LONDON, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Budget hotel chain Travelodge plans to test experimental pajamas designed to increase the comfort of guests at locations in Britain.
The pajamas, made from a fabric called Dermasilk, were developed after a Travelodge survey of 3,000 adults found 23 percent of respondents were kept awake at night by itchy sleepwear, The Daily Telegraph said Tuesday.
The survey also found 66 percent of those polled were kept awake by temperature-related concerns, with 54 percent complaining of heat and 35 percent complaining of cold.
Travelodge said the new pajamas -- scheduled for a test run at hotels in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester and Edinburgh -- are designed to regulate body temperature and prevent itching resulting from fabric-related concerns, as well as skin disorders including eczema and dermatitis.
