DermaTherapy Bedding - information on how the bedding works. Cleaner - Drier

HOW IT 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

Comparison with Conventional Bedding

The loose fibres protruding from the surface of polycotton and pure cotton 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.Studies have confirmed that compared with standard cotton bedding DermaTherapy is:

• 29% lighter
• 43% thinner
• 53% more supple
• 37% smoother
• Restores dryness in 25 minutes

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.

Skin problems Constributing Factors	DermaTherapy	Cotton
Moisture Control	Fibres wick moisture away quickly. Skin stays drier and less prone to irritation.	Absorbs moisture less quickly. Reduced evaporation and prolonged drying, leaving skin damp.
Friction	Extremely smooth sleep surface. Minimises abrasion. No protruding short fibres.	Tiny fibres protrude and can irritate sensitive skin.
Soil Release	Special finish aids release of soiling caused by blood and oily stains.	Cotton bedding has no special treatment to enhance cleanability.
Microbial Control	Durable antibacterial treatment helps maintain freshness and eliminates odours on the fabric caused by germs and bacteria.	Cotton has no protection against these organisms.
