Many residents of nursing homes and clients who receive homecare nursing lay and stay on cotton bed sheets. A material that is relatively stiff and rough, absorbs a lot of water, dries slowly and does not ventilate properly. Not the ideal contact surface for your skin. Friction, shear forces and (perspiration) moisture can reduce the condition of the skin or aggravate existing skin problems. If one suffers from skin disorders and itching, this is aggravated by the use of cotton bedding. Skincair and Sensair medical fitted bed sheets provide relief from various discomforts and skin conditions such as psoriasis, skin and perspiration problems having MS, Huntington and Parkinson’s Disease, skin itching and eczema.
The Skincair 3D – fitted bed sheet promotes sleeping comfort, is better able to regulate the microclimate, temperature and humidity of the skin, sticks less to the skin when you have applied a cream, can help relieve itching and is smoother, which enables the user to have more freedom of movement in bed and that dry skin parts do not catch and stick to the material. An additional advantage is that, due to the reduced skin irritation, you have to scratch yourself less often, so that you can enjoy a night’s sleep undisturbed for a longer time.
