How to Care for TENCEL™ Modal Pajamas: Tumble Dry or Hang Dry?

When you invest in luxury sleepwear, proper care helps preserve the softness, drape, and comfort that made you fall in love with it in the first place.

One of the most common questions we receive is whether TENCEL Modal pajamas should be tumble dried or hang dried. The good news is that TENCEL Modal is designed to be both durable and easy to care for. However, a few simple habits can help your sleepwear look and feel beautiful for years to come.

What Is TENCEL Modal?

TENCEL Modal is a premium fiber derived from sustainably sourced beechwood trees. Known for its exceptional softness, breathability, and smooth drape, it has become a favorite fabric for luxury sleepwear.

Unlike many synthetic fabrics, TENCEL Modal feels cool against the skin, resists stiffness after washing, and maintains its softness over time when cared for properly.

Can You Put TENCEL Modal in the Dryer?

Yes. Most TENCEL Modal garments can be tumble dried on a low heat setting.

High heat, however, can gradually shorten the lifespan of any fabric, including TENCEL Modal. Excessive heat may contribute to unnecessary wear, shrinkage, or a reduction in the fabric's naturally smooth finish over time.

For best results, always follow the care instructions provided on your garment label.

Is Hang Drying Better?

If your goal is to maximize the life of your sleepwear, hang drying is often the gentlest option.

• Air drying helps:
• Preserve softness
• Reduce fabric stress
• Minimize exposure to heat
• Maintain the garment's shape and drape

Many people find that TENCEL Modal dries relatively quickly compared to heavier fabrics, making hang drying a simple option for everyday care.

Moon & Mare's Recommendation

To keep your Moon & Mare sleepwear looking its best, we recommend:

• Machine wash cold with similar colors
• Use a gentle detergent
• Avoid bleach
• Tumble dry low or hang dry
• Remove promptly after drying

For the longest-lasting softness and appearance, hang drying is preferred whenever possible.

Luxury That Lasts

One of the reasons we chose TENCEL Modal for our sleepwear is its ability to combine comfort, breathability, and durability in a single fabric.

With proper care, your favorite pajamas can remain soft, elegant, and comfortable night after night.

At Moon & Mare, we believe true luxury is found in the pieces you reach for again and again—and caring for them well helps them stay beautiful for years to come.
