Breathability is one of the three essential properties of a sleep mattress support system. Good breathability can effectively keep the bed and mattress dry, accelerate heat and moisture dissipation, prevent the growth of bacteria and mites caused by humid environments, improve sleep comfort, and avoid skin allergies and respiratory diseases caused by environmental humidity.

1、The Impact of Support System Breathability on Sleep

During sleep, the skin and respiratory system are easily affected, leading to reduced deep sleep and decreased sleep quality. If the bed lacks good breathability, the humid and sultry environment will keep the skin in a high-moisture state, inducing itching, eczema, rashes, and even rheumatism or respiratory diseases due to moisture accumulation.

Especially in humid island regions or subtropical areas, studies have shown that when humidity exceeds 50% and room temperature is maintained between 20°C and 30°C, mites, mold, bacteria, and their excretions can trigger allergic rhinitis, asthma, skin diseases, or respiratory system illnesses.

In addition, long-term exposure to damp bedding makes it more likely to cause bedsores than dry mattresses, especially in areas where patients are confined to bed for extended periods. The moist environment accelerates skin softening and fungal growth, making the mattress prone to pressure sores. For people who are bedridden for long periods, using highly breathable mattresses and pillows can effectively prevent local pressure accumulation and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.

2、Product Improvement Strategies for Support System Breathability

The optimization of breathability in sleep support systems can be achieved through structural design and intelligent air circulation technology.

Structural Design

(1) Natural Porous Materials: The natural porous structure enhances air circulation, accelerating the dissipation of moisture and heat.

(2) Fiber-Reinforced Mesh Layers: Multiple layers of fiber structures are superimposed to improve the dryness of the mattress and pillow.

Intelligent Air Circulation Technology

(1) Active Ventilation Technology: Micro fans or air cores built inside the mattress actively regulate air circulation within the bed, quickly discharging moisture and heat.

(2) Air Regulation System: Intelligent sensor control systems built into mattresses or pillows can automatically adjust ventilation levels based on environmental temperature and humidity.
