After a day in the cold, it is time to rest. But sleep quality does not depend solely on tiredness: the materials in your bed linen play an essential role in temperature regulation and nighttime comfort.

Sheets, pyjamas or pillowcases: between cotton, a timeless material, and Tencel Lyocell, an innovative fibre with thermoregulatory properties, the choice can transform your nights.

So, which material should you choose for comfortable, restorative sleep? Discover the differences between cotton and Tencel Lyocell.

Cotton, natural and timeless

Natural, soft and easy to care for, cotton remains an essential benchmark for bed linen. However, it has a high absorption capacity: moisture can therefore remain in contact with the skin and create a clammy feeling during the night.

From an environmental perspective, conventional cultivation also requires significant quantities of water and pesticides, which is driving the search for more responsible alternatives today.

Tencel Lyocell, from comfort to innovation

Made from wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests, Tencel Lyocell is a plant-based fibre particularly valued for its breathable and thermoregulating properties.

It effectively absorbs moisture while promoting its evaporation, to maintain a feeling of freshness and comfort throughout the night. Its soft, silky feel, along with its good resistance to repeated washing, make it an ideal material for comfortable and durable bed linen.

A fibre designed for more responsible textiles

Tencel Lyocell also stands out for its more environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Made from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests, it is produced using a closed-loop process that recovers and reuses the vast majority of the solvents used. Its production also requires much less water than conventional cotton, while offering a durable and hard-wearing fibre. A choice that combines comfort, performance and environmental commitment.

For comfortable, breathable and durable bed linen, Tencel Lyocell is a modern alternative to cotton.

The cotton and Tencel Lyocell bed linen collection collection was made in Portugal, respecting exceptional textile craftsmanship.
