Is there a noticeable difference between a Tencel vs cotton bed sheet? The answer is yes. When it comes to shopping for bedding, the options are plentiful while the differences seem minimal. With such a variety of choices, how do you know the best one to pick? There are tons of different fabrics, colors, styles, etc - and sometimes, they look the same! When it comes to choosing a bedding product, the decision really comes down to the material that it’s made out of.
At the end of the day, you're going to be sleeping in bed with this product, so you're going to want to ensure that it's super comfortable. The more comfortable your bed is, the better sleep you're going to have... The better sleep you have, the better mood you'll be in for the rest of the day!
In this blog, we are going to discuss the difference between a Tencel vs cotton bed sheet. Tencel is often considered a more luxurious option... However, we all have different preferences when it comes to sleeping. Some people prefer to feel like they're sleeping on a cloud, whereas other people like a more firm bed. So, we'll let you decide which fabric will give you the best night’s sleep. Without any further ado, let's get into it!
So, what exactly is Tencel? Although first developed in 1972, this fabric is relatively new to the market and is produced out of cellulose from wood, more specifically eucalyptus trees. You may also hear it referred to as lyocell. Instead of being woven out of fibers from cotton, Tencel is created from the pulp of eucalyptus wood. The outcome of this process produces a very strong, yet super smooth fabric. It tends to be very soft on the skin and is very popular among sleepers!
Although Tencel is very popular, cotton certainly ranks as the most widely used fabric in the country... It's been around for over 7,000 years! This natural fiber comes from the seedpod of the cotton plant and is used to make many different fabric types. The end result makes for a durable and soft material.
Like anything, there are benefits and drawbacks to each. If you have more specialized sleeping needs and/or sensitivity to fabrics, Tencel is the way to go. Additionally, if you’re seeking out more luxurious bedding, this is certainly a viable option. Cotton is always a wonderful choice for those on a stricter budget.
We're big fans of both Tencel and cotton... Here at Warm Things, we have a large array of cotton and Tencel products to meet the needs of every sleeper! So, whether you're looking to purchase cozy sheets, nice pillowcases, or beautiful blankets, we have it all! Here are a couple of our favorite Tencel and cotton products that we have in our stores!
