ALLERGIES/ASTHMA/SKIN DISORDERS

5-7% of Australians have some skin disorder or condition in the forms of eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.

As sleep is the time for the body to repair from illness and wounds – it is important to create the healthiest sleep environment possible.

DERMATITIS, ECZEMA, PSORIASIS

Sleep disturbance is one of the most reported problems for people with skin disorders. Sufferers often have dry, irritable skin that is inflamed and very itchy.

It is important to avoid anything that tends to aggravate the skin. Common environmental irritants include soaps on skin, clothing and bedding. Wool and nylon fabric can cause overheating and some cotton fabrics can also be too coarse for irritated skin. Pollen, house dust mites, and animal dander can aggravate skin disorders.

Choosing clothing and bedding such as Elite® and CumfySafe® sheets and pillowcases that are made from natural eucalyptus Tencel®, can help control body temperature and improve sleep quality.


Dust mites can be controlled by these products also or by using protective bedding such as AllerZip®.
