HEFEL & Hologenix Unveil Wellness Retreat Line for Better Sleep

January, 2025, Los Angeles, California — The Wellness Retreat Line, a ground-breaking line of environmentally friendly bedding intended to improve sleep quality and aid in recuperation, is being introduced by two industry leaders in comfort and innovation: HEFEL, Austria’s top bedding company, and Hologenix, the pioneer in infrared technology textiles. With this collaboration, Hologenix and HEFEL are launching their first product together, combining CELLIANT® infrared (IR) technology with HEFEL’s experience in producing high-quality bedding.

CELLIANT Viscose, the first in-fiber sustainable viscose infrared solution, powers the Wellness Retreat Line, which includes down and fiber-filled sleep essentials like mattress toppers, pillows, and duvets. By converting body heat into infrared energy, CELLIANT’s patented minerals increase local circulation and oxygenation, promoting deeper sleep and a quicker recovery.

A Marriage of Science and Sustainability

The collection highlights CELLIANT Viscose, a nature-based fabric that enhances a product’s comfort and wearability and is known for its sustainable raw material sourcing – one of the most environmentally responsible infrared carrier options on the market, a credit to the impressive efforts of CELLIANT partner Kelheim Fibres. The Wellness Retreat Line combines this sustainable textile with TENCEL™ Lyocell, a silky, moisture-wicking fiber derived from renewable wood sources, that fosters temperature regulation, allergy support, and moisture control for the ideal sleep environment.

“A good night’s sleep can be the catalyst to a great day – when you’re well-rested you might feel happier, more productive, more active. Your sleep sets the tone for the day, which is why it is important to prioritize rest and recovery,” said Seth Casden, founder and CEO of Hologenix. “HEFEL is esteemed in Austria as bedding experts, so we were really honored and excited to partner with them on the new Wellness Retreat line. It is the perfect balance of comfort and practicality, and we can’t wait for customers to feel the benefits firsthand.”

A Customized Sleep Sanctuary For Every Bedroom

The Wellness Retreat Line leads with science-backed technology but also understands that sleep set-ups come with personal preferences. The new portfolio includes two options, so there is something for every type of sleeper:

• Fiber Collection: Offers pillows, comforters, and mattress toppers available in all standard sizes, blending CELLIANT Viscose with TENCEL™ Lyocell for exceptional temperature regulation and softness.

• Down Collection: Features three-chamber pillows and duvets in all standard sizes  crafted with RDS-certified, ultra-fine goose down, enveloped in a luxurious satin fabric made of CELLIANT Viscose and TENCEL™ Lyocell, which is woven exclusively at HEFEL’s in-house’s mill. These down-filled options promise unparalleled coziness and restorative benefits.

“At HEFEL, we consider ourselves innovators in the bedding industry and thanks to our partnership with Hologenix, we are able to launch a new regenerative wellness program called ‘Wellness Retreat’ at the Heimtextil Conference 2025,” said Ulrike Hefel, CEO of HEFEL. “In the down products of the Wellness Retreat line, CELLIANT Viscose fiber is seamlessly integrated into fabrics crafted exclusively at HEFEL’s in-house ticking weaving mill in Austria. In the quilted products, the fiber enhances comfort helping you fall asleep faster, achieve deeper sleep, and recover more quickly after physical activity.”
