Tencel Underblanket Kids Bed

A mattress protector is a thick blanket of approx. 2 cm, which is placed on the mattress. A Tencel mattress protector ensures a wonderfully dry and very comfortable sleeping climate throughout the night. An important property of Tencel is that perspiration is not noticed 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 feel at home 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 and comes from sustainably managed plantations. It received the European quality mark PEFC and the international mark FSC. TENCEL® has received numerous awards for its environmentally friendly production process.

TENCEL® is very 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 stand no 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, so your sleeping environment is always pleasantly dry.

Washing instructions

You can easily wash the Tencel mattress protector yourself at home. The mattress protector can be machine washed up to 40 °C and tumble dried up to 70 °C. This way you always sleep fresh and hygienically clean.

Quality mark

Our Tencel mattress protectors are equipped with the Oeko-Tex label, an originally German organization that has a strict policy against harmful substances in textiles. Oeko-tex was founded in 1992 to combat the use of harmful chemicals in textiles and clothing. Products produced 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 guarantees 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, as for viscose rayon, and it is also spun using the wet spinning process. The characteristic 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 with lyocell by using a new solvent (N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide) and by changing the process to create a closed loop system where the solvent is recovered. The properties of the fiber generally correspond to those of viscose, but the strength in a wet state is better and the fiber wrinkles less. Lyocell is marketed under the brand name Tencel by the Austrian company Lenzing.
