RAISE AWARENESS, RELIEVE THE BURDEN!
Very few people are aware of the dust mites allergens found in most mattresses. Sensitivity to these allergens has a negative impact on your sleeping comfort and quality of sleep.
With Purotex® you will avoid contact with these allergens that trigger allergic reactions.
WHAT IS PUROTEX®?
Purotex® is a textile treatment that helps to fight against allergens. It is designed to stop dust mites in their tracks, as well as prevent other harmful bacteria from multiplying. These allergens are then unable to cause damage to the sufferer, potentially reducing the symptoms of allergic reactions.
Dust mites thrive in bedrooms and particularly on beds. With both moisture and heat radiating from the body when we are asleep, dust mites have the perfect envrionment to come out and play. Having an anti-allergy treatment like Purotex® can keep the little blighters at bay and leave you having a peaceful night’s sleep.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fabrics treated with Purotex® use microcapsules that contain natural probiotics. Probiotics are a 100% natural remedy against allergenic sleep disrupters. Purotex® combines five completely natural bacterias that have been chosen for of their ability to keep house dust mite allergens at bay, along with various other types of allergen. The Purotex® is then put into tiny capsules that are inserted into the fabric.
Thanks to friction between your body and the mattress or between your head and the pillow, the microcapsules burst open and start multiplying. The movement of your body on the fabric causes the capsules to be disturbed and the Purotex® treatment can then get to work. The bacteria within the treatment soak up any moisture and actively prevent allergens in their tracks. Bad bacteria and mould struggle to grow without warm, damp conditions – Purotex® helps prevention by removing the dampness.
It is important to keep guard baby safety, baby cot/baby cot mattress must meet rigorous safety standards. Comfy BabyTM proudly keeps the highest standard of Safety & Quality testing.
Certipur® is a voluntary standard to advance the safety, health and environmental (SHE) performance of flexible polyurethane foams used in bedding and upholstered furniture. The scheme takes into account existing standards and scientific studies related to emanations from foams, product criteria and risk assessments.
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and high product safety. It ensures that every component of this article, i.e. every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless in human ecological terms.
Criteria
Since its introduction in 1992, the central focus of the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® has been the development of test criteria, limit values and test methods on a scientific basis. On the basis of its comprehensive and strict catalogue of measures, with several hundred regulated individual substances, the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® takes account of:
- Important legal regulations, such as banned Azo colourants, formaldehyde, pentachlorophenol, cadmium, nickel, etc.
- Numerous harmful chemicals, even if they are not yet legally regulated.
With its decades of experience, the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 therefore contributes to high and effective product safety from a consumer’s point of view. Test criteria and limit values in many cases go far beyond applicable national and international standards. Extensive product checks and regular company audits also ensure that the industry has a globally sustainable awareness of the responsible use of chemicals. With this concept, the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 has taken on a pioneering role for many years.
Laboratory tests and product classes
The OEKO-TEX® tests for harmful substances are fundamentally based on the respective purpose of the textiles and materials. The more intensive the skin contact of a product and the more sensitive the skin, the stricter the human ecological requirements that need to be complied with.
Accordingly, a distinction is made between four product classes:
- Product class I: Articles for babies and toddlers up to 3 years of age (underwear, rompers, clothing, bed linen, terry products etc.)
- Product class II: Articles that are worn close to the skin (underwear, bed linen, t-shirts, socks etc.)
- Product class III: Articles used away from the skin (jackets, coats etc.)
- Product class IV: Decoration/Furnishing materials (curtains, tablecloths, upholstery covers etc.)
Certification
The precondition for the certification of products in accordance with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is that all parts of an article meet the required criteria – in addition to the outer fabric, for example, also the sewing threads, inserts, prints.
