In the late 1990s, a new and highly sustainable material entered the market: TENCEL™. It is made from wood pulp, primarily from eucalyptus or birch trees, and offers many benefits—for both the environment and for you as the owner of a TENCEL™ duvet (cover). This breathable fabric feels as cool as linen, as warm and comfortable as wool, and as strong as cotton. It’s no surprise that we love using this material for our bedding and duvets. And of course, we’re happy to tell you more. Because what exactly is TENCEL™?

Every Yumeko product is made with the greatest care for people, animals, and the environment. That’s why we love using TENCEL™ for our bedding and duvets. “Sustainability squared” is a fitting description.
TENCEL™ is produced in a closed-loop system, meaning water is reused again and again. This results in 71% less water consumption compared to conventional cotton production.
In addition, the CO₂ emissions of our TENCEL™-cotton blend are low—49% lower than those of regular cotton. This is partly because no pesticides or harmful chemicals are used during the cultivation of the wood or cotton. Finally, Yumeko’s TENCEL™ is made from wood pulp sourced from untreated trees.
Besides its sustainability, TENCEL™ offers many other advantages. For example, it absorbs 50% more moisture than cotton. It is also a strong material with a long lifespan, while still feeling incredibly soft. This fully plant-based material is therefore perfect for comfortable bedding and sustainable duvets.
Now that you know what TENCEL™ is and are familiar with its benefits, you might be curious about our TENCEL™ products. Our TENCEL™ bedding is a blend of 60% organic cotton and 40% TENCEL™. You can expect soft, wrinkle-resistant bedding with a subtle sheen that can be used all year round.
Looking for the best TENCEL™ duvet? Our ecological TENCEL™ duvets are known for their softness and excellent moisture regulation. The breathable fabric feels as cool as linen, as warm and comfortable as wool, and as strong as cotton. Another great advantage: easy care. A Yumeko TENCEL™ duvet can be washed at home in the washing machine at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a wool cycle, using a mild detergent.
We all want a good night’s sleep. A high-quality mattress plays a big role in that. And of course, you also want to make a responsible choice—for your wallet and for the environment. In that case, a natural latex mattress is an excellent option. This comfortable material is perfect for every type of sleeper, whether you prefer sleeping on your stomach, back, or side.
Are you someone who’s always cold—even when temperatures are high? Or do you kick off your duvet as quickly as possible, even when it’s freezing outside? Maybe you fall somewhere in between, which doesn’t make choosing a new duvet any easier. Yumeko is here to help. In this blog, you’ll discover what duvet warmth levels mean and which one suits you best—so you can make an informed choice. That’s the key to a great night’s sleep!
