Why does sleeping on a Damask topper cause thermo imbalance?
Inner Spring mattresses are covered with damask covers, which are synthetic and polyester fibers. The damask cover deflects the heat and energy your body produces back up against it. It accounts for those times you wake up and with a pounding heart rate, feeling clammy and sweaty, or hot or cold. During the night, the body's metabolism keeps working. An average of one ounce of perspiration an hour is released, in the form of water vapor, which is trapped under the covers around the body and eventually absorbed by your mattress. Synthetic bedding traps and holds moisture, causing high humidity. The heart rate increases, by as much as ten more beats per minute. Because synthetics take a long time to dry out, they also provide the perfect climate for mold and dust mites to thrive. |
