Tencel fibre is the brand name for lyocell fibres manufactured by the house of Lenzing.
Tencel is a type of rayon cellulose fibre extracted from the wood pulp of sustainably grown Eucalyptus trees. Unlike other forms of Rayon, Tencel is manufactured in a closed loop cycle that recycles nearly 100% of all the organic compounds used during the manufacturing process. The patented system has earned them numerous accolades including the EU’s European Award for the Environment.
Tencel is an ideal natural fibre for latex mattresses due to it’s sustainability, strength, stretchy knit design and moisture absorbing properties.
Third party Tencel certifications include:
