Tencel Exclusive Kapok Pillow 60 x 70 cm

Savanne Tencel Exclusive, true enjoyment!

The Savanne Tencel Exclusive kapok pillow is arguably the top among our pillows. A wonderfully full, resilient, and nicely shapeable pillow. The Tencel Exclusive pillow is filled with pure carded Java Kapok and features a luxurious double-stitched 100% Tencel cover.

The Tencel Exclusive ticking, cover

This fine kapok pillow features a double-stitched 100% Tencel cover, which is also filled with 100% Tencel. An important property of Tencel is that you don't notice sweating due to the high moisture absorption of the Tencel fiber. The Tencel woven double ticking can absorb up to 150% more moisture than a cotton ticking! Another important property of Tencel pillows is that Tencel fabric is breathable. This prevents stuffy heat from building up. The Tencel pillow therefore never gets warmer than 28°C. This creates a wonderful sleeping climate.

Sleeping on a Tencel pillow is highly recommended for people with allergies to dust mites or asthma. Moisture is absorbed so well into the fiber that bacteria do not thrive in Tencel, which is why Tencel is hypoallergenic (= anti-allergic). People with sensitive skin also find Tencel a relief, as it is light, soft, and supple, and does not irritate the skin.

The Kapok filling

The Tencel Exclusive kapok pillow (60x70 cm) is firmly filled with pure carded Java Kapok. Thanks to the carded kapok, a kapok pillow is perhaps the most shapeable pillow. You can easily mold the pillow to the desired height with your shoulder. Nestle your head in it and sleep wonderfully.

A kapok pillow is also ideal for people who sweat a lot. The waxy protective layer around the hollow fiber ensures that excess perspiration is immediately wicked away and prevents the kapok fiber from absorbing moisture. Thanks to this protective layer, kapok is also naturally antibacterial. Furthermore, Kapok naturally has a nice cooling effect.

Thanks to the zipper in the ticking, you can adjust the Tencel Exclusive Kapok pillow to your own needs. This makes this kapok pillow suitable for stomach, side, and back sleepers.

You can easily wash the Tencel Exclusive pillow (cover) at home. The kapok filling is not washable. The kapok filling is in a nice inner cover, which you can easily remove. The Tencel pillowcase can be machine washed at up to 40°C (wool program) and then air-dried. This ensures you always sleep fresh and hygienically clean.

Savanne Tencel Exclusive Kapok, available in various sizes

The Savanne Tencel Exclusive Kapok pillow is firmly filled and available in several sizes. The 60 x 70 cm size is the same as the standard pillowcase size for your bedding. The 40 x 60 cm pillow size is ideal for taller individuals who want to create extra mattress space or for those who simply want a small and compact pillow:

• 40x60 cm - Filling weight approx. 700 grams - The 40x60 cm is often purchased for those who simply prefer a small pillow. Due to its compact shape, this pillow is also very suitable for stomach sleepers and children. It is also often sold as a travel pillow.
• 40x80 cm - Filling weight approx. 900 grams - This is a true German size and therefore often sold in Germany.
• 50x70 cm - Filling weight approx. 900 grams - Taller individuals often choose the 50x70 cm size. This gives you a bit more length over your mattress. The comfort of this pillow is otherwise exactly the same as the 60x70 size.
• 60x70 cm - Filling weight approx. 1150 grams - The 60x70 cm size is the standard Dutch size. This is also the size of the standard pillowcase that is usually supplied with your duvet cover.

Tencel, the story...

Tencel is as soft as silk, as strong as polyester, as easy to care for as acrylic, as cool and pleasant as linen, as warm as wool, and absorbs moisture much better than cotton. Simply a breakthrough in fibers! The new generation, with a bright future....

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 cannot thrive in Tencel material, and dust mites disappear within 6 weeks. 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, ensuring your sleeping environment is always pleasantly dry.

Tencel, the secret?

Tencel is the first cellulose fiber to derive 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 the pillow remains pleasantly dry, thus promoting restful sleep. For clarity, Tencel absorbs over 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, similar to 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 in the wet state is better, and the fiber wrinkles less. Lyocell is marketed under the brand name Tencel by the Austrian company Lenzing.
