Lyocell is similar to viscose in that it is a regenerated cellulose fabric, but is made with a more eco-friendly process. TheU.S. Federal Trade Commissiondefines lyocell as rayons “composed of cellulose precipitated from an organic solution in which no substitution of the hydroxyl groups takes place and no chemical intermediates are formed” — essentially meaning it does not use the harmful chemical solvents normal viscoses use. Lyocell production also results in little waste product, but it is still relatively energy intensive.

 When selecting a hospital sheet set, it is important to consider the specific needs of the patient and the requirements of the healthcare facility.  For example, some patients may be sensitive to certain materials and require the use of hypoallergenic fitted medical bed sheets.  Additionally, the size and dimensions of the hospital bed should be considered to ensure that the medical bed sheets fit correctly and securely.
