New eucalyptus silk bedding takes the spotlight: I've given it a try and it's a heaven-sent option for hot weather nights
In the world of bedding, a new contender has emerged, offering a luxurious, eco-friendly alternative to traditional cotton and bamboo linens: Eucalyptus silk bed linen.
Made from the fibers of eucalyptus trees, this innovative material boasts a naturally smoother and silkier texture compared to its counterparts. Brands like Eucalypso, Ethical Bedding, and EcoBrands are leading the charge, providing a range of eucalyptus silk bedding options that combine luxury feel with eco-friendly benefits.
Eucalypso's Classic Sheet Set, for instance, uses Tencel, a eucalyptus-derived fabric with a silky feel and breathability similar to real silk. Available in multiple mattress sizes and colours, this budget-friendly and easy-to-care-for option is a popular choice among consumers.
Ethical Bedding offers an eucalyptus silk bedding range praised for its lightness, smoothness, and breathability, making it a favoured choice for hot weather use. This material is described as a luxurious and affordable alternative to real mulberry silk.
EcoBrands sells eucalyptus silk sheets and cooling comforter sets made from vegan, sustainable eucalyptus fibers. Their products emphasize being eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, and temperature-regulating, positioning them as luxury comfort items.
The production process of Ethical Bedding's eucalyptus bed linen recycles 99% of water and involves no harmful waste. This commitment to sustainability makes eucalyptus silk bed linen an attractive option for eco-conscious consumers.
Amy Lockwood, the Sleep Editor, has spent the last four years researching and testing sleep products to find the best-in-class. As a hot sleeper, she specializes in testing breathable bedding. After testing eucalyptus silk bed linen, she found it to be a luxurious sleep option, especially in hotter months, due to its cool-to-the-touch feel.
Eucalyptus silk bed linen is also naturally thermoregulating, helping to keep the user cool in summer and cosy in winter. Additionally, it is hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and kind to skin and hair, making it especially loved by those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.
Moreover, eucalyptus silk bed linen is more affordable than silk, providing a luxurious sleep experience at a lower price point. Brands like M&S offer lyocell-mix bedding that combines lyocell with cotton for a silkier feel at a more affordable price. Dunelm also offers both a pure tencel duvet set and bed linen in a cotton and tencel mix.
In conclusion, eucalyptus silk bed linen offers a luxurious and sustainable sleep experience. With its silky smooth texture, temperature regulation, and hypoallergenic properties, it's no wonder this innovative material is gaining popularity among consumers. Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly option or a luxury comfort item, eucalyptus silk bed linen is worth considering for your next bedding purchase.
