About Lyocell

Lyocell is produced from cellulose, the main material in plant cells, and constitutes a new fibre for clothing, hygiene, medical and technical applications. The production process for Lyocell is extremely environmentally friendly, the fibre has all the advantages of a natural material and is 100% bio-degradable.

Humans spend a third of their lives in bed.

It is important, therefore, that we feel comfortable in that environment, that we lie comfortably and are warm enough but not too hot. The sleeping area between the mattress and the bed cover has to create the optimum climate in agreement with the season in question.

Lyocell is a top product in this field of application.

Lyocell bedding designed by DownTown Company in 2004, won "Best New Product" award at the New York Home Textile Show. Lyocell has all the features of down, as a comfort, moisture manager, and luxury material.

Bedding featuring Lyocell ticking with Lyocell fiber inside, is a perfect luxury alternative to those that are still allergic to down.

Lyocell is the best alternative for those who do not wish to purchase a polyester fiber filled comforter, Lyocell is your luxury alternative down product. It has all the natural properties of natural down, without the allergic reaction that might hinder your sleep. You would need to be allergic to the forest to be allergic to Lyocell.

Features & Environmental Awards of this renewable fiber resource:

One associates optimum moisture and heat management with the Lyocell fibre, i.e. one does not perspire with covers of Lyocell and although one perceives a pleasant coolness, one does not freeze at the same time. The fibre breathes with the body, absorbs a lot of moisture very quickly and then releases this to the outside thus preserving the warmth level.

The natural raw material and unsurpassed purity attained in this production process make this natural fibre the product of choice in the hygiene product segment. Lyocell has been used for example, in the production of baby wipes.

Over 80 European firms took part in the year 2000 edition of the European Awards for the Environment. Lenzing Lyocell won the technology award for sustainable development in cellulose fibre production. Environmentally friendly, in non-geek speak.

Lyocell is very soft to the touch, and for bedding this just simply a perfect match with DownTown Company's high quality down products.
