Most people who deal with acne-prone skin are aware that bacteria on pillowcases can be an aggravating factor and the Silvon anti-bacterial pillow aims to resolve this issue.
The pillowcase is made with silk-coated fibers which are "finer than human hair." The silver fibers work by attracting negatively charged bacteria and destroying them once they come in contact. The pillowcase offers a variety of benefits, including less frequent washing, antimicrobial protection, limited degradation, no chemicals and environmentally friendly conditions due to the limited washing required for its use. It also features a 300 thread count, which makes it extremely soft and luxurious.
By limiting the number of times the user needs to wash their pillowcase, Silvon's anti-bacterial pillowcase is an efficient product for people who suffer from acne, as well as people who are generally health-conscious, can enjoy.

Trend Themes
1. Anti-bacterial Bedding - Encapsulated silver and copper could be incorporated into bedding to create self-disinfecting sheets and blankets.
2. Sustainable Textile Production - Using technology that consumes less energy or materials while enduring longer product usage such as enzyme processing, plasma technology and bioprinting could lead to a more efficient and eco-friendlier production of textiles.
3. Smart Bedding - By measuring heart rate, breathing rate and body temperature, the bedding could be adjusted to make sure the user is not too hot or cold and that breathing and heart rates are normal.
Industry Implications
1. Home Textiles - Incorporating silver or copper into beddings or other textile products that are commonly used around the house could create a new market for anti-bacterial products.
2. Cosmetics and Beauty Products - Developing a product that works similar to how silver-coated fibers work on Silvon's anti-bacterial pillowcase and that is safe, non-toxic and effective on the face could lead to new opportunities in the cosmetics and beauty industry.
3. Health and Wellness - Anti-bacteria bedding, particularly designed for people who have acne-prone skin or allergies, could create new opportunities in the health and wellness industry.
