Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tencel Modal?

Tencel® Modal is a bio-based material which comes from beech trees sustainably harvested by Lenzing. Lenzing ensures its trees do not come from ancient and endangered forests, and manufactures their fibers in a closed-loop production process where any chemicals are recovered or transformed. Tencel® Modal is a biodegradable material. 

Do you use synthetic fabrics?

No. We believe that what we put on our bodies matters, and we wouldn’t want to be sleeping in plastic. While there are some semi eco-friendly synthetic options out there like recycled polyester, this is not something we would want to sleep in as it is not breathable or moisture absorbent, and does not take natural dye as well as natural or bio-based fibers.

Are your products vegan?

Yes, all Half Asleep products are vegan and cruelty free.

How do you minimize waste?

We use leftover materials whenever possible to avoid waste. Our Scrunchies, for example, are made with fabric offcuts from the production of our Classics Collection.

What packaging do you use to ship your orders?

All of our hangtags, business cards, and thank you notes are made using cotton paper, which is made with cotton fabric scraps from the garment industry. Our packaging is either compostable, biodegradable, and/or recycled. 

Do you use virgin plastic?

No, our orders are shipped plastic-free using a box made of a combination of recycled paper and FSC certified paper to ensure strength and durability. They are recyclable and biodegradable. The garment or accessories you ordered will be inside of transparent bags made of recycled plastic.
