Home and contract textiles in Trevira Bioactive

Bedding is one of only a few textiles where the body is so very conscious of the feel of the material. The quality of pillows and duvets is a decisive factor in determining the sleep climate, and therefore our sense of well-being daily. The materials are in direct contact with the skin - making what they have inside them a matter of some importance. Fill materials in Trevira are dedicated 100% to ensuring healthy and comfortable sleep. They are breathable, their bulk creates volume and the air protects against the cold while retaining the warmth.

This makes it light - 10, 000 meters of Trevira Fill weigh only 6 grams - at the same time enabling it to achieve 15 % higher bulk volume than normal fill fibers. This results in ideal moisture conductance and very good air circulation. Easy care The very good wash behavior of

Trevira Fill assists the healthy cleanliness. The fibers meet the highest demands in terms of hygiene. They are totally washable and to some extent can be boiled as well, and they can also go in the spin and tumbler dryer.
