Why don't we use virgin cotton?
As one of the main fabrics used in the bedding industry, cotton is praised for its natural properties, moisture absorption and softness. But there are other things worth knowing about cotton - how global cotton production covers 2.5% of terrestrial crops and uses 16% of pesticides and is the 4th GMO (genetically modified crop) in the world
Furthermore, to produce 1 ton of cotton fabric, 200 tonnes of water is needed - to put it in perspective, producing 1 kg of cotton, which is the average weight of king size sheets, requires 20,000 liters of water. According to the UN, humans need an average of 50 liters of water a day to prepare food and maintain personal hygiene, while some countries affected by water shortages survive on 20 liters a day. This means that the production of 1 ton of cotton sheets uses the equivalent of water necessary for the survival of 400 people.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
We design our packaging with the circular economy in mind. The eco-friendly design of our boxes saves valuable space in transit and therefore reduces emissions. We also only use biodegradable recycled paper made from 100% recycled pulp in our cartons, which we encourage our customers to reuse to extend its useful life.
LESS IMPACT
This helps us reduce the use of virgin paper, which in turn reduces forestry cutting, which promotes a cleaner environment. When the shelf life of these products comes to an end, we encourage our customers to put them in paper containers to be recycled and remade into high-quality materials, thus closing the circle.
FREE OF PLASTIC
In keeping with our commitment to eliminating disposable plastics, we do not use plastic packaging with our pillows and have replaced them with a lightweight, dye-free dust bag, which again can be reused and recycled.
SECOND LIFE
All returned pillows are either donated to charities or sent to a fabric recycling program, which recycles them into new fabrics.

WHY CHOOSE BRIGHTR® SILK PILLOWCASE?
Did you know that sleep wrinkles, which usually disappear during the day, can slowly develop into permanent lines as you age? Silk is the best kept beauty secret as it causes less friction than other materials and minimizes the effects of aging. Silk is a natural material and, unlike cotton, does not like to absorb moisture, despite being very breathable. Sleeping in the Brightr Silk pillowcase will help your skin absorb the beauty products applied to the skin, keep your skin hydrated overnight and keep away bacteria. Sleeping on silk pillowcases can also help your hair's health to some extent, as it's so soft that your hair will glide over it, reducing the likelihood of tangles and headboard in the morning.
LESS SLEEPING CREASES
The Brightr Silk Pillowcase will help reduce friction, which can be caused by regular pillowcases, which allow the skin to slide over the pillow and reduce sleep creases, which can cause sleep wrinkles.
HEALTHIER HAIR
Regular pillowcases can create friction with your hair, causing it to pull and tangle overnight, leading to the headboard in the morning. Sleeping in a soft silk pillowcase will help you wake up with straighter hair in the morning.
BETTER ABSORPTION OF SKIN PRODUCTS
Silk is significantly less absorbent than other natural fibers, so it can help maintain the skin's natural moisture levels and also allow skin and hair care products to be absorbed better overnight.
SOFT ON SKIN
Because silk pillowcases absorb less moisture and dirt, it is gentler on the skin of people with acne or sensitive skin than rough cotton pillowcases.
HYPOALLERGENIC
It is hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin. Silk is also naturally resistant to mold, dust and mites.
NON TOXIC
Our silk pillowcase has been certified by Oeko-tex and we do not use any harmful chemicals or toxic dyes so you can enjoy a restful and healthy night's sleep.
WHY CHOOSE BRIGHTR® COPPER PILLOWCASE?
Copper is a natural mineral found in all body tissues and is an essential nutrient that helps the body form collagen and absorb iron, and plays a role in energy production. It has been used in skin care, with the objective of improving the skin's well-being and acting in the synthesis and stabilization of skin proteins. Our pillowcase copper fibers are infused with copper oxide. It is activated on contact with the skin and enhances the skin's natural cell renewal process, as well as helping to maintain optimal moisture levels.
SOFT ON SKIN
The Brightr® copper pillowcase is soft to the touch, allowing the skin to slide against the pillow, reducing creases that can cause wrinkles during sleep.
FRIENDLY HAIR
Regular pillowcases can create friction with your hair, causing it to pull and tangle overnight, leading to the headboard in the morning. Sleeping in our copper pillowcase will help you wake up with straighter hair in the morning.
COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
Copper is a vital element needed in collagen synthesis and has been proven to aid in natural cell regeneration, helping to improve the skin's appearance.
BACTERIAL BATTLES
Copper has been clinically proven to kill viruses, bacteria and fungi. Now you can bring more hygienic sleep to your bedroom with the Brightr® Sleep Copper Pillowcase and enjoy an invigorating, allergy-free night's sleep.
WILL NOT WASH
To ensure maximum effectiveness of copper's rejuvenating, anti-odor and antibacterial powers, we insert them into the Brightr® Sleep copper pillowcase instead of spraying the fabrics with copper ions, so it will never wash.
NON TOXIC
We don't use any harmful chemicals or toxic dyes so you can enjoy a restful, healthy night's sleep.
