If you’ve ever woken up in a pool of sweat, tugged at scratchy sheets in frustration, or found yourself sneezing through the night, your bedding might be to blame.
For decades, cotton, microfiber and polyester have ruled the bedding world. But what if there was something better? Something cooler, softer, more sustainable and scientifically backed to be gentler on skin and better for sleep?
Enter eucalyptus sheets. Once a niche favourite among eco-conscious sleepers, they’ve become the gold standard for those who want softness without the sweat, and luxury without the guilt.
In this article, we’ll explore why eucalyptus bedding is revolutionising the way we sleep—and why it might just be the upgrade your bedroom (and your body) has been craving.
Why Your Current Sheets Could Be Disrupting Your Sleep
You might not think much about your sheets until you’re tossing and turning at 3 a.m. But the fabric you sleep on affects everything from skin health to body temperature to the quality of your rest.
Traditional fabrics like polyester, flannel, and even high-thread-count cotton - if not organic - come with hidden downsides:
-
Trap body heat, leading to overheating and night sweats
-
Hold onto moisture, creating a breeding ground for bacteria
-
Irritate skin, especially when treated with chemical softeners or dyes
-
Harbour allergens, like dust mites, mould spores, and dead skin cells
If you’ve experienced breakouts, allergies, or insomnia, your bedding could be playing a silent but powerful role.
What Are Eucalyptus Sheets?
Eucalyptus sheets are made from TENCEL™ lyocell, a fibre derived from sustainably grown eucalyptus trees. What makes them special is not just the source material—but how they’re processed.
Unlike traditional textiles, eucalyptus fibres are:
-
Made using a closed-loop production system, which recycles 99% of water and solvents
-
Free from toxic chemicals or harsh dyes
-
Naturally biodegradable and compostable
-
Produced using 10x less water than non organic cotton
But their sustainability is only half the story. What really sets eucalyptus apart is how it feels.
The 5 Key Benefits of Eucalyptus Bedding
1. Unmatched Softness
Eucalyptus fibres are smooth on a microscopic level meaning they glide over your skin like silk without the need for chemical softeners. Even better? They stay soft wash after wash.
2. Temperature Regulation
No more sweating through your sheets. Eucalyptus regulates body temperature by allowing heat to escape and moisture to evaporate quickly - ideal for hot sleepers and hormonal changes.
3. Naturally Hypoallergenic
Thanks to its antimicrobial and moisture-resistant nature, eucalyptus is inhospitable to bacteria, dust mites, and mould. Say goodbye to nighttime allergies and skin irritation.
4. Zero Static, Zero Friction
Eucalyptus fibres carry no static charge and don’t tug at your hair or skin. That means smoother skin, less hair breakage, and no more waking up with creased cheeks or tangled hair.
5. Sustainable & Ethical
Eucalyptus trees grow quickly, require no irrigation or pesticides, and are processed in a way that’s low-impact and waste-free. These are the most eco-friendly sheets on the planet and fully biodegradable.
Pair With the Right Pillow for Maximum Comfort
For the best sleep experience, pair eucalyptus sheets with equally gentle pillows. Our bamboo pillows are filled with a plush, breathable blend of recycled fibre and bamboo. Recommended by osteopaths and designed by sleep scientists, they complement eucalyptus sheets perfectly for cooling, all-position comfort.
Slip them into matching eucalyptus silk pillowcases, and you’ll wonder why you ever settled for anything else.
Easy to Care For, Built to Last
Despite their luxurious feel, eucalyptus sheets are surprisingly durable. They resist pilling, won’t lose shape, and stay fresh longer between washes thanks to their moisture-wicking and antibacterial properties.
Care Tips:
-
Machine wash cold or warm, gentle cycle
-
Line dry or tumble dry low
-
Avoid fabric softeners (they’re not needed!)
