The recent ALFA convention in Orlando was excellent and its trade show offered many interesting products.The Comphy Company was particularly interesting. They were promoting the value of a good night sleep with pillow cases as giveaways.
Daniellle Paskewitz, the account executive for for the company explained the value of sheets in creating a sleep friendly environment and offering residents quality linens.
I certainly had not focused on this but considering how many of us suffer from a lack of sleep, investing in quality linen can't hurt.
In promoting a senior community, no one focuses on the quality of the linens but this is certainly an interesting idea to consider.
Hotels value their guests' sleep and creating a sleep friendly environment is critical. My research on the internet offered recommendations on thread count--and brands now offer even thread counts up to 1,000. The higher the count ...the softer the sheet but 200+ should be fine. Egyptian cotton is very luxurious.
Sheets provide a night jacket which is a good analogy. So when tackling spring cleaning this year, it may be a perfect time to treat yourself to some new sheets.
Sweet dreams to you.
Janis,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more. The Comphy Co. offers a remarkable Micro Fiber linen that has been changing the way people sleep for years now. I think that for seniors any added comfort they can receive as they move out of the homes they are used to is so important.We are determined to revolutionize this industry by saving companies money and most importantly improving the sleep of all seniors!
