The Most Important Points in 30 Seconds

Lyocell is smooth; the specific product construction is what matters.

Lyocell is the generic name for the fiber; TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing. The Mara Vital pillow combines Lyocell and polyester fibers, while the blanket is described as having a Lyocell filling and a cotton cover. [1][2][3]

Material

What is Lyocell?

A smooth, flowing Lyocell fabric with a silky sheen, casually draped over a light-colored wooden table.
Lyocell has a smooth drape and a subtle sheen. Illustrative, computer-generated image of the material; not a product photo.

Lyocell is a type of regenerated cellulose fiber. Wood pulp is dissolved and spun into new fibers. Lenzing markets its own Lyocell fibers under the TENCEL™ brand; not every product labeled "Lyocell" automatically contains TENCEL™. [1]

When making a purchase decision, the complete product description is what matters. The material name, capacity, finish, and workmanship together tell you more than a single buzzword ever could.

Care

How do you wash Lyocell bedding?

The current product page specifies a maximum temperature of 60 °C and suitability for the dryer for the Lyocell pillow. For the Lyocell blanket, it specifies 60 °C on the delicate cycle, air drying, and no spin cycle. The care label for the specific product variant remains the authoritative source. [2][3]

  1. 01

    Read the label

    The current version and the care label are binding.

  2. 02

    Separate the cover and the filling

    Do not treat the washable cover and the delicate filling the same way.

  3. 03

    Ask before buying

    If a product does not include clear care instructions, the product advice section can help.

Borders

What the material name doesn't promise.

Lyocell does not make any blanket statements regarding allergies, microorganisms, skin compatibility, or sleep quality. Brand and environmental claims also apply only to the specific material listed.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Lyocell.

Is Lyocell the same as TENCEL™?

No. Lyocell is the name of the fiber. TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing, whose product line includes Lyocell fibers. [1]

Is Lyocell a natural fiber or a synthetic fiber?

Lyocell is made from natural cellulose, but the fiber is produced through a technical regeneration process. “Regenerated cellulose fiber” is the more precise classification. [1]

Can I wash a Lyocell blanket at 60 °C?

For the current Mara Vital Lyocell blanket, the product page recommends washing at 60 °C on the gentle cycle, air drying, and no spin cycle. Check the care label on your specific model. [3]
