Technologically Modern and Eco-Friendly Sleep Products, by AKEMI Sleepedia Series

by Fred Victor

Eco-friendly sleep products may be expensive, but increasing consumer demand for the environmentally-correct has inspired AKEMI (one of the Southeast Asia’s best-selling bedding brands) to go extra mile to produce truly clean, with German hi-tech sleep products at affordable prices.

The Southeast Asian markets have a generally high awareness and appreciation of European technology and quality in bedding products. Therefore, AKEMI responds with its latest German microfibre technology to the expanding demand for innovative new ranges of its branded high-tech and ecological filling fibres and fabrics.

The task of finding a truly technologically modern and eco-friendly sleep product nowadays is not easy. Let’s explore how AKEMI Sleepedia explains: “Sleep Healthier, Live Healthier” with its phenomenal Sleepedia Suprelle™ series, including the incredibly high performing Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra, Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro and Sleepedia Suprelle™ Eco Fresh TENCEL®.

In brief, AKEMI Sleepedia is a new German technically advanced fibre which feels even more like a natural fibre.

Allergies such as allergic rhinitis and asthma are on the rise, probably the most common complaints in the Asian countries affecting up to 40% of the population (varies by age group and country). Therefore, a cleaner, healthier sleep comfort is essential.

AKEMI is responding to this, and presents the Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra to you and your loved ones.

Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra contains extremely fine, anti-dust mite and anti-microbial four-hole fibre technology that is selected for the filling of this product, resulting in an unmatched softness and excellent durability for a maximum comfort while maintaining the shape and firmness.

The natural beauty of Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra is that it stops the development of fungi necessary to the dust mites’ life cycle. It’s anti-dust mite, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal – helping to ensure a healthier sleep environment! Click here to view Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra products.

A revolutionary fibre which has been patented by ADVANSA R&D laboratories, this is Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro – adds never before seen- or felt- softness to pillows, bolsters and quilts. The uniqueness of Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro is its ability to gradually return to its original shape … every morning, due to its incredible slow release effect. Simply, such revolutionary microfibre technology has been designed to match the characteristics of real down.

In responding to the perfect balance between comfort and technical performance, AKEMI presents to you the Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro.

SLEEPEDIA Suprelle™ Micro’s outstanding micro fibre technology has been designed to match the unique characteristics of real down. It offers an excellent thermal insulation in duvets and soft, supportive comfort in pillows, with its ability to return to its original shape. The unique softness of Suprelle™ Micro comes from its ultra-fine and short fibres and allows a perfect balance between comfort and technical performance.

The uniqueness of Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro is exceptional, thanks to the two unique properties: its 6 times finer fibre and 8 times shorter than current fibres – giving an unparalleled elasticity and density due to high volume of fibres. Which means that, pillows or bolsters made of Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro fibre is comfier, bouncier and fluffier than any fibres.

The balanced microclimate is essential for a good night’s sleep. Problems like night sweats could cause sleep discomfort. As a rule of thumb, night sweats are often associated (1) an over-heated bedroom, (2) illness such as colds or flu, and (3) bedding products made with non-optimal feeling insulation.

Let’s imagine … when two environmentally-friendly and eco-label fibres meet together. It’s Sleepedia Suprelle™ Eco Fresh TENCEL®, the awarded European Union Eco-Label.

 

In a global partnership with ADVANSA, the AKEMI R&D team has discovered a new comfort solution – an innovative system to improve moisture management and air circulation in pillows, bolsters and quilts.

Sleepedia Suprelle™ Eco Fresh with TENCEL® is the eco-friendly innovation in bedding concept specially designed to improve moisture management and air circulation in mattress ticking for a balanced micro-climate which is essential for a healthier night’s sleep. The combination of two complementary fibres – TENCEL® and Suprelle™ Eco Fresh – offers an effective solution to problems of night-sweats. Mattress ticking made of Suprelle™ Eco Fresh with TENCEL® allow permanent moisture wicking and excellent air circulation thereby providing a superior breathability and quick drying. The natural and soft touch of the fabric gives the consumers an additional optimal feeling and comfort and contributes to a significantly relaxing and restful sleep.

AKEMI Tencel® Fabric on Your Skin

by Fred Victor

Well, there are undoubtedly many treats in stores with an ever-changing range of fabrics coupled with great bargains. Nevertheless, it’s still important for choosing a really good fabric especially when it comes to SLEEP … undeniable perhaps.

Here, AKEMI Tencel® introduces “the botanical way of life” – a new age in fiber technology. 

What is AKEMI Tencel®?

AKEMI Tencel® is an amazing eco-friendly fabric, and it’s completely natural. Made with wood pulp cellulose from sustainable tree, AKEMI Tencel® fabrics are created through the use of nanotechnology (the first cellulose to use nanotechnology)

The AKEMI Tencel® fabrics are as soft as silk, strong as polyester, cool as linen, warm as wool and more absorbent than cotton.

It’s a 100% biodegradable fabric which certified by the International Forest Stewardship Council.

Besides, AKEMI Tencel® fabrics carry the Oeko Tex 100 certification, an international standard developed in 1992 so as to certify that it contains no harmful substances. Further, it also has been awarded the European Community Eco-label flower for products and services with reduced environmental impacts.

In brief, Tencel® is a registered brand name for a fibre call lyocell, manufactured by the Lenzing AG Company.

In short, AKEMI Tencel® fabric is amazingly comfortable!

Why AKEMI Tencel®?

AKEMI Tencel® Looks Brilliant

AKEMI Tencel® sheets have a beautiful flowing drape, and the brilliant luster of silk which boast easy-care properties to beat cotton. The sheet is just simple to launder, and ironing is much easier than those conventional sheets. AKEMI Tencel® will keep its colour and exceptional appearance even after numerous washes. Take a look, seeing is believing!!

AKEMI Tencel® Feels Comfortable Though It’s Warm under Bed Sheet

AKEMI Tencel® has a cool and sensual touch for that extra special comfort. The incredible smoothness and in-built moisture control capabilities of AKEMI Tencel® help you to keep cool when other fabrics are not able to.

Let’s look at the figure below, AKEMI Tencel® (left) is not just “feel good”, it is also especially kind and gentle to the skin. In contrast, the surface of cotton fiber (right) is typically much rougher, irregular and more irritating to sensitive skin types.

AKEMI Tencel® Has Unique Moisture Performance

AKEMI Tencel® has a unique moisture control capability that comes from its internal structure of very fine Nanofibrils inside the fiber. Nanofibrils are tiny components (little "hairs") which make up the fiber. The unique structure of the fibrils allows the production of textiles which, until now, could only be dreamed of. This is the first cellulose fiber whose functionality is based on this innovative structure. These Nanofibrils work together like a network of tiny canals that able to conjure away moisture, they are hydrophilic, and able to optimize the absorption of moisture with excellent cooling properties, thus enhancing your sleeping comfort.

Tests show that AKEMI Tencel® demonstrates its excellence in moisture absorption capability, that it absorbs 50% more than the conventional cotton. It’s just incredible!

AKEMI Tencel® Inhibits Bacteria Growth

Due to the excellent control of moisture, AKEMI Tencel® Nanofibrils generate an excellent comfort zone next to the skin. Also, with lesser moisture, the growth of bacteria on fibers is inhibited.

Without bacteria, mold and mites similarly find life more difficult. All this is achieved without the use of added chemicals that otherwise might be harmful to sensitive skin.

In other words, AKEMI Tencel® is ideal for sensitive skin!!

AKEMI Tencel® Feels Like a Second Skin

AKEMI Tencel® is produced from wood pulp by means of a process that respects the environment and uses no pesticides and/or other potentially harmful chemicals.

This means TENCEL® is pure and soothing next to the skin. Independent studies have shown that these characteristics work together with the natural moisture control of AKEMI Tencel® produce a significant improvement in the well-being of people especially those with very sensitive skins.

This combination of properties and the ecological nature of the fiber itself make AKEMI Tencel® bed sheets a “must-have” and a dream come true for everyone.

AKEMI Tencel® is 100% Organic

As mentioned earlier, AKEMI Tencel® is extracted from wood pulp, thus it is 100% bio-degradable. The wood used is taken from tree farms which practice sustainability and is guaranteed by the PEFC quality seal and the international FSC label.

It is a good feeling to go to bed with AKEMI Tencel®!

Award Winning

In summary, every night is a special night with AKEMI Tencel® bed sheet.

AKEMI Tencel® excites the senses in a way that no other fiber can, giving you the most satisfying sleep ever. Its cool, sensual touch, in-built freshness and lustrous good looks combine together in the purest of Nanofibers. Anyone who has ever experienced AKEMI Tencel® bed sheets or pillows will never again wish to sleep on anything else! It’s simply incredible!!

Have a good night's sleep ;-)
