Knitted sheets: a real breakthrough in comfort and durability.
When it comes to comfort, knitted bedsheets
are superior in every way to conventional woven sheets. They’re
softer. Smoother. And they fit better, for fewer wrinkles.
For too long, though, knitted sheets were neither practical
nor cost effective for healthcare facilities; a small tear
or hole caused runs or "zippers."
Our design team changed all that. After testing many different
combinations of yarn, various knitting constructions and special
cut and sew methods, Domestic Fabrics developed special knitted
fabric that offers all sorts of impressive advantages:
|
User Comfort. The soft spun yarn component provides
a soft, air-trapping layer between the mattress and
body, while the fabric structure delivers increased
permeability for good air flow. The patient is kept
warmer and less likely to suffer from skin shear or
compression sores.
Durability. Our knitted bedsheets easily last
three times longer than conventional institutional
bedsheets (some customers have even reported that ours
outlast others by four to five times).
Part of the reason is the quality construction –
all corners are fitted and taped, for example.
Part of the reason is the component yarn we use.
And part of the reason is the actual structure of the fabric
– it virtually eliminates running or zippering if a hole
is accidentally made.
Less labor. Our knitted sheets fit easily to the bed,
without the need for hospital corners. So staff members
spend a lot less time making – and remaking –
beds.
What’s more, beds look and stay neat due to no wrinkles
or creases; staff time and effort to keep the bed straightened
is reduced.
Reduced cost. Although our healthcare products cost
more initially, their extremely long life results in
significant savings over the life of the product.

NEW FADEFREE COLORING PROCESS.
Recently,  Domestic
Fabrics began using a new and complex process to produce our
healthcare products in colors.
Instead of dyeing, color is achieved by introducing chemically
active chromophores into the polyester fiber while it exists
in a liquid phase. These chromophores – or color particles
– are permanently sealed in the polyester fiber and so
they won’t wash out, change hue, or fade even when exposed
to institutional laundry conditions or chemicals. What’s
more, you can wash our FadeFree sheets and pillowcases with
white linens, without worrying about colors bleeding and discoloring
the whites.
One additional benefit: color consistency from lot to lot
is near perfect. So products you order today will match products
you order next year. And the year after that.

ADD SILVERion™, SUBTRACT MICROBES.
One of our most innovative fabric
options is the addition of our SILVERion™
antimicrobial feature.
An invisible silver compound – effective against more
than 650 strains of bacteria, yeast, fungi and molds –
is embedded in the fibers comprising the fabric. The products
actually combat the spread of infection, retard odor and wash
cleaner than conventional fabrics.
What’s more, SILVERion™ can keep linens from becoming
vectors of disease; microbes aren’t carried on blankets
or towels into hallways, laundry carts, etc.
As an added benefit, fabrics with SILVERion™ resist discoloration.
The SILVERion™ antimicrobial feature can be added to any of
our healthcare products.
