Peer-reviewed research shows that copper-infused Natuverex® fabric tampers down inflammatory signals in immune cells.1 By upholstering Copper by Spring Air mattresses with this textile, we help sleepers wake up with less morning stiffness while still enjoying copper’s cooling and antimicrobial perks.
Copper Fabric in Mattresses Eases Nightly Swelling
The Science in Plain English
Copper ions released from the mattress cover mingle with skin moisture and calm overactive macrophages, cutting back messenger chemicals—IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6—that trigger swelling.1
Key Findings From the 2023 Study
Lab Test | Result | Bedtime Benefit |
---|---|---|
Macrophage cytokine output | ↓ up to 60 % | Less joint inflammation |
NF-κB pathway activity | Significantly muted | Core “fire alarm” turned off |
Muscle-cell insulin response | Improved sensitivity | Stable night-time glucose |
Why Spring Air Uses Natuverex®
- Embedded ions never wash out.
- Skin-safe dosage mirrors the lab study; no irritation.
- Dual action: anti-microbial + anti-inflammatory.
Where to Find Copper in Our Lineup
- Copper by Spring Air – Cover quilted entirely with Natuverex.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does copper fabric reduce inflammation?
Copper ions down-regulate NF-κB and IRF3 signaling in immune cells, lowering inflammatory cytokines.
Will I feel the copper?
No—Natuverex fabric feels like a soft knit; copper ions are microscopic.
Does the effect wash out?
Embedded ions remain active for the mattress’s lifetime.
