About LYOBED
A Personal Struggle Turned into Innovation
I'm Paul Martin, a French expat living in Vietnam. For years, I struggled with skin issues, waking up with irritation and breakouts that wouldn’t go away. I tried everything—new skincare routines, changing my diet—but I never thought that something as simple as my pillowcase could be the real problem.
Like many, I slept on cotton pillowcases, thinking they were the best choice. But in reality, they trapped heat, absorbed oils and bacteria, and made my skin worse. Living in a warm climate, the high temperatures only made things more unbearable.
Determined to find a better solution, I started researching alternative fabrics. That’s when I discovered Tencel, a revolutionary fiber made from eucalyptus pulp. But the real turning point came when I visited a Vietnamese factory specializing in Tencel production. Seeing the craftsmanship, the cutting-edge technology, and the commitment to sustainability firsthand made me realize the true potential of this fabric.
When I switched to a Tencel pillowcase, everything changed. My skin became calmer, less irritated, and more refreshed every morning. This simple change made such a huge difference in my life that I knew I had to share it with others.
But I didn’t want just any Tencel pillowcase. I wanted to create the highest quality, sourced from Vietnam, a country leading in sustainable textile innovation. I wanted to give people the chance to experience what I had felt—the relief of sleeping on a fabric that works with your skin, not against it.
The Birth of LYOBED
When it came time to create my brand, I wanted the name to reflect its essence. That’s how LYOBED was born—a mix between Lyocell (the technical name for Tencel) and Bed, the place where your skin regenerates.
LYOBED is more than just a pillowcase. It’s a fusion of skincare and sleep innovation, designed to protect your skin while offering the luxury of softness and breathability.
