In the domestic market recently appeared home textile from Tensel. For many, it’s still a mystery, tencel - what is this? Interest is fueled by the rather high price of these products and their shortage of sales. Let's see what is behind this term.
Tencel is both fabric and not fabric at the same time
It is known that home textile for a bedroom is traditionally made from cotton, linen or chintz. Such production is accompanied by waste of natural resources and environmental pollution.
Tensel is
viscose fiber obtained from beech or Australian eucalyptus, the production of which is associated with the use of nanotechnology. A huge plus of Tensel - 100% environmental friendliness and practicality. We will continue to describe the advantages and disadvantages of this high-tech material.

From the tensel make not only bedding. Tencel is used as a packing for blankets and pillows. They warm perfectly in the winter, and in the summer, on the contrary, cool - this all happens due to the natural properties of the tensel. Tensel bedding is a special and separate trend that popularizes eco-style in all areas of a person’s life. This underwear is incredibly popular in the West, and today it is gradually entering our life. Of the shortcomings of the products from Tensel, only a high price was noticed, tens of times higher than the cost of traditional bedding sets.
Tensel bedding is smooth and soft to the touch (like silk), but at the same time comfortable and “cozy” like cotton.
It is practical to perfection - it does not require ironing, does not crease, it is erased at 40 degrees, and you can straighten it out by simply shaking it with your hands. Such underwear serves for many years, does not lose its shape, color, does not roll. The most important advantage of home textile from tensel is its hypoallergenicity. Such underwear can be used by both children and people with severe allergies. Eucalyptus has antibacterial properties in nature, which is "transmitted" to the tensel. Therefore, such linen will not contain bacteria, pathogenic microorganisms,
dust mites, fungi. Tensel is a “breathing” material that lets in air that our body needs. The fabric copes well with moisture, absorbing it inside, while the surface of the laundry remains dry. Lingerie is very easy to care for, does not require special funds. The color scheme of the sets is diverse, there may be plain or thematic options. Sets of linen made of this material are sold in beautiful, transparent packages, and they are ideal as a gift.
