What is cashmere and why is it used in mattresses?

Cashmere is a luxury fabric derived from the undercoat of Kashmiri goats, which live in the harsh climates of Mongolia, China and India. Due to the specific conditions in which these goats live, their fur has adapted to extreme temperature fluctuations. In winter, it provides them with protection from the cold, while in summer it is sufficiently breathable. It is these properties that make cashmere the ideal material for luxury mattresses, as it combines the ability to regulate temperature and offers an exceptional feeling of comfort and softness.

Features of cashmere mattresses

Cashmere mattresses are unique due to the specific properties of the material from which they are made. Let’s take a look at some of the main characteristics that make these mattresses so special.

Temperature regulation

Cashmere has an excellent ability to regulate temperature, which means that cashmere mattresses are able to adapt to your body temperature. This material will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This is an advantage over conventional mattresses, which are often too hot or too cold.

Softness and comfort

Cashmere is known for its softness and smoothness to the touch. When lying on a cashmere mattress, it is noticeable that the material gently envelops the body, which contributes to better weight distribution and thus reduces the pressure on individual points of the body.

Hypoallergenic properties

Cashmere mattresses are also popular among people with allergies, as cashmere has natural hypoallergenic properties. This means that it is less prone to the buildup of dust mites and other allergens, providing a cleaner and healthier sleeping environment.

Durability and longevity

Although cashmere feels fragile and soft, it is a very durable material. Quality cashmere mattresses are designed to last for years and maintain their shape and quality. This minimises the need for frequent mattress replacement.

Making cashmere mattresses: process and technology

Manufacturing cashmere mattresses is not simple and requires careful workmanship. First, the cashmere is hand-combed from the undercoat of the cashmere goats. This process is lengthy because the cashmere hair has to be sorted to separate the fine cashmere from the coarser fibres. Once the cashmere is ready, it is combined with other materials to contribute to the overall structure and functionality of the mattress. Cashmere is often combined with natural materials such as latex or wool to achieve optimal resilience and support.

How to choose a cashmere mattress: key factors to consider

When choosing a cashmere mattress, it’s important to consider several factors to ensure maximum comfort and satisfaction with your purchase.

Mattress thickness and firmness

Cashmere mattresses are available in a variety of thicknesses and firmnesses to suit different preferences and needs. For example, those who prefer a softer surface may opt for softer options, while those with a heavier weight or those who need more support may choose a firmer mattress.

Cashmere type

There are different qualities of cashmere on the market, with the best quality being the so-called fine cashmere, which is extremely soft and highly durable. When choosing a mattress, it is a good idea to look for information about the origin and quality of the cashmere to avoid inferior products.

Mattress support layers and structure

Cashmere is often combined with other materials such as memory foam, latex or springs to increase the overall support and durability of the mattress. It is therefore advisable to check what other layers the mattress contains and whether they are compatible with your preferences.

Caring for a cashmere mattress

An investment in a cashmere mattress deserves care that will extend its life and ensure it continues to look and perform like new. Here are some tips on how to properly care for a cashmere mattress.

Regular turning and airing

It is recommended to rotate and ventilate the mattress regularly to prevent uneven wear and odor.

Cleaning and stain removal

Cashmere is a sensitive material, so special products designed for delicate fabrics should be used when cleaning stains. If the mattress is spilt, it is important to dry it immediately to avoid permanent damage to the material.

Using a mattress protector

It is recommended to use a good quality mattress protector to protect the surface from dirt, stains and mechanical damage.

Who is a cashmere mattress suitable for?

Cashmere mattress is the ideal choice for those looking for a luxurious and highly comfortable solution for their sleep. It is suitable for people who suffer from allergies, for those with sensitive skin, and for those who need a mattress with good thermoregulatory properties. Such a mattress is especially worthwhile for those who want to invest in a good quality sleep and are not afraid to pay a higher amount for it.

Price and availability of cashmere mattresses

The price of cashmere mattresses is in the higher price categories, which corresponds to the quality and features offered by this type of mattress. Cashmere mattresses are generally available in specialty luxury mattress stores or by order. Due to the specific manufacturing process and limited availability of cashmere, longer delivery times must be expected.

Cleaning and regular disinfection of mattresses

The mattress is one of the most important elements of our home, having a major impact on our health, well-being and quality of sleep. When choosing a mattress, we pay close attention to its material, hardness and ability to adapt to the shape of the body. Unfortunately, we often forget that we also need to care for and clean the mattress regularly. Although many people don’t realise it, a mattress can become an ideal environment for dust mites, bacteria, mould and other dirt. In this text, we’ll explain why regular mattress cleaning is important, what your options are, and how to choose the best mattress cleaner.

Mattress Vacuuming & Knocking: Professional vacuums with a HEPA filter and HEPA bag must have an electric vibrating knocking head. This technology of KIRBY® / HYLA® vacuum cleaners makes it possible to remove surface mold spores, dust mites by dry method from the mattress surface.

Cleaning with special chemical cleaners.

UV-C Lamp: We recommend entrusting your mattress to industry professionals who have a UV-C germicidal mattress lamp. UV lamps that produce UVC radiation are designed to be safely used on mattress surfaces and other household items. The radiant energy of the UVC radiation acts directly on microorganisms that reside on the surface and top layer of the mattress. The disinfection process usually takes several minutes, during which time the lamp kills up to 99.9% of the bacteria and other harmful organisms present.

OZON: we recommend entrusting your mattress to industry professionals who have the BIO-OZON® vacuum cleaning system. The disinfecting properties of ozone result from its ability to oxidize molecules in the cells of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. When ozone comes into contact with these pathogens, it disrupts the cell membrane or wall of the microorganism, leading to its decomposition and subsequent death. This process works similarly to the action of conventional disinfectants, but without the use of chemicals, which is beneficial for people who prefer natural and eco-friendly solutions.

In indoor applications such as mattress cleaning, ozone not only kills bacteria and viruses, but also mites, mold spores and other allergens. Its ability to destroy harmful microorganisms without toxic residues makes it ideal for the environment in which we sleep and rest.

Allergens, mould spores, bacteria, viruses and dust mites are not only a hygiene problem in mattresses, but also a health problem. But with proper prevention, maintenance and the right choice of mattress, the risks can be significantly reduced. Even the thickest sheets and blankets cannot protect us from micro-particles. Dust mites or moulds, which often number up to one million and produce allergy-causing faeces that settle in our mouths, noses, eyes, etc. every time we move. In addition to the allergy manifesting as itching, mucous membrane inflammation, bronchitis, asthma and shortness of breath can be added. This condition can be prevented by professional cleaning and deep dry disinfection thanks to UV-C radiation or vacuum ozonation of the mattress with thorough machine vacuuming and above all regular maintenance.
