Why choosing the right bed linen is important if you suffer from psoriasis ?

Most people spend a 1/3 of their life in bed and therefore being comfortable is very important.

Unfortunately psoriasis can be uncomfortable and interfere with a good night sleep.

What to keep in mind when choosing bed linen for someone who suffers from psoriasis ?

It is widely known that some bed linen fabrics can irritate the skin for example flannel or synthetic fabric.

Warmth is also a major night time itch factor.

Therefore fabrics that are 100% natural are more breathable and less likely to irritate or stick to your skin.

Also choosing a fabric that is soft, smooth, anti microbial and hypoallergenic  can be more comfortable and less likely aggravate your skin.

Try to avoid hard and rough fabrics like wool and polyester which could scratch the skin.

Wash your bed every week and keep it clean of any medicated ointment and don’t use fabric softeners this will irritate the skin.
