The Second International Conference by Centexbel, will focus on innovations in sports materials. The Road to Tokyo will take place 19-20.11.2019 in Ghent, Belgium.

SleepAngel team will participate in the event to introduce PneumaPure filter technology bedding that reduces risks of viruses and allergic triggers.

Following significant advances in hydration and nutrition, sleep science has come into sharp focus for elite sport. Sportsmen picking up bugs or responding to allergic triggers at home and in hotels can cause respiratory impairment or “5% under” syndrome on competition days. SleepAngel bedding with PneumaPure filter technology, that will be presented at the conference, is a clinically proven barrier to pathogens and allergens and has therefore found its place in many elite sports teams recovery tool set.

About PneumaPure filtration technology

PneumaPure filtration technology is highly specialised nano-porous medium that is a clinically proven barrier to pathogens, allergens and microbes. SleepAngel mattresses and pillows are hermetically sealed and the airflow is secured via the filter. This prevents the risks associated with regular pillows - interior contamination and build-up of allergens and microbes. In other words, the only thing that can get in or out of a SleepAngel bedding is pure air because they breathe/ventilate through the purifying filter.

Due to its nano-porous design the filter functions mechanically rather than chemically (i.e. it does not use biocides, pesticide or antihistamine to be effective). PneumaPure Filter technology is unique, and patent protected globally.
