What is TENCEL?
TENCEL is an award-winning 'new-age' fibre which is 100% botanic. Made from plantation-grown, natural wood cellulose, it originates from the aromatic pulp of sustainably-harvested eucalyptus trees. Because of the hydrophilic quality of Tencel, along with controllable fibrillation, it is much more efficient than other linens at keeping the body cooler while sleeping. TENCEL is also a remarkable environmental achievement: it is derived from a renewable and sustainable raw material, it is manufactured sustainably and it is fully biodegradable, making it a 'full-cycle' fibre.
What are the benefits of TENCEL?
Moisture-Wicking: Nanofibrils are one of the keys to the performance of TENCEL. These nanofibrils are hydrophilic, meaning they have a strong attraction to absorb water (in fact TENCEL wicks 50% more moisture than cotton) plus they have excellent cooling properties. The importance of this is that, each and every night the human body releases up to a litre of water vapour while we sleep. TENCEL very quickly absorbs this moisture and then wicks it away from the body, leaving the bedding cool, dry and comfortable.
Anti-Bacterial: Because of the tremendous capacity of TENCEL to absorb moisture, bacteria, which love a moist environment, find it virtually impossible to grow. As displayed below, the growth of bacteria on cotton is approximately 200 times more than on TENCEL. On synthetic fibres, the increase in bacteria is up to 2,000 times more. Due to the anti-bacterial properties of TENCEL it is ideal for anyone with sensitive skin, allergies or asthma. With its cool-feel, incredible softness, and durability TENCEL is also the perfect bedding fabric for babies, toddlers and children.
Silky Smooth: Because TENCEL has controllable fibrillation (very fine hairs found on the outer fibres) the fabric has an incredibly silky-smooth finish and gives a natural cooling sensation to the skin. While cotton has an irregular, rough surface, TENCEL is smooth and supple, meaning that the material will drape like silk... and feel like heaven.
Easy Care: Because it is 100% natural, TENCEL is soft, supple, durable and flexible. Bambi's TENCEL bedding products are odourless, pre-shrunk, and easy care (simply machine wash and tumble dry on low heat). When washing, there's no need for fabric softener or whitening agents.
