibly managed forests and plantations and are manufactured using resource efficient production methods.

Derived from sustainably harvested wood pulp, like eucalyptus and beech wood, which grows more quickly and require less water, they are easier and more environmentally efficient and sustainable.

Why We Got Started

The Sleep On Green journey started on Memorial Day weekend 2007, when our son Christian was involved in a horrific motorcycle accident which caused him to be bedridden for several months.

At the time, Christian had recently purchased a memory foam mattress, but it wasn’t until he was confined to it, that we all realized it was doing much more harm than good. We quickly understood that he needed a mattress that not only provided the proper support necessary for his back, but also a mattress that was breathable and made with natural materials to prevent boils and bed sores.

Before our son's accident we had no idea what healthy sleep or clean sleep meant. Like many of us, we thought a mattress was a mattress, and as long as it seemed ‘comfy’, that’s all that mattered. It wasn’t until then that we had a wakeup call as we started to do some research and learned how memory foam mattresses as well as conventional mattresses can potentially make you sick.

This life changing moment spurred us into action, it was with great urgency that we searched for a “natural” mattress, one that would support Christian during his long road to recovery.

Source and Production

TENCEL™ is a premium, eco-friendly fiber known for its impressive performance qualities. It is produced using an innovative closed-loop process that prioritizes sustainability. This process begins with wood pulp, which is dissolved and transformed into a solution. The solution is then pumped through spinnerets to create filaments, which are cut into staple fibers. These fibers are subsequently washed, dried, opened, and pressed into bales. Remarkably, over 99.8% of the solvent used is recovered and reused, resulting in minimal waste.

The production process mirrors traditional paper manufacturing in its initial stage, where wood pulp is produced. In the second stage, the pulp is dissolved, and cellulosic fibers are regenerated to achieve the ideal fiber shape, length, and diameter for textile applications. This innovative approach not only ensures exceptional quality but also supports environmentally conscious practices.

The Respect For The Planet Drives Us

Exceptional Softness And Comfort:
TENCEL™ fibers are naturally smooth and soft, reducing irritation and making them ideal for sensitive skin.

Enhanced Breathability And Moisture Control:
TENCEL™ wicks moisture away from the body, keeping hot sleepers dry and comfortable. Its moisture control also helps reduce bacterial growth, ensuring a fresher, cleaner surface for mattresses and pillows.

Temperature Regulation:
Natural breathability, helping to regulate body temperature for optimal comfort. They keep the sleeping surface cool and refreshing in warm conditions while remaining cozy and warm in cooler temperatures, ensuring a restful night’s sleep year-round.

Eco-Friendly Production:
The fibers is produced through a closed-loop process that recycles water, reducing waste, carbon emissions by 50%, and water usage. Sourced from fast-growing eucalyptus and beech trees, it offers a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional fibers.

Durability And Resilience:
TENCEL™ fibers retain their shape and softness, resisting pilling and wear to keep your bedding luxurious and durable over time.

Hypoallergenic Qualities:
With its moisture-wicking properties, TENCEL™ naturally resists bacterial growth and dust mites, creating a healthier, hypoallergenic sleep environment — ideal for those with allergies or sensitivities.

For Our Future

Incorporating TENCEL™ into our mattress and pillow covers elevates comfort, durability, and sustainability. Known for its silky softness and moisture-wicking properties, TENCEL™ enhances the sleep experience while maintaining its shape and quality over time. By choosing TENCEL™, we proudly uphold our commitment to offering products that are not only luxurious but also environmentally responsible, ensuring a better night's sleep with a smaller ecological footprint.
