Tencel: an innovative and ecological fiber
Tencel, or lyocell, is a textile fiber made from the pulp of eucalyptus, beech or birch wood. This fabric is created through a particularly environmentally friendly manufacturing process, using non-toxic and recyclable solvents in a closed system. This process reduces the environmental impact while ensuring a superior fabric quality.
The benefits of Tencel for your pajamas:
- Unparalleled softness: Tencel is extremely soft and smooth, making it a pleasant fabric for even the most sensitive skin. Its silky and fluid texture ensures optimal comfort throughout the night.
- Thermoregulating properties: This fabric absorbs and regulates moisture, which helps keep the skin dry and at the ideal temperature during sleep. Whether you are prone to hot flashes or need to stay warm, Tencel adapts to your needs.
- Environmentally friendly: Made from renewable resources, Tencel is biodegradable and requires less water than cotton for its production. It is therefore a more environmentally friendly choice, perfect for consumers who are concerned about their environmental footprint.
Organic Cotton: a safe, natural and sustainable value
Organic cotton, on the other hand, is cotton grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides, thus respecting sustainable and ecological agricultural practices. Certified by labels such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), organic cotton guarantees a culture that respects biodiversity and the environment.
The advantages of organic cotton for your pajamas:
- Natural and hypoallergenic: Organic cotton is a natural, soft and non-irritating fiber, ideal for sensitive skin. It is also breathable, which helps keep the skin fresh and comfortable during the night.
- Durability and resistance: Organic cotton is known for its strength and longevity. It resists washing well, which allows quality clothes to be preserved for several years.
- Respect for the planet: Organic cotton is grown without chemicals and with less water than conventional cotton, which makes it a more sustainable and less polluting alternative.
Tencel or Organic Cotton: which fabric should you choose for your pajamas?
Both fabrics, Tencel and organic cotton, are perfect options for those looking for comfort and respect for the environment. However, each has specific characteristics that can make a difference depending on your preferences.
1. Comfort and softness
If softness and comfort to the touch are your main criteria, Tencel might be your best choice. Its silky and fluid texture surpasses that of cotton, offering a uniquely light and soft feel. Tencel is also more breathable than cotton and regulates body temperature better, ideal for people who sweat a lot at night.
2. Breathability and hypoallergenicity
If you prefer a completely natural fabric, organic cotton is still a safe bet. It is breathable and hypoallergenic, perfect for sensitive or allergy-prone skin. While Tencel is also soft and suitable for sensitive skin, it can be perceived as cooler than cotton, which may be more suitable during warmer seasons.
3. Environmental impact
If environmental impact is a determining factor for you, both fabrics are good choices. However, Tencel benefits from a more water-efficient manufacturing process and uses fewer chemicals, making it a slightly greener option than organic cotton. That said, organic cotton is still a responsible choice compared to conventional cotton.
