Kylie by Ontex Healthcare

Kylie Technology

The multi-layer system inside every Kylie that keeps the user dry and the mattress protected, wash after wash.

Kylie's research and design team formulated a fibre composition unique to the Kylie brand across the Ultra Absorbent Bedding and Washable Protection ranges. The advanced technology is a multi-layer active system in which each layer performs its own job, so fluid passes quickly off the skin, spreads evenly, locks away in the core, and never reaches the mattress. It is why health care professionals recommend Kylie as a preferred choice in bedding and washable protection, and why they simply call them "kylies".

The five layers, and what each one does

  • Layer 1

    Soft blue quilt top

    A non-pilling, specially knitted polyester fleece that lets fluid penetrate quickly to the next layer, and stops it returning to the surface under pressure, known as wick-back. This is the stay-dry side that sits against the skin.

  • Layer 2

    Breathable layer

    A breathable polyester layer that moves fluid fast into the holding tank below.

  • Layer 3

    Holding tank

    An inner felt super-soaker core that locks and absorbs fluid, spreading it evenly through the pad so the surface stays dry for a good night's sleep.

  • Layer 4

    Waterproof layer

    A durable polymer barrier that prevents leakage with triple protection. Premium products add anti-fungal, anti-mould and fire-retardant treatment.

  • Layer 5

    Non-slip backing

    A PVC backing with a terry knit face that grips the sheet beneath, helping prevent movement through the night.

What that means in practice

The layer system is why a Kylie Supreme Mac holds over 2.5 litres and still feels dry to the touch, why kylies survive years of hot 65°C washes in domestic and commercial machines, and why the same construction scales from a compact chair pad to a full fitted mattress cover. Every product in the range is latex free and dermatologically tested.
