In times when one heat record after another gets broken, energy and cooling are ‘hotly’ debated topics. How can we stay cool, both literally and figuratively?
Global warming and energy crises severely limit our ability to develop along a sustainable path. One of the elements that puts a tremendous pressure on residential energy consumption is the use of air conditionings. These must ensure that the entire temperature in our bedrooms is regulated in order to guarantee an optimal sleep quality.
But what if we were to cool people instead of spaces? That question was asked by scientists focusing on the ‘personalised cooling’ of individuals or the so called ‘personal thermal control’.
Recently, this research has led to the development of a unique cooling yarn. ZEN is a polyethylene-based yarn that provides superior cooling thanks to modifications in the fiber’s molecular structure. These ensure better thermal conductivity so that excess body heat is dissipated faster.
That’s catching two birds with one stone: while ZEN ensures a better sleep quality, it also helps us to save on energy!
How it works
The high thermal conductivity and fiber texturization of our Zen fabric draws the heat away from your body resulting in an instant cooling effect that can be measured with a scientific Q-max value or by just placing your hand on our Zen fabric. The advanced cool-to-touch technology of our Zen fabric is also long lasting and wash durable because the effect is intrinsic to the composition of the yarn meaning it will always feel cooler than polyester or cotton regardless of the outside air temperature.MORE THAN JUST COOL
Benefits & Attributes
As a polyethylene based product, ZEN has many additional
advantages that make it perfectly suitable for use in mattress fabrics.
Lasting Performance
ZEN keeps its properties because they are inherent to the yarn's composition
Cool to the touch
Not only does it dissipate the heat faster, it also feels cooler when touched.
Durable
High durability thanks to its excellent strength to weight ratio and high abrasion resistance.
Washable
Retains its performance after multiple washings
ECO-friendly
Easy to recycle and energy-saving. It makes ZEN environmental-friendly.
