As seen in Healthy, Woman's Own and Menopause Matters.
As the first stockists outside of America we at SlumberSlumber are delighted to bring you Goodnighties, a revolutionary new concept in sleepwear. These unique nightdresses have been made with the patented IonX fabric. This specially developed fabric has negative ions permanently built into the fibre structure.
Negative ion fabrics have been used for decades by sports stars and Olympic athletes to increase alertness, attentiveness and give an overall sense of well-being.
Among other properties it has been shown to:
Help Induce Sleep
Negatively charged Ions increase blood flow and so oxygen to the brain. Increased oxygen levels to the brain profoundly affect sleeping patterns, leading to better sleep and better alertness when awake.
Help with Aches and Pains
It is has been proven to increase blood flow to tired achy muscles, helping with joint pain, arthritis and the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Help Control Night Sweats
IonX fabric has the ability to wick moisture away from the body leaving the sleeper feeling fresher and more relaxed.
The comfortable 4-way stretch design was specifically developed to maximise the exposure of IonX fabric against your skin.The fabric used for Goodnighties is feather-light, soft and perfect for ultra-sensitive skin. It is also anti-microbial and static free.
Sleep expert Sammy Margo says...
" 70-80% of menopausal women experience hot flushes, when these occur at night they can be followed by night sweats, which wake you up and leave you soaked through.
Temperature increases at night cause a reduction in the release of your sleepy hormone melatonin and results in restless sleep.
Now there is new, interesting nightwear concept called Goodnighties. The Ionx fabric wicks moisture away into the fabric keeping you cool at night. The Ionx fabric may also help with joint pain, and arthritis.
I can say that after wearing the nightie for a month I got less overheated, waking up less and getting more restful sleep."

How it works
Ionx is a patented fabric into which Dr Albert B. Ouimet BS, MBA, PhD has carried out detailed research. His full report can be found in a link above.
Below is a summary of the report highlighting the key benefits of Ionx.
Research by leading sleep experts at Columbia University Drs. M Terman and JS Terman has shown that negatively charged ions have a positive effect on people suffering from seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The negative ions increase brain wave amplitude and they promote alpha waves. These waves spread across both sides of the brain and create an overall calming effect helping us to enter deep sleep quicker.
Negative ions also increase the levels of two important hormones in the brain, Serotonin and Melatonin. Serotonin helps promote a ‘happy feeling’ and reduces tension leading to a more relaxed sleep state. Serotonin has positive effects on other areas of the body including:
• Reinforcing collagen tissue
• Strengthening the functions of automatic nerves
• Improving the permeability of the cell’s plasma membranes
• Improving metabolism
• Strengthening the body’s immune system.
Melatonin is synthesized from Serotonin and produced in the pineal gland of the brain. Melatonin helps to regulate our circadian cycle by chemically causing drowsiness, helping us to get to sleep. Melatonin carries out several other powerful functions including:
• Synchronizing our biological clocks
• Absorbing harmful free radicals
As well as the benefits of increased levels of Serotonin and Melatonin, Ionx increases blood flow and oxygen levels promoting a range of other health benefits including:
• Healing broken bones and relieving arthritis through the migration of calcium ions
• Relief with joint pain and increased joint mobility
I have suffered for eighteen months with terrible night sweats and sleepless nights. The first night I wore the Goodnighties nightie I was pleased as punch to have had a decent sleep. I still had night sweats but due to the fabric of the nightie I wasn't soaking wet and uncomfortable. I think it's an amazing new concept, and tell everyone about Goodnighties.
Excellent product. Had the best sleep for a long time. Still had the flushes but the nightie took it away from my skin. Well worth the expense for a comfortable night.
I have just had my first goodnights sleep after 5 months of terrible night sweats,due to coming off HRT. This nightdress is amazing and worth every penny. It definately works.

The specially developed IonX fabric has negative ions permanently built into the fibre structure, so the effect will not wash out. Goodnighties sleepwear is also anti-microbial, meaning that if you suffer from night sweats, you'll find that you won't need to wash your Goodnightie quite as often as your normal sleepwear, as the fabric works to wick moisture away from your body leaving you feeling fresher.
