What's the difference?

TENCEL™ is a brand of fibers that we love for its ultra soft and silky smooth texture.

The TENCEL™ x Naia™ is a material designed by our fabric crafters using TENCEL™ fibers in a specification unique only to Oak & Sand™.  The result is a fabric that's ultra soft and silky smooth, with heightened strength and more crispness, enhancing resilience to pilling and wrinkling, yet maintaining its heavenly texture. 

Aesthetically, the TENCEL™ x Naia™  fabric also has a linen-like cozy look to it.

It is TENCEL™ fabric, but we've simply made it better, setting it apart from the usual generic and re-labeled products.

Feathery Soft & Silky Smooth Fabric

The fibers and the weave of a sheet determines its softness. Both our TENCEL™ and Naia fibers are naturally very soft while sateen weave techniques produce the smoothest sheets. By combining the right material with the best weaving technique for it, we're able to craft sheets featuring softness and smoothness unmatched by any others, resulting in a feathery soft and silky smooth texture.

We use premium single-ply yarns which are superior to double or triple twisted threads at the optimal true thread count of 300 per square inch. No overdoing, no gimmicks.

Fabric Crafter's Note: Soft sheets are extra comfortable and lustrous to the skin. Smooth texture reduces abrasive action, which makes it suitable babies and sensitive skin.

Highly Breathable and Cooling Sensation

Derived from eucalyptus trees grown in Europe (TENCEL™) and Pine/Eucalyptus trees sustainably grown in the USA (Naia™), the cellulose fibers are naturally porous. This results in a breathable sheet which allows air to flow through unhindered, keeping our body cool at optimal temperature. At a true thread count of 300 per inch, the yarns are woven at the best density which adds to the efficiency for air-flow.

Fabric Crafter's Note: Allows you to have uninterrupted rest, not waking up midway thought the night due to heat.

Moisture-Wicking & Non-Clingy to Skin

Not only does the cellulosic fibers allow our sheets to be highly breathable, they also grant the fabric its absorbent nature, keeping our body comfortable even on hot and humid nights. Due to its natural origins, the sheets feel pleasant on skin and isn't as tacky or clingy to the skin even when wet unlike synthetic blends such as microfiber and satin.

Fabric Crafter's Note: Pleasant to touch. Keeps the body cool and dry even in humid conditions. Suitable for all sleepers, including those who may sweat during the night.

Hypoallergenic & Bacteria-retardation Properties

TENCEL™ is very well known for being a hypoallergenic material, which means it is not made with substances known to commonly cause allergic reactions. Its hydrophilic fibers absorb water quickly and prevents saturated conditions from forming, which in turn reduces the the possibility for allergens and microbes to thrive.

With inherent quick-drying and cool-to-touch properties, fabrics made with Naia™ cellulosic yarn keep your skin feeling cool and dry. Similarly to TENCEL™'s hypoallergenic nature, fabrics made of Naia™ are skin friendly, ensuring comfort for even the most sensitive skin.

Fabric Crafter's Note: The combination of the fiber properties allow the fabric to be naturally hypoallergenic and the moisture wicking properties makes it unfavorable for bacteria growth. For people with sensitive skin that easily reacts to allergens, this is a godsend.

Made from Environmental-Friendly & Sustainable Eucalyptus/Pine Forests

Farmed from sustainable wood sources that doesn't require large amounts of water and created with a closed-loop process, TENCEL™ sheets are arguably the most eco-friendly option available in the world. We now have the option to choose materials that are not only healthy to our skin, but to our planet as well. 

Naia™ Fibers are responsibly sourced from sustainably managed pine and eucalyptus forests and plantations. Eastman holds FSC® and PEFC™ Chain
of Custody certification, and all suppliers hold internationally recognized forestry certifications as well. 

Fabric Crafter's Note: Choosing eco-friendly products help keep our resources on earth sustainable.

Premier Workmanship

We re-examined and improved the process of crafting our sheets, stitch by stitch. Our TENCEL™ X Naia™ series are made by hand, using the most durable structure and method of stitching which is finer than standards common in the industry. These finer details are the mark of true quality, commonly unseen by the masses. Although this may not be the fastest way to craft and produce, we're able to ensure the utmost quality of our sheets.

Fabric Crafter's Note: A sturdier and finer technique of stitching allows our sheets stronger durability even at its edges. We place more emphasis on quality rather than the speed of crafting. sacrificing production numbers for better quality. The stitching can be easily differentiated when compared side by side with others.

Easy to Wash and Anti-Wrinkle

Our modern environment requires us to be fast paced, and the ease of handling sheets play an important role. Since our latest TENCEL™ X Naia blend is naturally even more resistant to wrinkles so there is no need to keep the sheets ironed. However, you may still do so if you prefer a crisper texture.

These sheets can be machine washed in cold to luke-warm water with mild detergents. They can also be tumble-dried for convenience (remember to remove once dried), but we suggest hanging them out to dry naturally to further reduce wrinkles!

Fabric Crafter's Note: No hassle in sheet maintenance and washing. Simply and easy washing instructions. Please read our simple washing instructions for best results by clicking here.

Strong Fibers, Durable Sheets

Built to last, the fibers itself are long and strong, resulting in sheets that doesn't pile easily while portraying great strength. Although professionals recommend having new sheets every now and then, we all know that doesn't really happen, that's why sheets that are strong and durable will easily outlive their lifespan and provide great value for the sleepers. 

When blended with our TENCEL™ fibers, Naia™ consistently reduces pilling on fabrics, even after extended wear and repeated washes. This results in greater resistance against pilling.


Fabric Crafter's Note: Sheets stay comfortable even after washes without piling easily. They also last a long time so there is no need to buy new sheets often, making it worthwhile for the sheet owners.
