All-Season Bedding: Why TENCEL Is Perfect for Every Season
Anyone who completely replaces their bedding with every season knows the problem: the wardrobe is overflowing, and one set is always sitting in the laundry instead of on the bed. Yet there is a simpler solution. Genuine all-season bedding adapts to the respective sleeping climate on its own – and that is exactly what the TENCEL fiber was originally developed for. biberna was the first German manufacturer to offer bedding made from this fiber from the Lenzing house, and continues to use it to this day as a reliable all-season quality that works equally well in summer and winter. Anyone wondering whether a single quality can really impress throughout the entire year will find the answer in the properties of the fiber itself.
What good all-season bedding must be able to do
Bedding that is intended to suit every season must solve two opposing tasks at the same time: In summer, it should lie cool and dry on the skin, in winter it should provide pleasant warmth without overheating. Classic, simple cotton qualities can only partially manage this balancing act, which is why many households switch between light summer bedding and warm winter bedding – with correspondingly more sets in the wardrobe and more effort when changing the laundry. A fiber with genuine all-season suitability saves exactly this double effort without compromising on sleep comfort.
TENCEL: The fiber with built-in moisture management
The decisive advantage of TENCEL lies in its moisture-regulating effect. The fiber absorbs moisture and releases it in a controlled manner, instead of trapping it on the skin surface like many other materials. This keeps the bed climate balanced throughout the entire night – an effect that clearly distinguishes classic TENCEL bedding from pure cotton, as also shown by the detailed comparison between TENCEL and cotton. At the same time, the moisture-regulating effect deprives bacteria and dust mites of the damp basis of life they depend on – exactly how this mechanism works is explained in detail in the post on TENCEL against dust mites.
From late summer to winter: one cover for all seasons
Exactly this property makes TENCEL bedding a practical all-season quality: it does not need to be replaced with a warmer version in autumn or packed away again in spring, as is otherwise customary with the classic changing of bedding by season. Anyone who is particularly chilly in winter may also like to use melange flannel or classic Flannel bedding with its round 160 g/m² of fluff in addition – TENCEL remains the constant in the wardrobe that reliably carries through transitional periods and mild seasons. This reduces the overall required basic equipment of sets, and the existing bedding is used more evenly throughout the year instead of being stacked seasonally.
Easy to care for in everyday life: wash TENCEL at 40 degrees
The practical benefits are also evident in its care: biberna TENCEL bedding can be washed at 40 degrees and remains dimensionally stable and pleasantly grippy, without losing quality. In combination with the very good price-performance ratio, it is thus a quality that easily fits into the laundry rhythm of every household without having to take special consideration of gentle programs. The entire range of bedding from biberna is always delivered free of shipping costs and without a minimum order value within Germany – a special feature that distinguishes biberna from many other providers, where shipping is only free from a certain order value. This makes it easy to order the right all-season quality, regardless of how large the order is.
For whom TENCEL as an all-season quality is particularly worthwhile
People who are particularly sensitive to moisture at night or whose perception of warmth fluctuates strongly between summer and winter benefit especially: Anyone who quickly gets sweaty in summer and yet does not want to freeze in winter does not have to switch back and forth between two completely different qualities with TENCEL. Also for smaller apartments with limited wardrobe space, bedding that remains in use all year round is a practical relief, as fewer sets need to be kept at the same time. And because the moisture-regulating effect deprives bacteria and dust mites of their basis of life, TENCEL is also interesting for everyone for whom a hygienically balanced bed climate is particularly important.
