A Sustainable Material
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.
The Benefits of TENCEL™
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.
Sleep Comfort with TENCEL™
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.
