P1Lower friction on skin and hair than cottonLyocell fibre has a smoother, more even surface than cotton, so it rubs less against skin and hair.Lenzing, fibre data
P2Natural moisture regulationThe fibre absorbs moisture and releases it again, depending on its surroundings. That is why the fabric feels dry against the skin.Lenzing, fibre data
P3Less odourThe fibres stay dry, and bacteria find it harder to thrive in a dry environment.Lenzing, fibre data
P4Biodegradable and compostableThe fibre has been tested for biodegradation in soil, fresh water and seawater, and in industrial composting.Lenzing
P5Closed loop in fibre production99.8% of the solvent is recovered and reused.Lenzing
P6No microplasticsThe fibre is made from wood cellulose, not plastic, so it does not shed plastic fibres in the wash.Material composition
P7Lower CO₂ emissions because it is made to orderAccording to Rodinia Generation, this cuts emissions by up to 40% compared with conventional production for stock, because everything is made to order and transport distances are short.Rodinia Generation

The value chain

Six steps from tree to bed. The entire chain is in Europe, and everything after the fibre is Danish.

  1. Wood

    The wood comes from European forests. According to Lenzing, the pulp is FSC® or PEFC certified.

    Europe

  2. Fibre

    The pulp is turned into TENCEL™ Lyocell at Lenzing in Austria. In 2024, Lenzing received the top rating when the environmental organisation Canopy assessed the world's cellulosic fibre producers on how they protect forests.

    Austria

  3. Fabric and dyeing

    The fabric is dyed at Rodinia Generation in Denmark, which only produces to order, never for stock.

    Denmark

  4. Sewing

    Sewn in Ikast in small batches, down to a single set at a time. The workshop runs on solar power, and fabric offcuts are recycled.

    Ikast

  5. Packaging

    Recyclable box in 1,200 g board from Husted Emballage in Denmark.

    Denmark

  6. Packing

    We pack and ship every set ourselves from Frederiksberg.
