Wicking Sleepwear for a Great Night's Sleep
Posted on: September 14, 2011
The many demands of today's busy lifestyle means more than ever, getting a peaceful night's sleep is paramount. Many women simply don't realise that the attire you wear to bed can actually play a pivotal role in quality of sleep. Thankfully, wicking sleepwear has recently become available to women to support their quest for a restful sleep. Put simply, wicking sleepwear is an innovative form of ladies sleepwear designed to draw moisture away the body.
It is particularly popular with pregnant women and those on the receiving end of hot flushes related to menopause or women who tend to battle night sweats in general. Wicking sleepwear will reduce the discomfort felt from increased body temperatures whilst sleeping, and assist in improved sleep quality.
There is an increasingly growing demand for this type of sleepwear for women. The more popular sleepwear brands producing wicking sleepwear are finding their product is coveted for not only the extremely soft fabric, designed to make the wearer feel cool and comfortable – but for producing sleepwear products that are both feminine and functional.
So how wicking sleepwear for women work?
Dri-release® a popular form of wicking fabric is made from a patented yarn, with just a trace of natural fibers. The natural fibres absorb moisture pulling it off the skin and into the fabric. The synthetic fibres repel moisture, forcing it through the surface of the garment where it quickly evaporates as airflow moves across the fabric. So wicking fabric moves sweat and moisture from the skin, through the fabric and into the air much faster than 100% cotton fabrics. More notably, many wicking fabrics feel like just like cotton.
Wendy Eade, Founder of Eaden Sleepwear adds her own simple explanation "Cotton, the traditional fabric used for ladies sleepwear, is extremely absorbent, but it is this very absorbency that leaves the woman suffering from night sweats feeling cold and wet. Wicking sleepwear combines various fibres, blended together in such a way, it simply transports the moisture through the fabric and away from the body leaving the wearer feeling cool and dry".
