Many customers inquire about thread count, especially concerning our Tencel sheets. It's important to understand that Tencel sheets are not evaluated by thread count in the same way as traditional sheets. Tencel, made from wood pulp viscose, primarily eucalyptus, is a performance fabric with a unique hollow fiber structure. This structure allows Tencel to offer superior moisture-wicking properties and a silky feel, making it an excellent temperature regulator. Unlike high thread count cotton sheets, which are often associated with greater softness and quality, Tencel provides a soft, luxurious feel due to its smooth fiber surface, even without a high thread count.

While high thread count can sometimes indicate quality in cotton sheets, it's not a definitive measure, as some manufacturers may use methods to artificially boost thread count without actually improving the sheet's quality. The best thread count for both Tencel and cotton sheets typically lies between 300 and 600. Tencel's hydrophilic nature makes it highly absorbent and better at wicking away moisture than cotton, providing a cooler sleeping experience, particularly beneficial for hot sleepers. Moreover, Tencel is environmentally friendly, sourced from sustainable eucalyptus trees, and produced using a low-waste, closed-loop process, contrasting with the high water and chemical use in conventional cotton production. Tencel's durability, minimal shrinkage, wrinkle resistance, and color retention further add to its appeal compared to traditional cotton sheets.

When selecting sheets, it's important to consider the differences between microfiber, cotton, and the newer, high-performing Tencel sheets, especially in terms of comfort for hot sleepers.

Microfiber sheets, known for their softness and durability, are made from finely woven synthetic fibers. These sheets are affordable, wrinkle-resistant, and easy to care for, making them a popular choice. However, their synthetic nature means they tend to trap heat, which might not be ideal for hot sleepers.

Cotton sheets, particularly those with a 300 thread count, offer a breathable and natural option. They are excellent for temperature regulation, making them a good choice for those who sleep hot. Cotton sheets have a crisp feel that becomes softer with washing and are hypoallergenic, suitable for sensitive skin. The downside is that they can wrinkle easily and may be more expensive than microfiber.

Tencel sheets, a newer option, are gaining popularity, especially among hot sleepers, due to their superior temperature regulation properties. Made from wood pulp, Tencel sheets are environmentally friendly and offer a silky smooth feel. They are highly absorbent, wicking moisture away from the body, which helps to keep sleepers cool and comfortable throughout the night. Tencel sheets are also durable and less prone to wrinkling compared to cotton.

Ultimately, the choice between microfiber, cotton, and Tencel sheets will depend on individual preferences regarding feel, breathability, maintenance, and environmental impact. For hot sleepers looking for natural options, both cotton and Tencel sheets are excellent choices, with Tencel offering the added benefits of moisture-wicking properties and environmental sustainability.

The Mattress King's mattress protectors combine the innovative features of Tencel fabric with the waterproof capabilities of GORE-TEX, creating a product that's both breathable and effective in protecting your mattress. Tencel, derived from wood pulp (mainly eucalyptus and beechwood), is an eco-friendly material known for its soft, smooth texture and moisture-wicking properties. This makes it ideal for bedding, as it offers comfort and hygiene benefits, including being hypoallergenic and resisting bacterial growth.

The GORE-TEX membrane in these protectors enhances their functionality. GORE-TEX is known for its durable waterproof qualities while maintaining breathability. This means that while it prevents liquids like sweat, spills, and other fluids from penetrating and damaging the mattress, it still allows air and vapor to pass through, ensuring a comfortable and dry sleeping environment.

The combination of Tencel and GORE-TEX provides a protector that is not only effective in safeguarding your mattress but also contributes to a comfortable, hygienic, and environmentally friendly sleep experience. The protector is easy to care for, being machine washable and dryable, ensuring convenience without compromising on protection and comfort.

For a split adjustable bed in King size, which typically consists of two Twin XL mattresses, the ideal choice is a set of Split King sheets. These sheets include two Twin XL fitted sheets to accommodate the independent movement of each side of the adjustable bed, along with one King size flat sheet for complete coverage. Additionally, consider a Split King mattress protector set, comprising two Twin XL mattress protectors, to ensure complete protection and comfort for your adjustable bed setup.
