We tested our BodyShield with over 60 clients to find out what they thought of it compared to their clinic’s current product of choice, and to determine what they feel is important when being treated by a therapist. A must-read for those who value client service and safety.
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) is the measurement of a material's resistance to penetration of bacteria. Using an independent, international laboratory, we compared the BFE of our BodyShield with that of an unbranded single-use fitted bed cover.
Purifas sponsored a clinical trial that was developed and completed by an independent microbiologist from Macquarie University in Sydney. The purpose of the trial was to determine:
• The average number of bacteria colony-forming units (CFU) that appeared after swabbing a therapy bed that had been used for a 10-minute massage.
• The effectiveness of our BodyShield in significantly reducing the transfer of bacteria and the risk of infection to your clients.
The results were astounding.
The Dream Topper story continues with a new extended face cradle version designed specifically for horseshoe-style or contoured therapy beds. Built from therapist feedback, it delivers the same premium comfort, hygiene and presentation as the original — now in a cradle-specific design that supports a smoother, more natural prone position. Part of the Purifas zero-towel solution, it helps reduce towel use, streamline hygiene and elevate every client experience.
Therapists often assume reusable automatically means sustainable — especially with towels. But when you look at the full lifecycle, laundry carries hidden water, energy, chemical and time costs that add up fast. This blog breaks down the real environmental impact of laundering versus recycling polypropylene, and shows why the greener choice isn’t about reusable vs single‑use in theory, but about which pathway actually reduces harm in a busy clinic.
