After creating the greatest stuffing you will ever experience, we needed the greatest cover material.
Our mission was the same. We needed a fabric that was soft and also durable and also cool and also moisture-wicking and also antibacterial and also environmentally clean and also sustainable.
Simple, right?
There is exactly one fabric on planet Earth that meets our criteria.
Enter TENCEL™
The Austrian company Lenzing has been perfecting sustainable textile fibers since 1938. They're not just another fabric manufacturer—they're the company that pioneered closed-loop production processes and made traceability standard in an industry that rarely offers either.
When we say we source TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers from Lenzing, we're not just naming a supplier. We're partnering with a company whose environmental standards are as uncompromising as ours.
Why You'll Love TENCEL™
Cool Comfort
TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers support a natural dry feeling through moisture control and are naturally soft and smooth to the touch. The fiber structure allows free air flow to complement the cooling properties of our proprietary fill mix, working with your body's natural cooling process.
Moisture moves away from your skin. Air flows through. You stay comfortable. Cool inside and out.
Durability
EcoFit Pillow is an investment in your health, comfort and overall quality of life. TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers with high tenacity among cellulosic fibers ensure that your investment rewards you for years to come. This fabric holds up. It doesn't pill. It doesn't break down. It endures.
Unfavorable to Bacteria
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are unfavorable to odor-causing bacteria. It's not treated with chemicals to achieve this - it's a property of the fiber itself. Your pillow stays fresher, naturally.
The Sustainability Story
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are made from a resource-saving, closed loop production process. Here's what that actually means:
TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are derived from certified or controlled wood sources. The production process recovers and reuses more than 99% of the water and solvents. Nothing gets dumped into rivers. Nothing gets released into the air. The whole system is designed to be circular.
This isn't greenwashing. This is actual sustainability that you can trace and verify.
TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal fibers are made with at least 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption compared to generic lyocell and modal.
EcoFit: No metal. No plastic. No landfill.
Excellence Is a Choice.
You might say, 'It sounds like TENCEL™ is the best fabric on the market. Why doesn't everyone use it?'
The answer is simple. It IS clean, soft, sustainable and breathable, but...
It's not cheap.
That's okay with us. TENCEL™ doesn't compromise. We don't compromise. EcoFit is built for people who don't compromise.
The Big Picture
Our journey has introduced you to Kapok, Natural Latex and now TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers.
Amazing components that combine to create something that is even better than the sum of the pieces.
But wait, there's more.
Why this pillow is 72"×54"×2" and what that unexpected size accomplishes. (Hint: it's not arbitrary.)
But, once again, that's a story for another day.
More soon.
