4 Reasons to Carry Your Bedding Set During Vacations

When planning a vacation, packing your bedding set (travel pillow, pillowcase, and fitted sheet) might seem like an unusual idea. However, many people are now following this trend as it offers several benefits when traveling. Keep in mind that during the summer, some viruses tend to spread faster due to high temperatures. At the same time, during this season there is more tourism and crowded environments, which may increase exposure to infectious diseases. So, to remain on the safe side, here are five reasons you should bring your own bedding set on your vacation trip.

1. Better cleanliness control

One of the primary concerns about staying in hotels is the cleanliness of the bed linens and pillows. Hotels or other accommodations might not always clean the bedding between guests, meaning you could be sleeping on unwashed sheets and pillows. In the case that they are clean, they might be filled with dust as perhaps they have been previously washed and stored. Therefore, bringing your bedding set ensures that you are sleeping on clean and safe materials.

If you are traveling with babies, bringing your own bedding set that includes a waterproof fitted sheet, can help you avoid extra fees for replacing hotel bedding due to spills or potty accidents. The POLARIS waterproof and cooling fitted sheet or the NATURZINC waterproof fitted sheet for kids are both great options thanks to its antibacterial properties and polyurethane membrane that prevents liquids from seeping through.

2. Prevent allergies and skin irritations

If you have sensitive skin or allergies, traveling can expose you to a variety of allergens and irritants, which can be problematic. By bringing your sheets and NATURZINC waterproof and natural pillowcases, you can minimize this risk. Carrying the bed pillows can be quite unmanageable, therefore using the NATURZINC pillowcase offers a convenient alternative. This pillowcase provides a protective barrier against dust mites and other allergens, ensuring a clean and comfortable sleep environment.

Remember that in contrast to being at home, when traveling you have no idea which types of bedding and laundry detergents are being used. For example, hotels might use man-made synthetic fibers such as microfibre and polyester as they are cheaper. However, these materials tend to cause more skin irritation and aggravate skin conditions due to their chemical processes. Moreover, bed bug infestations, while rare, can occur, making the thought of sleeping on unfamiliar bedding even more unsettling.

3. Enjoy comfort against high temperatures

Traveling in the summer usually means going to the beach or tropical destinations where the temperatures can be quite high. Hotel rooms can be difficult to keep at a comfortable temperature, especially in hot climates. Therefore, bringing your bedding can significantly enhance your comfort. Specialized bedding, such as the POLARIS waterproof and cooling fitted sheet, can improve your sleeping experience. This sheet is designed to be cool, breathable, and quick-drying, making it perfect for travelers dealing with high temperatures, night sweats, or hot flashes.

The cooling effect of the POLARIS sheet reduces the user’s skin temperature by around 1°C, providing a noticeable improvement in comfort during those hot summer nights. After a day of sun exposure, your skin might feel overheated, and the cooling effect of the sheet can help soothe and relax you, ensuring a more restful and pleasant sleep. This way, you wake up refreshed and ready to keep enjoying your vacation, no matter how warm the climate is.

4. Comfort and hygiene during journeys

Bringing a travel pillow for comfort and hygiene during airplane or train journeys is highly advisable. Much research has proved that the pillows and blankets provided by airlines are often reused and may not always be clean. Given that airline staff have limited time to clean the plane between flights (they usually only get 10 minutes!), it’s best to avoid the uncertainty by carrying your own.

The Memory Foam Pillow TRAVELLER is an excellent option for this purpose. This 40×23 cm pillow comes with a waterproof pillowcase and a travel pouch, making it easy to store and carry. It offers permanent antibacterial activity without harmful substances, excellent dermatological tolerance, and a reduction of unpleasant odors. The pillow also provides a protective barrier against dust mites and fungi, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. This pillow will ensure you have a clean, comfortable, and neck-pain-free travel experience.

Packing a bedding set is of course a personal preference, however many travelers are following this trend as it offers several benefits. Some people are simply more comfortable sleeping on their own bed sheets and pillows, while others prefer doing this merely out of cleanliness and hygiene purposes.
