How to choose best bed sheets
We spend more than a third of our lives resting and/or sleeping. Our body, during this life cycle, carries out a series of physiological actions aimed at cell recovery and repair processes and micro-regeneration. The brain processes and re-selects all information. The quality of sleep determines these processes and it is increasingly necessary to bring our body in close contact with natural elements that can "protect" sleep, ensuring comfort, health and care. Each element of the system must be able to respond positively to the demands of our body, the bed sheets set being the first element with which our body remains in contact, must be even more so.What are the best sheets for your bed?
- Fibre and/or fibres quality;
- Construction methods;
- Origin of the fibres and Made in;
- The nature and/or presence of pollutants that can be released;
- Performance levels;
- Compatibility of the fibres with the physiology and the demands of the body;
- Possible contamination of the fibres used during use and at their end of life.
- Overall perception of comfort level;
- Fashion and glamour;
- Softness and perception/need for winding;
- Exclusivity and luxury.
What are the best luxury sheets for winter and summer?
Warm in winter and cool in summer, highly breathable in summer/spring and thermally efficient in autumn/winter, they are always able to maintain a high level of breathability. The bed sheets set consisting of fitted sheets and shee and top sheets must create a system capable of:- insulating the body from the surface layers of the mattresses (often, too often, consisting of synthetic fibres with non-existent perspiration and which can be a cause of heat accumulation);
- encouraging the body's dialogue with the external "world" based on its specific requests for heat and coolness, creating a naturally thermoregulated internal microclimate.
Which sheets are best to prevent sweating?
The ideal bed sheets must be able to limit and/or cancel:
- night sweating phenomena;
- perception of excessive heat;
- voluntary or involuntary movements due to poor breathability
What are the best bed sheets for health and body care?
For about 26 years of our life, our body is wrapped up in and in close contact with our bed sheets. Do we really know what our body is in contact with? In most cases, the sheets for bed are built with synthetic fibres derived from petroleum, obtained through invasive chemical processes, at other times, artificial viscose, created through chemical processes, starting from proteins and natural elements but of which, once the fibre has been obtained, no trace remains. In other cases, still poorly traceable natural fibres for reuse or recycling or organic with weak and poorly defined performance levels. Silk is, of course, made up of two proteins: sericin and the fibrous protein Fibroin. Fibrous proteins (fibroin, keratin, collagen, elastin and fibronogen) are the major elements that make up the human epidermis and hair. The amino acids present in sericin and fibroin are the healthiest and healing you could think of putting in contact with the body, in order to promote and encourage processes of care, beauty and micro-regeneration.
What are the best sheets for those suffering from dermatitis or allergies?
T.Silk silk is made from a thread with a completely smooth external surface, the result of natural extrusion technology. Unlike fibres such as wool or cotton, which have micro flakes on the surface, silk is the ideal fibre for the treatment of contact dermatitis, avoiding dangerous and painful micro-scratches during any type of movement, which causes skin micro-injuries. The silk sheets avoid any type of skin micro-injury. Benefit of satin sheets (100% Silk) is to prevent and to take care of the skin avoiding all contact dermatitis. The T.Silk silk prevents the accumulation of moisture and the creation of humid areas, an ideal environment for the proliferation of bacteria, mould and mites responsible for the primary forms of modern allergies. Silk is naturally anti-allergenic and removes mites. The Benefit of satin sheets (100% Silk) is to prevent passage and presence of mites and of all allergenies Choosing Nuvola, the T.Silk silk sheets set, means seeking at every moment, based on your physiological characteristics, the ideal temperature for your body, your personal comfort-zone, 12 months a year.
