Tencel Modal

Better Than Bamboo.Buttery-soft, breathable and more durable than bamboo, TENCEL™ Modal is made for sensitive skinand everyday play. Its moisture-regulating fibers help keep little explorers comfortable, while maintaining their softness wash after wash.

Created by a mom who gets it

When my son developed eczema, I quickly learned that soft clothes weren’t enough. During a flare, keeping his little hands from scratching was a challenge—and the mittens and scratch sleeves we relied on couldn’t always keep up with an active toddler.

That’s why I created Silk & Slumber: thoughtfully designed clothing that pairs buttery-soft TENCEL™ Modal with roomy 100% Mulberry Silk foldover mittens, giving sensitive little explorers the freedom to play with protection built right in.

FAQs

What is TENCEL™ modal?

TENCEL™ Modal is a soft, plant-derived fiber made from responsibly sourced wood. Known for its smooth feel, moisture regulation, and long-lasting softness, it’s one of the reasons our clothing feels so comfortable against sensitive skin.

Is TENCEL™ Modal good for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

We chose TENCEL™ Modal with sensitive skin in mind. Its fibers are naturally soft and smooth to the touch and help manage moisture for a drier feel against the skin—qualities we love for little ones with easily irritated, eczema-prone skin.

How does TENCEL™ Modal compare to bamboo?

Both are popular for their softness, but we chose TENCEL™ Modal for its combination of buttery-soft comfort, moisture regulation, and durability. Its fibers are designed to maintain their softness through repeated washing—perfect for clothes made to keep up with everyday play.

How should I care for TENCEL™ Modal and Mulberry Silk?

Compared to bamboo, Tencel Modal is softer, more breathable, more absorbent, and more sustainably made
