A Tencel silk king duvet and quilt cover in ten colours. Tencel is the fibre worth knowing about: made from wood pulp, it moves moisture away from the skin better than cotton and feels cool and smooth like silk — which makes it the rare bedding that looks luxurious and actually sleeps cooler rather than warmer.

Buying guide
This is the set to choose if someone in the bed sleeps hot — Tencel's moisture handling is its real advantage over both cotton and polyester satin. Wash cool and gently; hot washing weakens the fibre over time. Skip fabric softener, which coats the fibre and undoes the moisture wicking you paid for.
How it compares
Against cotton, Tencel is cooler and smoother and needs gentler washing. Against polyester satin, it breathes properly instead of trapping heat. Against real silk, it costs a fraction and survives machine washing.
