| DESIGN NAME: Right Degree PRIMARY FUNCTION: Sleepwear INSPIRATION: In sportswear a functional revolution has taken place but we still spend one third of our lives in one of the least innovative and purpose-driven garments around. That is why we founded Dagsmejan, dedicated to developing the most innovative sleepwear that will help you enjoy the quality of sleep you need and deserve. The Dagsmejan team and ecosystem consists of sleep scientists, textile engineers, and research and manufacturing partners from leading institutions and companies across Europe. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Sleepwear reinvented by Dagsmejan Through functionally optimized sleepwear we stay in the ideal climatic zone longer during the night, improving our sleep quality and duration. Using a high tech natural fibre and integrated functional zones Dagsmejan sleepwear is scientifically proven to boost sleep comfort. This type of integrated functional zones is known from sportswear but has never before been used in fine-knitting of natural fibres. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: We spend a third of our lives sleeping yet think little about what we wear during this time. By wearing functionally optimized sleepwear we can boost our sleep comfort for a better sleep. Dagsmejan sleepwear improves sleep comfort on four levels. 1. Keep the best temperature for sleep. 2. Outstanding moisture management. 3. Supreme fit and comfort. 4. Super soft touch. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The mission to reinvent sleepwear started in 2016 in Switzerland. To ensure that a truly breakthrough range of sleepwear was developed an ecosystem of sleep scientists, researchers and textile engineers was built across Europe. Suppliers in Austria and Portugal conducted knitting trials and developed prototypes through 2016-2017. Finally, a brand new range of sleepwear was produced start of 2018.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Integrated functional knitting zones are common in sportswear using synthetic fibres or with a small range of less fine natural fibres. By using circular knitting with jacquard panels we have managed to create a super fine fabric using natural fibres. Different possible knitting structures were first tested for their temperature and moisture management properties and then integrated into the fabric and garment in the areas of the body where we tend to sweat and get warm. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Nattwell fabric: 94% hydrophobic treated MicroModal and 6% elastane Circular knit integrating single jersey with semi-pique structures Some key measurements size M: Centre back length of garment: 68 cm Sleeve length from neck: 70.5 cm Half waist: 42.5 cm TAGS: Sleepwear, functional sleepwear, high performance natural fibres, integrated functional zones RESEARCH ABSTRACT: A federally funded research project (CTI project in Switzerland), has been conducted where professor Akersted from the Stockholm university has given provided latest insights from sleep research to design a first layer truly addressing our physiological sleep needs. In Switzerland material scientists and textile engineers from EMPA and the Hochschule fur Kunst and Design have researched and tested all fabrics. Fibres as well as knitting structures have been tested in lab, flat testing as well as torso testing, and the garments have been tested with consumers. Based on the research a range of sleepwear has been developed that is scientifically proven to boost sleep comfort for a better sleep. CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge has been to create a garment that gives the benefit of synthetic fibres whilst using very fine natural fibres. Creating integrated functional zones in a fabric that is stabile and at the same time super soft has required over a year of knitting trials to come to the final result. It is a technically very complicated process but has allowed us to combine the best of natural fibres with the advantages of high performance fabrics.
