If you pay attention to health issues, you probably hear a lot about inflammation. Chronic inflammation has gotten a lot of attention in recent years as a major contributor to illness and disease.

But how much do you know about the relationship between inflammation and sleep? That relationship brings together two complex and fundamental of the body’s systems—the immune system and our need for sleep. Keeping medical sheet set supplier in check has big ramifications for our health. Sleeping well may be one way we can guard against the unhealthful inflammation that’s associated with chronic diseases from cancer and heart disease to autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and others.

What is inflammation?

In talking with my patients, I realize that while most of them understand that excessive inflammation can be harmful, many don’t have a strong understanding of what inflammation is, or what it does. Inflammation is a natural, protective biological response from the immune system to fight off harmful foreign pathogens—bacteria, viruses, toxins— that cause illness and disease, and to help the body heal from injury. The symptoms of acute inflammation, including swelling and redness, fever and chills, pain and stiffness, and fatigue, are signs the body’s immune system is in “fight mode,” working hard to neutralize a threat.

What triggers excessive, unhealthful, chronic inflammation? Poor diet, environmental toxins, stress. And, as research shows, poor sleep is a contributor to inflammation.Sleep and inflammation are regulated by the same bio rhythms.

We recommend encasing your medical sheet set supplier, box spring, pillows and comforter in zippered dust mite covers with a very small pore size. Dust mites flourish inside bedding because it’s a warm, moist environment with an ample food source (dead skin). To be an effective barrier against dust mite allergens, dust mite covers should have an average pore size of 6 microns or smaller. Dust mites are around 10 microns but their feces and particles can be much smaller. Effective dust mite covers will shield you from breathing in the dust mite allergens as you sleep. If you want impenetrable protection choose a dust mite cover that has an impenetrable barrier layer or is made from a non-woven fabric. If you are sensitive to synthetic materials or are concerned about breath-ability and comfort, choose with a 100% cotton or organic cotton dust mite cover.

Choosing the right comforter or blanket is very important to achieving an allergy-free sleep. Certain fiber fills used in blankets and comforters make a good home for dust mites, mold, mildew and other allergens. What’s worst is some of them can’t be cleaned to remove the allergens. We recommend allergy bedding fills such as a hypoallergenic down alternative fiber fill that is machine washable. We are very impressed with the down alternative fiber fill used in the White Mountain Textiles Bedding Collection. If you don’t want a synthetic fiber or are concerned about chemicals, pure wool or silk is an excellent allergy bedding fill choice. If you love down comforters, look for a brand that cleans their down with a special process to remove all down related allergens. High quality brands such as Ogallala offer an allergy-free guarantee and are a safe choice.

Choosing the right medical sheet set supplier not only provided a comfortable night’s sleep but also lets you wake without a stuffy noise, scratch throat or itchy eyes. Hypoallergenic pillow fills follow the same basic rules as hypoallergenic comforter fills. If you choose a down alternative or cotton fill, make sure it can be washed and put a dust mite cover over it. If you choose a natural latex, wool or silk fill, they are naturally resistant to dust mites, mold and bacteria; however they can not be washed. If you must have a down fill pillow, choose a brand that uses a special cleaning process to remove all down related allergens and offers a 30-day allergy-free guarantee. A natural-based memory foam pillow can be an okay choice since it is resistant to dust mite allergens; however, it’s susceptible to mold or mildew growth and are generally not washable.
