With COVID-19 wreaking havoc across the globes, everyone’s worried about being exposed to microbes and germs. Considering that we spend a good chunk of our day in bed, the bedding industry have been playing their part in keeping people safe is by introducing anti-bacterial sheets.
Anti-bacterial sheets usually contain one of three metals: copper, silver, or zinc. So, which one is better? When it comes to anti-bacterial sheets, they’re made in a few different ways. For instance, in some cases, like with silver threads, the antimicrobial fiber is spun into a yarn and then woven into a fabric.
Copper
Copper is well-known as an antibacterial agent that is harmless for humans but is highly effective against viruses, germs, microbes, and bacteria. Copper is so effective because it attracts bacteria on a molecular level, and once it makes contact, it ruptures the cell wall, completely destroying bacteria. The metal only takes a few minutes to completely eliminate millions of cells. And since copper-infused sheets eliminate odor-causing bacteria, ensure constant anti-microbial protection and protect you from infected bedsores, they promise a healthy and restful sleep cycle.
Silver
Silver is another great anti-microbial agent that promotes self-cleaning. It attracts the bacteria by breaking down the cell wall so that the organisms are unable to reproduce. Silver-infused bed sheets are very durable and don’t wear out even after many washes. They are also very eco-friendly, so you don’t need to wash these sheets very frequently, which helps save both energy and water.
Zinc
Many studies suggest that metal nanoparticles are great at eradicating a variety of pathogens.Of course, zinc-infused sheets don’t sound like something you’d like to snuggle with, but the metal boosts wound healing, the immune system, cell growth, and cell division. Plus, zinc can fight the accumulation of bacteria, which means it can keep your sheets fresh for a longer time.
