2000 pocket springs luxurious fillings including cashmere, silk, horsehair & mohair Anti bug treatment Tencel cover Full turn mattress 4 Handles Vents to help the mattress breathe Eco By Shire Beds Modern life throws enough things our way to stress & bug us. We certainly donÆt need the creepy-crawly variety inviting themselves into our beds. They wonÆt bite your leg off, but they can result in some pretty itchy skin irritations. Worst of all, they cause real anxiety & experiencing phantom itching is common. ShouldnÆt we be drifting off into dreamland rather than having our imaginations run wild? But in Yorkshire, we donÆt suffer fools or bedbugs lightly. ThatÆs why weÆre launching our eco Shire bedbug banishing mattresses with Eco Shield« technology. Based on oil extracted from a tree, weÆd say itÆs a reet clever way to make a great comfy bed even better. The science bit. All fibres & textile materials treated by Eco Shield« are wash-resistant, thanks to microcapsule technology. This technology permits the active ingredient to be released gradually over time, since the capsules only break open when using the mattress. We love it. Insects donÆt! Eucalyptus Citriodora is a tree that grows in temperate & tropical places & oil is distilled & enriched from its leaves. This natural oil is well known to give relief from sinus infections, the common cold, bronchitis, flu & other respiratory diseases. Eucalyptus oil has anti-microbial & anti-bacterial properties, which is why itÆs often used in perfumes, lotions, deodorants, soaps & other hygiene products. Eco Shield« protects against many different insects, including: bedbugs, dust mites, mosquitoes & moths.
