Özet

Sleep quality is affected by mattress components, mainly thermal comfort management ability of the microclimate border layers. Knitted quilted mattress ticking fabrics made of polyester, polypropylene, viscose, lyocell, wool and their blends combined with polyester mid-layer were investigated for their effects on thermal comfort of the bed microclimate. For this aim water vapor, liquid absorption and transfer tests and microclimate measurements on the simulated bed microclimate were carried out. Results showed that lyocell viscose and its blend with linen have better breathability, liquid absorption and transfer characteristics and can be suggested for better sweat management within the bed microclimate system.
