LENZING™ Lyocell Fill expands portfolio to enhance comfort, resource efficiency and design versatility in filling applications

• A highly compatible blending partner, LENZING™ Lyocell Fill fibers now include a finer variant and a broader range of cut lengths, diversifying innovative filled product designs while enhancing thermal comfort.
• Besides thermal comfort and moisture control, LENZING™ Lyocell Fill fibers are produced with comparably less greenhouse gas emissions[1]^,[2] and offer an alternative to fossil-based materials[3], benefiting the planet, consumers and the value chain⁴.
• Lenzing will unveil the expanded portfolio during Heimtextil in Frankfurt, January 14–17, 2025.

Lenzing – The Lenzing Group, a leading supplier of regenerated cellulosic fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries, today announced the expansion of its LENZING™ Lyocell Fill portfolio within the TENCEL™ family of fibers. This broader portfolio expansion introduces a finer variant with various cut lengths, tailored for filling applications in home textiles and apparel.

With the planet at heart^2,[4], our expanded LENZING™ Lyocell Fill fibers, both EU Ecolabel-certified[5] and ClimatePartner-certified¹, are versatile and can offer an almost endless variety of product designs and functions,” said Caroline Ledl, Senior Director of Global Product and Application Management, Commercial Textile, Lenzing AG. “These fibers provide not only enhanced thermal comfort and moisture control[6] but also form-keeping properties[7]. Leveraging our decades of experience in refining filling materials, we believe our expanded fiber portfolio will inspire like-minded industry partners to create even more innovative designs across various product applications.”

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.^7,[8]^,[9]^,[10]

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.

The new, finer fibers, suitable for not only carding but blow-fill technology, enhance the sensorial experience in pillows, stuffed toys, and other lightweight applications. Meanwhile, the established, coarser fibers continue to deliver inherent moisture control⁶ and bulkiness for enhanced sleep comfort in comforters, quilts, and other home textile applications, particularly those using carding technology.

Manufacturers and consumers seeking to lower the consumption of fossil-based materials will benefit from the responsibly sourced³ and resource-efficiently produced² LENZING™ Lyocell Fill fibers, which are made from wood, a natural raw material that is both gentle on the skin⁶ and the environment.

The expanded LENZING™ Lyocell Fill portfolio will be unveiled at the Lenzing booth (Hall 11, booth #A11) during Heimtextil in Frankfurt, January 14–17, 2025. Visitors can connect with Lenzing experts and discover how these innovative fibers can elevate product offerings.
