Nano Bed Sheets

Posted on August 29, 2006 by Lynn Charles Rathbun

At your local JC Penny store, you can now purchase wrinkle-free 100% cotton performance sheets that make use of nanotechnology to engineer materials to perform special functions. Traditional coatings on bed sheets make them feel stuff and clog the weave of the fabric, making it harder for the skin to breath at night. Nano-Tex’s Coolest Comfort fabric uses nano-sized treatments that are small enough to attach to the fabric fibers without clogging the weave. As a result, the fabric is able to draw moisture away from the skin and help balance body temperature so that you can snuggle up and get a good night’s sleep!
