Swiss+Cotton
Posted: Mai 2, 2022 in Quality, Labels and brands
Swiss+Cotton: Christian Fischbacher is one of very few companies in the world that are allowed to carry the swiss+cotton quality seal. The seal guarantees that these fine cotton textiles are produced in Switzerland and guarantees the highest quality throughout the entire value chain. Only the top 3% of cotton fabrics produced worldwide satisfies the seal’s exceptionally high standards in terms of material quality. Christian Fischbacher exclusively uses long staple cotton with the Supima quality seal for its swiss+cotton bed linen.
Thread Count: It is possible to produce very dense fabrics. However, if a fabric is too dense, this often reduces moisture transfer. We believe that this is not entirely suitable for bed linen in particular, we consistently focus on quality instead. The quality of a fabric depends on the raw materials and finish used. We use long staple cotton, linen and silk. The natural fibres have many advantages for bed linen, making it absorbent and strong. It absorbs perspiration, creating a uniquely comfortable sleeping environment. Furthermore, we only use top-quality, environmentally friendly dyes and the best pre- and post-treatment processes. Quality is more than just the thread count.
(Our satin has a thread count of about 300, while the thread count of our Fil-à-Fil products is 440).

Nomite
Posted: Apr 9, 2017 in Quality, Hygiene, care and allergies, Labels and brands
The NOMITE mark indicates that a product is suitable for house-dust-mite-allergy sufferers: because down- and feather-filled products offer excellent thermal and climatic conditions for humans (rapid warming up when one is sleeping, rapid decrease in humidity when the bedding is aired), they provide a very poor habitat for house dust mites, which rely on high humidity to live.
The tight weave of the down- and feather-proof fabric acts as a barrier preventing the mites from passing through and offers, thus, additional protection. So that also those who suffer from house dust allergies or asthma can enjoy the natural comfort afforded by down and feather bedding. This has been demonstrated by scientific research.
Das NOMITE-Zeichen signalisiert Ihnen, dass es sich um ein Produkt handelt, das für Hausstaubmilbenallergiker geeignet ist. Denn federn- und daunengefüllte Bettwaren sind mit ihren für den Menschen so günstigen Wärme- und Klimaverhältnissen (schneller Wärmeaufbau während des Schlafens, schneller Feuchtigkeitsabbau beim Lüften) für die feuchtigkeitsabhängigen Milben eine sehr ungünstige Umgebung.
ZusätzlichenSchutz bietet das federn- und daunendichte Hüllengewebe, das einer Einwanderung von Milben entgegenwirkt. Auch als Hausstauballergiker oder Asthmatiker brauchen Sie also nicht auf den natürlichen Schlafkomfort, den Daunen und Federn bieten, zu verzichten. Das wurde durch wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen belegt.
