Factors That Disrupt Comfortable Sleep
Bedding quality plays a major role in sleep comfort. However, conventional bedding can introduce problems that interfere with sleep, including overcooling from air conditioning, humidity buildup, drafts through gaps in the bedding, and friction against dry skin.
- Overcooling from air conditioning and humidity buildup
- Disrupted sleep from cold drafts entering through gaps in bedding
- Increased friction from bedding against dry skin
Gokutoroket improves sleep quality.
Superior Moisture Regulation
The superior moisture regulation of Gokutoroket quickly controls moisture levels within the bedding. A layer of air shields the body from the cold air of the air conditioner while allowing excess heat to escape, delivering a sleep experience similar to natural temperature regulation.
Close Fit That Minimizes Gaps
Excellent drape allows the fabric to conform closely to the body, minimizing gaps when turning during sleep. This close fit eliminates overcooling and helps maintain deep, uninterrupted sleep through the night.
Minimal Friction Against the Skin
Gokutoroket uses TENCEL™ (lyocell), a material smoother than silk. The surface structure of this fabric minimizes friction against the skin and reduces irritation caused by dryness, providing comfort for sensitive skin and for those mindful of skincare.
What is TENCEL™?
TENCEL™ (lyocell), the primary material used in Gokutoroket, is a naturally derived fiber produced through an environmentally friendly manufacturing process.
Made from wood pulp sourced from eucalyptus and other trees, this fiber creates soft, flowing fabric for a silky smooth feel.
Gokutoroket uses TENCEL fabric that is softer than gauze with 100% TENCEL filling. The comforting softness has earned high praise from users, with many saying that after one night with Gokutoroket, returning to ordinary bedding becomes impossible.
TENCEL fibers also naturally inhibit bacterial growth without the use of chemical treatments.
Noteworthy Features of TENCEL™
Exceptional Moisture Regulation
TENCEL fibers disperse moisture evenly within the fiber structure. In addition to absorbing more than 50% more moisture than cotton, the unique fibril structure also helps regulate moisture.
Natural Antibacterial Properties
Strong moisture regulation reduces the damp conditions that bacteria require to grow, and in turn helps prevent odor. Gokutoroket is also machine washable, allowing bedding to remain clean and fresh over time.
Reduced Static Electricity
Normal bedding is home to static electricity.
TENCEL fibers contain approximately 13% moisture, which allows accumulated static electricity to dissipate naturally and reduces discomfort caused by static buildup.
Environmentally Friendly Materials
TENCEL™ is a 100% naturally derived regenerated fiber made primarily from eucalyptus grown in responsibly managed forests. TENCEL™ is safe for human use and highly biodegradable, allowing the material to ultimately return to the natural environment.
