Hybrid Silk

-

The Hybrid Botanic Silk Collection combines those same qualities of Tencel with the durability of supporting fibres. It’s a unique blend of fibres that provides the linen with a soft, cooling quality, and offers the added benefit of natural moisture-wicking properties. It’s also an especially hypoallerg­enic product, excellent for allergy-prone sleepers.

Ultra Absorbent

The bed linen in the Lenzing Modal Collection is made from pure beech wood cellulose, known for its silky hand-feel and lustrous qualities. This softness remains after repeated washing, thanks to a smooth cross-section of fibres. Also, the moisture absorbency is double that of cotton fibres, keeping you fresh and dry through the night – even in tropical Singapore.

Thermo-regulating Sateen

Made from the finest mercerised 100 percent Egyptian cotton sateen, the Signature Hotel Collection is impeccably soft and smooth, with an elegant matte sheen. The long staple fibres are stronger and more durable than standard cotton fibres; they also wick away moisture and help to regulate nocturnal temperatur­e.
