15 Reasons to Choose "eucalyptus" TENCEL Sheets

We all know of the classic cotton, silk, and polyester sheets. So much has already been said (both good and bad) but do you know about TENCEL sheets derived from eucalyptus? What is there to say about them?

Tencel lyocell sheets are made from sustainable wood sources including eucalyptus wood pulp. Read on to see why we decided to create Eucalypso and our signature TENCEL sheets.

Why Eucalyptus?

Eucalyptus is naturally organic. Eucalyptus grows quickly, and doesn’t require irrigation or pesticides unlike other traditional fabrics like cotton. TENCEL lyocell (derived from sustainable wood sources including eucalyptus wood pulp) also doesn’t release toxic microfibres like many synthetic fabrics do.
Eucalyptus is naturally antibacterial, antifungal, moisture-wicking, cooling, and buttery soft. Meanwhile, the run-of-the-mill cotton sheets saturating the market are rougher, bacteria-trapping, and absolutely horrible for the environment.
Eucalyptus can be made in a closed-loop, zero footprint process. Eucalyptus sheets can be produced such that more than 99% of the water and organic solvent used to make our sheets are recycled! This helps prevent environmental degradation from runoffs and pollution, a common occurrence from fabrics that aren’t sustainably produced.

The Benefits of TENCEL Sheets

TENCEL sheets are hypoallergenic and 100% free of any allergens, perfect for individuals with sensitive skin, and safe for pets and babies. Hypoallergenic sheets also protect against dust mites and mold! Look forward to an allergy-free night’s sleep.
It is 100% vegan. TENCEL sheets feel just as silky, soft, and cooling as regular silk but are completely cruelty-free! Think of TENCEL as vegan silk, the best silk alternative.
TENCEL sheets help prevent acne and bacne by being super breathable which prevents night sweats and hot flashes from causing bacteria to build-up on your sheets. Due to its natural antibacterial properties, theses sheets stay cleaner longer. A win for your skin.
It is a low maintenance sheet. Get all the benefits of a silk sheet and more without the fussy, headache-inducing washing instructions attached. TENCEL sheets are machine washable and much more durable than silk. No need to worry about potential snags and tears.
It is temperature-regulating. TENCEL sheets are cool to the touch and 3x more breathable and 70% more moisture-wicking than regular cotton sheets which are woven in such a way that actually traps heat. No more tossing and turning at night, waking up with half your comforter off the bed, or feeling sticky and gross.
It is your hair and skin’s best friend. TENCEL pillowcases help smooth morning frizz, retain the hair’s moisture, and reduce hair breakage. TENCEL also helps keep the moisture and night time skin recovery products locked into your face–preventing sleep wrinkles.
