Hefel Tencel Underblanket

An underblanket is a thick blanket of approx. 2 cm, placed on the mattress. A Tencel underblanket ensures a wonderfully dry and very comfortable sleeping climate throughout the night. An important property of Tencel is that you don't notice sweating due to the high moisture absorption of the Tencel fiber. Tencel absorbs 150% more moisture than cotton. Tencel is as soft as silk and as strong as polyester. Moisture is absorbed so well into the fiber that bacteria do not thrive in Tencel, which is also why Tencel is hypoallergenic (= anti-allergic).

TENCEL® is a 100% natural material and is fully biodegradable. The raw material for this material is wood, sourced from sustainably managed plantations. It has received the European quality mark PEFC and the international mark FSC. TENCEL® has received numerous awards for its environmentally friendly production process.

TENCEL® is highly functional. Great moisture permeability is one of the basic properties of this material. After extensive research, it has become clear that 85% of people with sensitive skin prefer TENCEL® over other materials. Bacteria and dust mites do not stand a chance in Tencel material! No chemicals are used in Tencel material, an important factor for sensitive skin. Tencel can first absorb moisture and then distribute it over the surface, keeping your sleeping environment pleasantly dry at all times.

Quality Mark

Our Tencel duvets, pillows, and underblankets are certified with the Oeko-Tex label, originally a German organization that strictly prohibits harmful substances in textiles. Oeko-tex was founded in 1992 to combat the use of harmful chemicals in textiles and clothing. Products manufactured according to the Oeko Tex standard are also strictly controlled.

Tencel, the secret?

Tencel is the first cellulose fiber that derives its enormous strength from nanotechnology. As a result of the concentrated and regular structure of the non-fibers, new functional properties can be added to Tencel. These guarantee excellent moisture absorption, combined with optimal moisture management. During sleep, our body releases at least 0.4 liters of perspiration, but Tencel's exceptionally good moisture absorption ensures that your bedding remains pleasantly dry, thus promoting restful sleep. For clarification, TENCEL® absorbs more than 50% more moisture than cotton. This is in contrast to polyester, which absorbs no moisture at all.

Lyocell (Tencel) is an artificial fiber of natural origin. The raw material for this fiber is wood pulp, like that for viscose rayon, and it is also spun using the wet spinning process. The key difference lies in the dissolution of the wood fibers. For viscose rayon, this is not an environmentally friendly process. Sodium hydroxide, carbon disulfide, and sulfuric acid are used, and harmful by-products are generated. Carbon disulfide is harmful to health and highly flammable.

These disadvantages have been overcome in lyocell by using a new solvent (N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide) and by modifying the process to create a closed loop where the solvent is recovered. The properties of the fiber generally correspond to those of viscose, but its strength when wet is better, and the fiber wrinkles less. Lyocell is marketed under the brand name Tencel by the Austrian company Lenzing.
