LENZING™ Lyocell Fill: a touch of enhanced comfort Sinking into a pillow, snuggling under a cozy comforter, or resting atop a refreshing mattress pad could be an inviting experience with LENZING™ Lyocell Fill fibers. This expanded portfolio comes with effective moisture control for a natural dry feeling, contributing to thermal comfort essential for promoting better sleep.
Featuring two distinct linear densities and various cut lengths, the expanded fiber portfolio offers enhanced compatibility to blend seamlessly with other filling fibers like polyester, and filling materials like down. This versatility supports different filling technologies and product constructions, catering to diverse design and application needs and specific consumer preferences in home textiles, apparel and beyond.
