A healthy sleep, a higher power of performance
ntegrating TENCEL® into your complete bedding system can result in an exceptional sleep experience. This is because, a special type of TENCEL® exists for every element of the bed; TENCEL®-powder in the cellpur® (see page 23) mattress core, filling fibers for mattress toppers as well as bed covers and TENCEL® MICRO for very fine bed linen. Now nothing stands in the way of a Botanic Bed. Sleeplessness can become a thing of the past. With TENCEL® products you can create your own bed completely of botanic origin for relaxed dreams.
The best moisture management regulates the climate with 50 % higher moisture absorption capacity
TENCEL® fiber comes from Nature. It is of botanic origin because it is extracted from the raw material, wood. The fiber production process is proven to be extremely eco-friendly due to its closed loop system. The applications for TENCEL® are exceptionally versatile. The fiber can be used in every aspect of sleeping – beginning with mattresses and mattress pads to bed covers and linens, all the way to lingerie. TENCEL®’s universality makes it possible to enjoy a completely botanic bed from nature. Nothing is dreamier than that when you go to sleep in a botanic TENCEL® bed. This site summarizes Lenzing’s findings from studies conducted in regard to the properties of TENCEL®. Studies on TENCEL® and its effects on our well-being as we sleep were performed in association with dermatologists and sleep researchers. With TENCEL®, it is possible to enjoy a completely natural feeling as you sleep.
Dreamlike moisture management
TENCEL® naturally absorbs moisture and quickly releases it again. This property guarantees a pleasantly dry sleeping climate. In contrast polyester does not absorb moisture at all. In the case of polyester, moisture remains on the fiber as a surface film. Moisture cannot be transported into the fiber of polyester as opposed to TENCEL®. Only TENCEL® absorbs moisture in a controlled and regular manner; drastically contrasting polyester which does not absorb any moisture, and cotton which absorbs 50 % less than TENCEL®.
Climate-dependent
In the bed environment, moisture transport is determined by the climate in the room. In accordance with climate conditions, TENCEL® quickly absorbs and then releases moisture back into the environment. Compared to other filling materials for bed covers, TENCEL® demonstrates the highest moisture absorption. Tests show that TENCEL® still has free range to transport moisture away from the body at a humidity of 65 %. TENCEL® exceptionally has the ability to absorb moisture when the air humidity rises. Absorption of vapor with extreme air humidity.
Natural hygiene fiber Bacteria do not stand a chance
The moisture management of TENCEL® nips the formation of bacteria in the bud. Moisture is immediately transported to the inside of the fiber. Hence there is no moisture film to aide bacterial growth.
Completely without chemicals
The bacterial protection works without any chemical additives. Its exceptional moisture management reduces bacterial growth naturally. Consequently, unpleasant smells are stopped before they get a chance to start. Natural protection from bacteria TENCEL® reduces bacterial growth in a natural way. However with synthetic fibers, the number of bacteria increases up to 2000 times.
Fight against dust mites is not necessary
No habitat for microorganisms
Perfect Moisture Management also puts a stop to the unrestricted growth of mites in bedding. Research conducted on mattresses (polyurethane foam with integrated TENCEL® powder) showedthat a large portion of the applied mite population died off. With conventional products, the number of mites increased 17 times in a 6-week period. The concentration of mites drastically declines due to TENCEL®’s management. TENCEL® stores moisture and mites die out. Due to the perfect moisture management of TENCEL® mites die out.
Stops mold
Due to TENCEL®’s excellent moisture absorption mold development is prevented. A dry sleeping area prohibits water condensation, which makes the formation of mold impossible.
Sensitive skin a matter of health
More and more people are ailed by sensitive skin. Environmental pollution and an upsurge in allergies have led to increased interest in alternatives to conventional materials. The addition of TENCEL® properties help to alleviate skin irritation. TENCEL® bed linens are particularly cool to the touch and soft on skin.
Dreamy relaxation
Due to their unique combination, the properties of TENCEL® make it possible to enjoy relaxing dreams. Static charge is a thing of the past. The extent of which bed items are electrostatically charged depends on the moisture content of the materials used and their electrical conductivity. The moisture content in TENCEL® bedding prevents the build up of static charge and prevents the uncomfortable shocks that commonly occur in a dry winter atmosphere. The secret lies in the fiber moisture The moisture level in TENCEL® is 13 %, compared to 1% in polyester. TENCEL®’s natural moisture makes it a static-free fiber without any electrostatic buildup. This property allows for a better night’s sleep and absolute relaxation allowing muscles to completely regenerate during the night.
