As modern citizens, many of us have busy schedules and we all want to feel comfortable when home. From a psychological perspective, the way we design and structure our home environment affects our mood. Even small changes to colors, layout, and fabrics can improve one’s mood and evoke positive feelings. Especially in areas such as living room, bathroom and bedrooms, the choice of fabrics is extremely important as these places are where we relax after a long busy day.

Some people struggle to get a few relaxing hours at home, let alone precious eight hours of sleep. They may blame the busy and stressful schedules as culprits of bad quality sleep or less enjoyable time at home. But sometimes, it could be just the texture and breathability of the fabrics used in carpets, towels and bedding that make you feel “meh”. Good quality fabrics in home products such as bath towels and carpets can give a naturally soft touch on your skin. Especially fabrics made of botanic and natural materials are less likely to irritate or trigger skin allergies, making you feel more relaxed and comfortable.

Therefore, Sheridan’s sustainable collection, the TENCEL™ X REFIBRA™ technology sheet set using 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers, is lightweight and silky-soft.

With botanic materials, not only will your sleep quality benefit, but you’ll gain the peace of mind by choosing responsible products that contribute to making the world a more sustainable and eco-conscious place.
