Hefel Tencel KlimaControl Loose Pillowcase

This super fine pillowcase is made of 100% Tencel. The cover is double-stitched and also filled with 100% Tencel. An important property of Tencel is that perspiration is not noticed 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 is that Tencel fabric is breathable. This prevents heat buildup. Tencel textiles never get warmer than 28°C. This creates a wonderfully comfortable sleeping climate.

So, if you sweat excessively or simply want the best of the best, we can highly recommend the Tencel KlimaControl pillowcase.

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 breath of fresh air because it is light, soft, and supple, and does not irritate the skin.

Tencel is highly functional. Excellent 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 do not stand a chance 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 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 the pillow remains pleasantly dry, thus promoting restful sleep. For clarity, 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 with a natural basis. 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. The process for viscose rayon is not environmentally friendly. Sodium hydroxide, carbon disulfide, and sulfuric acid are used, producing harmful by-products. 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 modifying 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 its 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.
