Black bed sheets, on the other hand, can create a bold and eye-catching look, perfect for those who want to make a statement with their bedding.
Linen is another natural fiber derived from the flax plant. Instead of fluffy cotton bolls, linen fibers are produced from the stems of flax.

Tencel™ is a branded material for Lyocell, a product of wood pulp found in certain trees — particularly fast-growing eucalyptus. This environmentally friendly material is wrinkle-resistant and is produced using a closed-loop process, so any waste created while making the material is recycled and reused.
Soft, smooth, and hypoallergenic, Tencel™ is a great choice for eco-conscious consumers. However, keep in mind that it’s not quite as breathable as cotton or linen.
