Enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep at home or away
If you have an itchy skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, or you suffer from night sweats, staying away from home can be uncomfortable. Standard cotton or polycotton bed linens can be abrasive on sensitive, broken skin. The unique DermaTherapy fabric is specifically designed to create a much smoother, low-friction sleeping surface. This Sleepsac is a soft fabric sleeping bag with an integrated pillow case. It can be used at home or can be taken with you on holidays or trips away.
Channels away moisture to keep you dry at night
The unique microfibres direct moisture and perspiration away from your skin and disperse it across a wider area on the surface of the fabric, enabling it to quickly evaporate. This ‘channelling’ effect helps to keep you dry and cool throughout the night. This sleeping bag is ideal if you have night sweats or are prone to overheating at night. Overheating can also exacerbate eczema, so this feature is an added benefit if you have an itchy skin condition.
Antimicrobial finish helps to maintain hygiene and freshness
The antimicrobial treatment helps to reduce build-up of bacteria and germs within the Sleepsac, even after washing. It keeps your sleeping bag fresh and eliminates fabric odours that bacteria can cause.
Dust mite proof and washable at high temperatures
The DermaTherapy® Bedding is dust mite proof, which can be a great advantage to people with eczema. With a pore density of less than 8.5 microns, the tightly woven fabric physically blocks out the mites and their allergens.
The SleepSac can also be washed on a hot wash, which not only helps to remove the residues of creams and oils but will also kill any dust mites that get onto the surface. The ‘soil release’ finish helps to lift stubborn stains and residues more easily on a standard wash – ideal for removing greasy ointments and blood stains from scratching.
How Dermatherapy Bedding Works
DermaTherapy is designed to channel moisture away from the skin and distribute it evenly to evaporate over the whole surface of the bedding allowing the skin to remain dry.
DermaTherapy is constructed from uniquely shaped microfibres which create channels in the fabric to wick moisture away from the skin
- The uniquely structured microfibres draw and channel moisture away from the skin and distribute it evenly over the whole surface of the bedding.
- The moisture evaporates from the whole surface of the bedding, allowing the skin to remain dry.The continuous filament woven yarns are designed to be smooth – minimising friction with the skin. DermaTherapy is 37% smoother than cotton sheets.
The loose fibres protruding from the surface of polycotton bedding creates lint that you see in your tumble dryer. These loose fibres can also be transmitted through the air and can irritate delicate and broken skin. DermaTherapy produces no lint and so removes this potential problem. It also means that the fabric will not wear out as quickly as conventional bedding. A durable antimicrobial finish helps maintain fabric freshness and eliminates odours caused by bacteria and fungi.
- The development of this fabric technology results in a cleaner, drier, smoother and more comfortable sleeping surface. For those who suffer from skin conditions or tend to over-heat at night the difference is truly remarkable.
- DermaTherapy also has a soil release mechanism which helps to remove oils, medications and blood from the fabric using normal washing methods
