Our Story
Who founded Mynt Lab?
Mynt Lab was founded by Michelle Tweddle, a chronic insomniac who spent 18 months developing MyntFusion™ - a mint-infused, plant-based fabric designed to help people sleep cooler and wake up restored. [Read our full story here.]
Is Mynt Lab an Australian brand?
Yes. Mynt Lab is proudly Australian-founded and based in Melbourne. We ship worldwide from Australia.
Why was Mynt Lab created?
After years of broken sleep, founder Michelle Tweddle discovered how much bedding fabric affects sleep quality. She created MyntFusion™ to solve the problems she couldn't find solutions for - overheating, restless nights, and waking up exhausted.
Our Fabrics
What is MyntFusion™ fabric made from?
MyntFusion™ is our proprietary blend of TENCEL™ Lyocell and Naia™ fibres, derived from sustainably sourced eucalyptus and pine. The fabric is then infused with mint for active cooling. This combination delivers breathability, silky softness, and long-lasting durability.
Why is the fabric infused with mint?
Mint has natural cooling properties. We micro-encapsulate menthol within the fibres, which releases a gentle cooling sensation when it touches your skin. There's no scent - just a noticeably cooler, more comfortable sleep surface, especially for those who overheat at night.
Does the fabric have a scent?
No - there's no smell at all. Any natural aromas from the eucalyptus, pine, and mint are removed during processing. The fabric feels fresh and clean without any added fragrance.
Is MyntFusion™ good for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes - MyntFusion™ is naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin. The smooth fibres reduce friction and irritation, while the antibacterial properties help keep your sleep surface cleaner between washes. It's also free from harsh chemicals and certified safe by OEKO-TEX®.
Is the fabric safe for pets?
Yes, MyntFusion™ is safe for pets. While eucalyptus can be toxic to animals in its natural form, the oil is removed during processing, eliminating any risk. Our products are crafted from non-toxic, plant-based materials, providing a gentle, clean surface that's safe for everyone in the household, including your furry friends.
Is MyntFusion™ good for hot sleepers and night sweats?
Yes - it's specifically designed for people who overheat at night. MyntFusion™ has been independently tested with a Q-max score of 0.34, which means it feels noticeably cooler to the touch than cotton. Combined with its breathable, moisture-wicking properties, it helps regulate your body temperature throughout the night.
How does MyntFusion™ compare to bamboo sheets?
Most "bamboo" bedding is actually bamboo viscose, made through a chemical-intensive process. MyntFusion™ uses a closed-loop production method that's gentler on the environment. It's also actively cooling (not just breathable), more resistant to pilling, and designed specifically to help with temperature regulation and skin comfort.
What is TENCEL™ lyocell?
TENCEL™ lyocell is a natural fibre made from sustainably sourced eucalyptus wood pulp. It is produced by Lenzing AG using a closed-loop process that recovers 99% of water and solvents, making it one of the most environmentally responsible fibres available. TENCEL™ is known for its exceptional softness, breathability and natural moisture management. It is certified biodegradable and compostable.
What is the difference between MyntFusion™ and MyntBalance™?
MyntFusion™ (Cooling Collection) is our original collection, made from bamboo sateen infused with mint for active cooling. It features a 400 thread count, a silky lustrous finish and is lab-tested to feel 3x cooler than cotton. Best for hot sleepers and those who overheat at night. Available in 7 colours.
MyntBalance™ (Balancing Collection) is made from 100% TENCEL™ lyocell sourced from eucalyptus forests. Rather than actively cooling, it adapts to your body temperature throughout the night, keeping you comfortable in every season. It has a soft matte finish and is produced using a closed-loop sustainable process. Available in 3 colours (Snow, Petal and Latte).
Both collections are OEKO-TEX® certified, naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, plant-based and designed in Melbourne.
Which Collection is right for me?
Choose MyntFusion™ if: You sleep hot, experience night sweats or want active cooling technology. The mint infusion creates a noticeably cool-to-the-touch sensation that lasts wash after wash.
Choose MyntBalance™ if: You want year-round comfort that adapts to your body. Ideal for couples with different temperature preferences, seasonal sleepers or anyone who prefers a soft matte finish over a silky one. TENCEL™ naturally regulates temperature without active cooling.
Not sure? Our team is happy to help. Email us at hello@myntlab.com.
Can I mix and match between collections?
You can absolutely purchase items from both ranges. However, because MyntFusion™ has a silky lustrous finish and MyntBalance™ has a soft matte finish, we recommend keeping your sheet set and pillowcases within the same collection for the most cohesive feel. Bundles are built within a single collection for the best matched fabric experience.
Our Products
How do Mynt Lab's products help improve sleep quality?
Both MyntFusion™ and MyntBalance™ are designed to help your body stay at a comfortable temperature throughout the night. MyntFusion™ uses mint-infused active cooling, while MyntBalance™ uses TENCEL™ lyocell's natural temperature regulation. This means fewer wake-ups, less tossing and turning, and deeper, more restorative sleep regardless of which collection you choose.
What if I don't sleep hot?
If you do not sleep hot, MyntBalance™ may be your ideal choice. Made from 100% TENCEL™ lyocell, it naturally adapts to your body temperature rather than actively cooling. MyntFusion™ is also temperature-regulating (not just cooling), so it will not make you feel cold. Both collections help maintain a comfortable sleep temperature throughout the night.
Will your fitted sheets fit deep mattresses?
Yes! Our fitted sheets are designed with deep pockets to fit most mattresses, including thicker ones or those with mattress toppers. Depending on your bed size, the pockets range from 40-50cm deep, ensuring a snug and secure fit for deeper mattresses.
Does the sleep mask block out all light?
Yes - our sleep mask is designed for total blackout. The multi-layered padded design blocks light completely, including around the nose and cheeks, so you can rest in complete darkness.
Is the sleep mask comfortable for side sleepers?
Yes - the sleep mask is lightweight with a low-profile design, so it won't feel bulky or shift when you sleep on your side. The adjustable strap keeps it secure without adding pressure, and the soft padding sits comfortably against your face in any position.
Sustainability & Ethical Practices
Is your fabric biodegradable?
Yes - MyntFusion™ is made from 100% plant-based fibres, which are fully biodegradable at the end of their lifecycle.
How sustainable is your production process?
We use a closed-loop production process that recycles 99% of water and solvents, minimising waste and reducing emissions. This eco-conscious system allows us to create premium fabrics with minimal environmental impact.
Is your packaging eco-friendly?
Yes, our packaging is FSC-certified and plastic-free, made from recyclable materials to ensure it’s as eco-friendly as our products.
Where are your products made?
Our products begin their journey with sustainably sourced fibers. We source eucalyptus and pine wood from FSC- and PEFC-certified forests in Austria, the U.S., and Brazil. These raw materials are processed close to their sources to reduce transport emissions and environmental impact. Once processed, the fibres are shipped by sea to further minimise emissions, arriving at a mill near our manufacturing facility.
The final production steps are completed in our factory in China, which operates under strict ethical standards and is SEDEX-audited to ensure safe, fair working conditions and environmentally responsible practices.
Each product is designed in Melbourne, Australia, with a focus on combining luxury, sustainability, and durability.
Do you contribute to any environmental initiatives?
Yes - we're members of 1% for the Planet, which means we donate 1% of our annual revenue to environmental nonprofits focused on conservation, climate action, and sustainable development.
What certifications does Mynt Lab have?
Our fibres are sourced from FSC- and PEFC-certified forests, our fabric is OEKO-TEX® certified (tested free from harmful substances), and our factory is SEDEX-audited for ethical labour practices. Our packaging is also FSC-certified.
Is MyntFusion™ more sustainable than bamboo bedding?
Most bamboo bedding is made from bamboo viscose, which requires a chemical-intensive process. MyntFusion™ uses a closed-loop production method that recycles 99% of water and solvents, making it a more environmentally responsible choice. Our fibres are also sourced from certified, sustainably managed forests.
Product Care
How do I care for my items?
MyntFusion™ is designed for easy care — machine washable, dryer-safe, and resistant to pilling.
For best results:
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
- Use a mild detergent (avoid fabric softener)
- Tumble dry on low or hang to dry
- Iron on low if needed
- Avoid bleach and dry cleaning
Does the mint infusion wash out?
No - the mint is embedded into the fibres using micro-encapsulation, not applied as a surface treatment. This means the cooling properties are designed to last through regular washing and use.
Can I iron or tumble dry the bedding?
Yes to both. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. If you prefer to iron, use a low setting. The fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant, so ironing is usually optional.
Will the fabric hold up over time?
Yes - MyntFusion™ is engineered for durability. The two-fibre blend resists pilling, maintains its softness, and holds its colour wash after wash. With proper care, your bedding will stay comfortable and perform well for years.
Will the fabric pill?
MyntFusion™ is highly resistant to pilling. The tight weave and durable fibre blend are designed to stay smooth wash after wash. We recommend washing on a gentle cycle and avoiding fabric softeners to keep them in best condition.
Do I need to wash my bedding before first use?
We recommend washing your bedding before first use. This removes any residue from the production process and helps the fibres fully soften. You'll notice it gets even softer after the first few washes.
Why shouldn't I use fabric softener?
Fabric softener leaves a coating on fibres that can reduce breathability and affect the cooling properties of MyntFusion™. The fabric is naturally soft - no softener needed.

What is the 60-Night Sleep Trial?
The 60-Night Sleep Trial lets you try eligible bedding at home for up to 60 nights from delivery. It covers your first purchase of each fitted sheet, flat sheet, sheet set, duvet cover, pillowcase or bedding-bundle type. Promotional pricing and standard discount codes do not remove the trial.

Are discounted items eligible for return or the sleep trial?

MyntBalance™ Collection
What is MyntBalance™ made from?
MyntBalance™ is made from 100% TENCEL™ lyocell, a premium fibre derived from sustainably sourced eucalyptus wood pulp. It is produced using a closed-loop process that recovers 99% of water and solvents, making it one of the most environmentally responsible fabrics in the world. The result is bedding that is naturally soft, breathable and gentle on skin.
How does MyntBalance™ regulate temperature?
Unlike MyntFusion™ which uses mint infusion for active cooling, MyntBalance™ works with your body's natural temperature. TENCEL™ fibres manage moisture at the fibre core, absorbing excess heat and humidity when you are warm and retaining warmth when you are cool. This makes it ideal for year-round use and for couples with different sleep temperatures.
Who is MyntBalance™ best for?
MyntBalance™ is ideal for sleepers who want consistent, year-round comfort without extremes. It is especially suited to couples where one partner sleeps hot and the other cold, anyone who experiences seasonal temperature changes, people who prefer a soft matte finish over a silky one, and those who prioritise sustainability in their purchasing decisions.
What colours does MyntBalance™ come in?
MyntBalance™ is available in three timeless neutral tones: Snow (a crisp, pure white), Petal (a soft blush pink) and Latte (a warm, creamy brown). These versatile colours are designed to complement any bedroom aesthetic.
How do I care for MyntBalance™ bedding?
MyntBalance™ is designed for easy care:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water
- Use a mild detergent (avoid fabric softener)
- Tumble dry on low or line dry
- Iron on low if needed
- Avoid bleach and dry cleaning
TENCEL™ naturally stays soft wash after wash without any special treatment.
Is MyntBalance™ suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes. TENCEL™ lyocell has an exceptionally smooth fibre surface that minimises friction and irritation, making it naturally gentle on sensitive, reactive and acne-prone skin. It is hypoallergenic and OEKO-TEX® certified safe, with no chemical treatments required for softness.
Does MyntBalance™ qualify for the 60-Night Sleep Trial?
Yes. MyntBalance™ products are covered by our 60-Night Sleep Trial on the same terms as MyntFusion™. Use and wash your bedding for up to 60 nights, and if you are not completely satisfied, return it for a full refund. Visit our Sleep Trial page for full details.
