TENCEL™ vs. Cotton – Which is Softer?
The Showdown of Two Sleep Legends
When it comes to softness, both TENCEL™ and cotton are standout contenders — but their feel, performance, and benefits vary in subtle yet significant ways. Let’s break it down:

Comfortable, may feel slightly coarser over time |
|
Breathability |
Excellent moisture-wicking, stays cool |
Very breathable, especially in percale weave |
|
Durability |

Durable but can fade or thin over many washes |

The Verdict: Which is Softer?
TENCEL™ wins when it comes to silkiness and next-to-skin comfort — especially if you love that smooth, breathable, and cool feel.
High-quality cotton (especially Egyptian or Pima) still offers that familiar crisp softness many associate with hotel bedding.
