The cooling Pillow in 100% Mulberry Silk
Especially during the warmer seasons, the cooling pillow for sleeping is the best choice to enjoy unique sensations of freshness and well-being even with high external temperatures, taking advantage of the excellence of our silk and its healing proteins for the skin and hair.
Why do we sweat at night?
Our body, regardless of the season in which it finds itself, implements processes of nocturnal thermal self-regulation in order to maintain its internal temperature constant, in a range that goes from 36.5 to 37 degrees.
Sweating is a tool that our metabolism uses to decrease temperature, releasing heat to the outside in the form of water vapour and sweat. During the night in normal conditions our body, even while resting, expels a quantity equal to 0.5 / 0.7 liters in the form of water vapor. This level is influenced by a series of variables and factors:
- Gender and age
- Individual Metabolism
- Outside temperature
- Type of mattress, pillow and bedding
- Subjective elements such as stress, pathologies, hormonal levels, type of diet
Why is the face so sensitive to heat?
Our face has numerous specific receptors for detecting temperature, and in particular those of the heat modality.
There are specific receptors for heat and cold. Those for heat are usually located in the innermost part of the epidermis. The thermoTRP receptors (Transient Receptor Potential) are divided in different ranges of perceived temperature:
- TRPV1 painful heat
- TRPV2 23-38°C / 73-100°F
- TRPV3 3 3-40°C / 91-1004°F
- TRPV4 >40 ° C / >104 ° F
Once a significant change in temperature is perceived, the thermoreceptors send, via nerve fibres, heat information to the brain which reacts in different ways including, for the face, with a dilation of the numerous capillaries present, determining a reddish colour and an increase in sweating.
A cooling silk pillow helps limit these reactions.
The level of sweating, although a normal and healthy physiological action, is particularly annoying, especially in the warmer seasons, causing continuous awakenings during the night and making sleep a moment of lack of relaxation and health.
Breathable bed linen and fresh pillow
Especially during the warmer seasons, increases in external temperatures determine changes in sleeping habits and sleep conditions, creating annoying and repeated night-time awakenings that clash with the need for comfortable, deep and healthy rest.
In these situations, it is essential to use a breathable cooling pillow . Our body, if put in contact with a non-thermo-regulating mattress and bed linen, especially if with significant percentages of synthetic fibres, is unable to free itself from the excess heat produced by the body. In many cases it is the mattress or bed linen that is the cause of heat accumulation and sensations of excessive temperature, creating a vicious circle that is difficult to resolve.
The silk bed linen and the T.SILK COLLECTION cooling pillow are warm in winter and cool in summer. In the warmer seasons they allow you to create a comfortable, relaxing microclimate, adequate to your needs and suitable for a continuous and deep sleep.
Which is the coolest pillow?
The pillow, throughout the night, is in close contact with the face, neck, hair and the first part of the spine. If not properly constructed and created with thermoregulating fibers, it can become an element that creates conditions of heat accumulation, determines situations of sweating and stagnation of water vapor and humidity that are, in addition to not being suitable for a relaxed rest and without awakenings during the night, not very healthy.
The ideal cool pillow can:
- Compensate and balance variations in temperature, heat output and humidity
- Promote heat dispersion
- Avoid the formation of condensation and stagnant humidity
- Ensure continuous breathability
A cooling pillow made of natural silk is the best choice
The fresh pillow T.Silk COLLECTION
The T.SILK COLLECTION cooling pillow is the best cool pillow to use when outside temperatures are rising or very high.
The T.Silk COLLECTION fresh pillow is the best pillow that doesn't make you sweat as it represents the end point of a research that brings together a series of excellences and functional characteristics typical of the thermoregulating natural silk fibre that are difficult to achieve with other pillows.
Structure of the T.SILK COLECTION cooling pillow
The T.SILK COLLECTION cooling pillow is designed and created in every single aspect to be the best cooling pillow thanks to the excellence of 100% natural silk fibre :
- The external lining that contains the padding body is in an innovative 100% discontinuous fibre silk fabric.
- The internal padding is 100% T.Silk padding, the result of innovation and a patent by Cosetex
- The padding is formed by an overlapping of external layers in the form of a wadding, cohesive silk wadding. The different layers are overlapped with different densities depending on the different contact areas, maintaining equal homogeneity.
- The internal part of the body padding is made of free natural silk fibres which guarantee softness, ergonomic support and immediate volume recovery. It guarantees a high possibility of incorporating air.
The result is a cooling pillow that fully adapts to the morphology of the body and promotes comfort and air circulation.
The cooling silk pillow that doesn't make you sweat
The innovative structure of the T.Silk Collection cooling pillow combines the consistency of the silk padding with the characteristics of the silk fibre, enhancing its unique characteristics as a highly thermoregulating fibre.
Face, hair, neck and spine remain in contact all night and for a total time of about a third of our life, with a real completely natural thermo-physiological laboratory capable at any moment of regulating the temperature of the head-pillow microclimate, compensating for any imbalances resulting from sudden increases in temperature or humidity levels in the air.
The unique thermoregulating padding of the T.SILK COLLECTION cooling pillow
The figure shows how each single silk fibre that makes up the T.SILK COLLECTION cooling pillow is composed of a myriad of micro fibrils which behave as heat receptors and air and humidity compensation chambers.
- During particularly hot and humid nights, the head and neck complex responds to external stress by increasing sweating and the production of water vapor.
- Heat and humidity are conveyed from the external sheath of the silk fibre (Sericin) to the internal layers, which are mostly made up of Fibroin.
- Based on its molecular structure, Fibroin can capture and deposit very high levels of humidity (more than 30% of its weight)
- Based on its thermoregulating characteristics, excess quantities of heat and humidity are quickly expelled towards the outside by capillary action, maintaining only the quantities necessary to compensate for any temperature variations.
- The fabric and padding do not acquire intrinsic heat and do not develop heat, unlike synthetic fibres and padding, keeping the part of the body with which they come into contact fresh and refreshed.
The head-neck complex in contact with the cooling cushion is thus "freed" from sweat and excess heat created and remains in contact with a surface that creates a sensation of continuous freshness and prevents further heat and sweating phenomena.
The cooling pillow that cares for skin and hair
The silk cooling pillow does not limit itself to maintaining a constant temperature and giving a feeling of freshness and relaxation. It allows you to achieve a series of important additional results, related to well-being and health:
- Limits and treats inflammation in the cervical area
- It connects skin and hair with highly healing and compatible proteins, fibroin and sericin (anti-aging, balancing the level of hydration of the skin and hair, protective against UV rays, adjuvants to collagen production, highly nourishing for the hair)
- It envelops the skin in an embrace that does not create micro abrasions and lacerations
- Soft and fluffy
- natural, anti-mite, anti-bacterial, odorless as it prevents the proliferation of and is anti-mold, bacteria and fungi
- It does not release chemical substances or elements
- Protects the environment, reduces CO2 and does not create any pollution
