 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The present project, ALL4REST, is focused on the development of comfort-improved rest systems, using non-obstrusive technologies that promote deeper, more restorative sleep and prevent nocturnal awakenings. The successful solutions will reduce awakenings and/or reduce time to sleep after an awakening and reduce sleep onset latency. Within the global comfort improvement, physical and thermal parameters will be investigated, establishing quantitative and qualitative evaluation of comfort and sleep quality system. To achieve it, use of biomaterials and research of new ones, eco-friendly technologies and processes in fabrics destined to rest will allow the development of new products focused on obtaining an improved rest system.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

How can we ensure a good night's sleep? A team of scientists looked at new technologies to design a new system enhancing our hours of rest.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Although we often take it for granted, sleep is one of the most essential elements for our physical and mental well-being. Often, bedrooms are far from optimised to ensure the quality of rest needed.

An international team of researchers worked to improve all aspects of our sleeping environment and to develop technologies that promote deeper, more restorative sleep. Collaborating on the EU-funded research project 'Integrated solutions for improve the quality of the rest' (ALL4REST), they developed new sleep-conductive materials, investigated the use of aromatherapy scents, thermoregulation materials and designed automatic monitoring and temperature-control systems.

Combining eco-friendly materials and advanced processing technologies, the project team developed new biofibre-based clothes for nightwear. Benefits include a softer, more comfortable feel, as well as being better for the skin in comparison to conventional materials.

Turning their attention to mattresses, the team developed a 'Phase Change Material' system. Using novel reactive materials, the bed is able to automatically adjust to temperature changes and release suitable sleep-enhancing scents.

The project successfully tested various innovative manufacturing processes for the new technologies in order to assess their commercial viability.

ALL4REST showcased its prototype products at a number of top international design fairs, where they garnered significant interest from within the design community. The market potential is being developed in further ongoing collaboration.

With a huge potential market, the innovative technologies could bring large economic benefits for manufacturers, while for millions of people it could lead to many better nights of slumber.
