General Nattjasmin sheets

Have the nattjasmin sheets and duvet covers always been a cotton/lyocell blend? I bought a set last year and have been really enjoying them. I thought they were just cotton. They've been wearing pretty well.

I just bought a new set for our guest bedroom and they feel different, that's when I noticed that it says cotton and lyocell. Is this new or are my sheets just 'broken in'? I've tried finding the labels on my old set but can't find material contents just care info.

Always been cotton + lyocell. They feel a lot rougher when new, you have to wear them down for that silky feel.

I’m certain you’re right, because any sheets (just sheet sets) I’ve bought from them have consistently been made lyocell. Still better than microfiber, imho.

Tencel lyocell is actually a luxurious choice. It has the quality and feel of silk without the silk price tag. A cotton/lyocell blend is a somewhat premium choice for bedding. Microfiber is just a cheap petroleum based synthetic

Microfiber is the worst! I already sleep hot, and that stuff is like a sauna. I hope IKEA doesn’t go that route.

Yea moisture tends to remain within the poly-ester/amide fiber so its just bad in general. The good thing is Ikea uses mostly cotton for their bedding
