Tired travellers are being told copper-infused pillows may be the solution to a good night’s sleep on their summer trips.
Experts from Winstons Beds are sharing insights on how the new must-try beauty trend could help holidaymakers get a restful sleep when away from home.
Copper-infused pillow slips have copper oxide particles embedded within fabrics like nylon or polyester, and have been said to have properties to boost sleep habits and overall wellbeing.
Being in a different time zone can disturb usual sleep patterns and brains can also be more alert in new environments, meaning many travellers struggle to get a good sleep when abroad.
Sleeping on a plane is also a struggle for many, as temperature control and getting comfortable can be difficult.
Boasting benefits for skin, circulation, temperature control and general comfort, copper-infused pillows could be the solution for travellers who struggle to find comfort on their trips.
A spokesman for Winstons Beds said: “A good night’s sleep is essential when travelling, either on long plane journeys or when you reach your destination. There is nothing worse than getting to your holiday destination and feeling groggy, tired and restless.
“Many people struggle to sleep in hotels, so feeling refreshed and ready for the day when travelling is difficult for them. This is where using a copper-infused pillow could make a difference.
“Copper-infused pillows could help travellers get a better night sleep, control their temperature when sleeping on a plane or in hot climates and have antibacterial properties.”
Here are some the potential benefits of travelling with a copper-infused pillow, according to Winstonsbeds.com:
- Antibacterial
Copper fabrics have been used by medical experts to protect against bacteria, with studies showing copper to be a killer of harmful pathogens on contact.
- Temperature control
Copper-infused pillows have cooling properties which may help people who run warm to get an uninterrupted night’s sleep. They could also work particularly well for anyone who struggles with heat when abroad or those travelling to particularly hot countries this summer.
- Improved circulation
Copper can improve blood circulation and reduce discomfort, which can reduce pain and stiffness. Poor circulation can cause discomfort and make it hard to get a good night’s rest, so copper could be the solution to waking up feeling refreshed.
- Reduced inflammation
Copper-infused pillows can help provide relief from joint pain, which can make it hard to get a good night’s sleep. The natural anti-inflammatory properties in copper help reduce swelling and pain.
