What are TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres?

The innovative fibre — with its botanical input — is in the spotlight.

You may have — you most likely have — come across the word “TENCEL™” when browsing our breadth of products. Introduced in 2016, this innovative fibre is now used across many of our core categories. 

TENCEL™ Lyocell is derived from sustainably managed forests and originates from the raw material wood. It is manufactured into cellulosic fibres, using environmentally responsible processes with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact.

Sheridan chooses TENCEL™ because responsibility is an important factor when it comes to designing our products. With Lenzing’s approach to a more sustainable future, TENCEL™ Lyocell aligns with our goal of making tomorrow beautiful.

Another thing that makes TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres so special? Their versatility. Not only do they have thermoregulating properties — keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter — it’s a versatile fibre.

Meaning, that when it’s combined, it enhances the aesthetics and functionality of its partner. These are two of the reasons why we use it across our products.

Here’s how we use TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres, by category. 

The Supersoft Luxury Towel Collection is crafted from a blend of quality cotton and TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres. Oh so soft and plush, it’s an indulgent addition to your bathroom. Available in a range of colours from classic white to statement brights, these towels look as good as they feel (which is very good, if you ask us).

One of our most beloved bed linen offerings is our Byren Percale — woven with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres and cotton. The result is a sheet that’s lightweight and breathable, with a crisp and cool hand feel. It’s available in a range of shades to suit any aesthetic.

Aptly named, our TENCEL™ Lyocell Fibre & Cotton sheet collection is crafted from this another combination cotton and TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres — though this time, in a lustrous and soft sateen weave. A little bit luxe, these sheets feel soft against skin and feature a beautiful drape. 

For those looking for a touch of elegance in their loungewear, this season, the Dovelake and Audra ranges are crafted with 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres, luxuriously soft and silky smooth with eye-catching prints. Boasting a lightweight feel and gorgeous drape, it’s the perfect option for lounging in style. 

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres can also be found in our Deluxe Supersoft range of bedding accessories. The All Seasons Quilt and Waterproof Quilted Pillow Protector use the fibre as a filling, due to its breathability, softness and ability to regulate temperature. The shell of both uses a blend of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres and cotton.

If your little one is taking the step of transitioning to a big kids bed, TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres can be found across our kids bedding, in pillows, quilts and mattress and pillow protectors, often blended with recycled polyester.
