Outlast Technologies GmbH has developed Bailey, an engineered bedding fabric designed for pillows and comforters/duvets. The material combines high heat absorption capacity with a cooling surface and integrates temperature regulation technology with a Lyocell base.
Outlast Technologies GmbH has introduced Bailey, a newly developed engineered material for use in pillows and comforters/duvets. The company states that the fabric delivers high heat absorption performance along with a naturally cooling surface.
Bailey integrates Outlast’s temperature regulation technology with a Lyocell base material. According to the company, excess body heat is absorbed immediately, creating “a distinctly cool sensation” when the fabric comes into contact with the skin. The feature is positioned as particularly relevant for warm summer conditions and for individuals who experience night-time perspiration.
The material has a reported heat storage capacity of 7,500 J/m².
“This means the material not only cools on first contact but actively works throughout the entire night,” the company explained. “Excess heat is absorbed, stored, and released again when needed. Temperature peaks are effectively buffered, sweating is significantly reduced, and a balanced, comfortable sleep climate is supported.”
Bailey incorporates Lyocell fiber, which is largely derived from renewable raw materials and requires less water in production compared to cotton. The temperature-regulating capsules within the material contain wax derived from renewable sources, offering a bio-based alternative to fossil-based materials.
Outlast states that the textile features a light and clean appearance with a fine, uniform structure.
Bailey is manufactured in Europe and complies with international standards including Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 and Oeko-Tex Made in Green certifications.
