DermaTherapy Therapeutic Bedding

DermaTherapy Therapeutic Bedding is for anyone who suffers from disrupted sleep whether it be from itching all night long with sensitive skin, or overheating at night and waking up in pools of sweat.

Dermatherapy Therapeutic Bedding has been developed especially for people with conditions like eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, or who suffer from dry and delicate skin along with individuals suffering from night sweats, menopausal hot flushes and pressure sores.

DermaTherapy’s unique weave construction channels heat and moisture away from the skin,evenly distributing it over the entire sheet leaving a cleaner, drier and smoother surface, minimising friction with the skin, leading to a restful night’s sleep.

Available for cots through to king size beds, DermaTherapy’s special fibre structure also prevents loose fibres protruding from the surface and irritating delicate and broken skin. A sleep study, of patients with mild atopic dermatitis and eczema, demonstrated significant improvements in the severity of the condition, level of itching and perceived quality of life after only eight weeks of using the bedding.

The fabric's durable, antimicrobial protection helps maintain freshness whilst the special 'soil release' finish helps remove oils, creams blood and other stains.

A second sleep study undertaken at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in the USA has proven that after eight weeks of sleeping on DermaTherapy sheets, participants suffering from hot flushes and night sweats had regained normal sleep patterns with the amount of uninterrupted sleep, ability to keep cool, ability to keep dry and general comfort improving after just two weeks.

Although designed for the healthcare market, comfort is by no means compromised with DermaTherapy. Considerably smoother, lighter and thinner than cotton, these special sheets are as soft as the highest percentile Egyptian cotton sheets and feel equally luxurious to touch, and with an average pore size of just 8.5 microns it has the added advantage of helping to protect against dust mites.

Although originally designed for use in hospitals, DermaTherapy can withstand washing temperatures of up to 90oC but can be laundered just as efficiently at 30oC, helping the consumer to do their bit for the environment and reduce CO2 emissions. Fabric Conditioners are also unnecessary, thus avoiding another potential allergen source.
