Lenzing TENCEL® - Fillings

Dreamy Fillings

TENCEL® filling guarantees a healthy night’s sleep. Fillings of TENCEL® herald the beginning of a new era in healthy sleeping. TENCEL® boasts an excellent performance that cannot be matched by other filling materials. The secret lies in the unique nanofibril structure of TENCEL®. The nanofibrils of TENCEL® are hydrophilic and promote optimum moisture absorption with excellent temperature regulation.

A HEALTHY SLEEP ALL NIGHT LONG

TENCEL® absorbs moisture extremely quickly and releases it again away from the body.

The body passes through various phases as we sleep. If our circulation is constantly preoccupied with warming up and cooling down the body our sleep is easily disturbed - see the erratic sleeping curve for polyester fill in the graph below.

TENCEL® guarantees the best possible night's sleep by absorbing and rapidly removing the body moisture that is produced as we sleep. The dryness and optimum warmth given by TENCEL® ensure comfort in a wide range of climate conditions - see the smooth sleeping curve in the TENCEL® graph below.

A DREAM COME TRUE – NANOFIBRILS

The human body releases up to 0.4 liter of water vapor while asleep. The excellent moisture properties of TENCEL® ensure that the area where we sleep remains pleasant and dry. TENCEL® absorbs moisture extremely quickly and releases it again away from the body. The graph shows that TENCEL® has the best moisture management capability.

GOOD INSULATION FOR A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP

TENCEL® FILL provides a high level of warmth that is better than either polyester or down fillings when used in the same duvet thicknesses. Alternatively, TENCEL® provides the same level of warmth in a thinner duvet. This reduced bulk can be welcome for storage and transport.

Thermal regulation – thin and warm

As a filling material TENCEL® demonstrates its thermal regulating prowess and attains the same or better values than conventional filling materials.

THE NATURAL HYGIENE FIBER

TENCEL® the natural hygiene fiber restricts bacteria entirely without the use of chemical additives. This bacteriostatic effect is due to moisture produced as we sleep being absorbed and released away from the body. The resultant dry climate reduces the growth of bacteria. This in turn helps to prevent odors, the formation of mold and discourages mites.

TENCEL® prevents the growth of bacteria entirely without the use of chemical additives. With synthetic fibers on the other hand, the growth of bacteria increases compared to TENCEL® approximately 2,000 times.

THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR SWEET DREAMS

There are a number of filling options for the best possible results depending on the needs of the application. In particularthe blending fiber options play an important role. Some examples are:

Fiber*	Characteristics
100 % TENCEL®	Optimum moisture management
Blends with polyester	Enhanced temperature regulating properties
Blends with PLA fibers	100% natural
Blends with down, wool and silk	Pure luxury

*For specific fill applications, TENCEL® is available in a range of decitex, fiber lengths and fiber cross-section variants.

TENCEL® ENHANCES YOUR SLEEP THE NATURAL WAY

Due to the higher release of perspiration by the body as we sleep, the perfect moisture management of TENCEL® is particularly important. TENCEL® offers outstanding properties and performance in a wide range of bedding uses:
