Your Bedroom Detox

Eight hours of skin contact every night. The sheet, the towel, the pillow you don't think about. The bedroom is the highest-leverage exposure window in any home. Change three things and you change a third of your day.

The worst offenders in this room.

01
Polyester or microfiber sheets
Eight hours per night of skin contact with synthetic fiber, and the sheets shed microfibers into bed dust that you breathe.
02
Synthetic pillows (polyester fill)
Face-down contact most of the night. The fill breaks down faster than the case, and most people never replace either.
03
Microfiber bath rugs and bedside rugs
The rug you step on with bare feet every morning is, in most homes, polyester. Shedding under the foot every step.
04
'Wrinkle-free' / 'no-iron' sheets
Typically chemical-treated cotton-poly blends. The wrinkle-free finish is the issue. The chemistry on the fiber is what it leaves on the skin.
05
Polyester comforter, duvet, blanket
Synthetic insulation sheds in the wash and from regular use. The blanket on top of the sheets is often the worst offender, and the most overlooked.

What to use instead.

Six products. Two sheet options (cotton vs. linen), the towel, the pillow most people forget, and the bath mat. Cover the bed and the floor around it.
