Description

[0001] The invention relates to a wellness-promoting textile product consisting of a multi-layered, quilted structure with a textile backing layer and a top layer, according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] From DE 20 2022 106 551 U1, a vitality pillowcase is known, wherein it consists at least partially of natural fibers and contains at least one plant active ingredient woven in. The plant active ingredient is selected from the group consisting of lavender or mixtures of lavender and mint.

[0003] According to the solution described there, the plant active ingredient is placed in the pillowcase in the form of whole leaves, leaf particles or leaf powder.

[0004] DE 42 04 222 C1 discloses the use of a nonwoven carrier releasing essential oils, in particular for the inhalational treatment of colds or respiratory infections.

[0005] A non-woven fabric carrier is inserted or attached to a casing made of air-permeable layers of dry non-woven fabric. A plastic film serves as a moisture barrier and is either placed inside the casing as a base or attached to its outside. The essential oils contained in the non-woven fabric carrier are gradually released and can be inhaled by the subject, for example, when a pillow forms.

[0006] A cover for bedding using antibacterial or antimicrobial fibers is known from DE 10 2020 128 264 A1.

[0007] EP 3 233 267 B1 discloses coated microcapsules with a polymer shell and liquid core materials enclosed therein.

[0008] The liquid core material can include one or more active ingredients, the one or more of which are selected from, for example, fragrances, vitamins, skin care products, enzymes, probiotics, essential oils and other components.

[0009] A textile material containing bioceramic microparticles is also known. Reference is made here to EP 2 262 943 B1. The microparticles are embedded in the fibers of the textile. The bioceramic microparticles exhibit a high capacity for infrared radiation, whereby, in contact with the heat of the human body, infrared radiation in the range of 3.0 µm to 14.8 µm can be transferred. The infrared radiation in this wavelength range promotes microcirculation, and the aforementioned bioceramic microparticles are coated with at least aluminum silicate, zinc oxide, and barium magnesium carbonate.

[0010] According to one training course, the textile consists of a material in which the bioceramic microparticles are impregnated into the fibers.

[0011] The teaching of EP 3 140 004 B1 discloses bioceramic compositions for a garment, which are intended to increase muscle endurance, muscle regeneration, or sleep quality in a subject. The bioceramic composition in question is applied to more than 5% of the garment's surface.

[0012] The EP 3 140 004 B1 standard also defines a garment as a bed sheet, pillow, pillowcases, blankets, duvet covers or mattress covers.

[0013] The bioceramic composition is activated upon heating and includes as components kaolinite, tomaline, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide in a defined composition.

[0014] It is known that bioceramic materials, when incorporated into or applied to textiles, reflect human heat and activate far-infrared light. This light, when the textile is positioned appropriately, penetrates the user's skin to stimulate microcirculation, promote cell and tissue metabolism, and strengthen the skin's microbiome. Furthermore, bio-based cosmetic technology for textiles derived from probiotics helps restore the skin's natural balance and smooth its texture.

[0015] However, no wellness-promoting textile product is known from the state of the art that combines the described properties in a practical way that is easy for a user to achieve a surprising, combinatorial effect when using the textile product.

[0016] From the foregoing, it is therefore an object of the invention to provide a further developed wellness-promoting textile product consisting of a multi-layered, quilted structure with a textile backing layer and a top layer.

[0017] The problem of the invention is solved by the combination of features according to the teaching of claim 1, wherein the dependent claims represent at least expedient embodiments and further developments.

[0018] A feature of the novel, wellness-promoting textile product according to the invention is the combination of embedded bioceramics in a mat layer and the use of probiotic threads with microcapsules in an outer cover layer.

[0019] According to the invention, it is therefore assumed that a wellness-promoting textile product is used, which consists in a manner known per se of a multi-layered, quilted structure with a textile backing layer and a top layer.

[0020] According to the invention, a loose, cotton-like structure of fibers or threads is embedded and fixed between the support layer and the cover layer.

[0021] Bioceramic components are embedded in the loose, cotton-like structure, which release far-infrared heat radiation when heated to body temperature.

[0022] Furthermore, the top layer contains probiotics, in particular probiotic threads with microcapsules, whereby the probiotics are released when subjected to mechanical forces, e.g. by friction.

[0023] In a further development according to the invention, a layer of quilted fabric is provided for stabilization during quilting.

[0024] The textile product consists primarily of polyester textile fibers and regenerated cellulose fibers.

[0025] According to the invention, the wellness-promoting textile product is designed as a pillowcase, sleep mask or duvet for human use, wherein, in the case of use, the top layer containing the probiotic component is facing the body, in particular the skin of the user, in order to support the skin microbiome.

[0026] Additionally, it is possible to embed silver particles, especially silver threads, with a corresponding disinfecting effect in at least one of the layers.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the textile product as a pillowcase, the stabilizing quilting has a spacing of the quilted seams of essentially 5 to 10 cm, in particular of essentially 7 to 9 cm.

[0028] Another design option is that the structure of the textile product contains odor-neutralizing components, especially essential oils.

[0029] The loose, cotton-like structure consists essentially of 60% polyester textile fibers and 40% bioceramic components.

[0030] The top layer consists essentially of 60% polyester textile fibers and essentially 32% regenerated cellulose fibers containing probiotics.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the wellness-promoting textile product as a pillowcase, the multi-layered structure is sewn together in a known manner to form a corresponding cover and can be further covered with a thin fabric covering when in use.

[0032] Such a wellness-promoting textile product, designed as a pillowcase, can be used for several weeks and months. Gentle cleaning is also possible without losing the beneficial properties of the cover.

[0033] The structure of the top layer containing the probiotics is designed so that when the microcapsules are opened, the respective probiotic components can escape and come into contact with the user's main surface. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
