DES PLAINES, ILL.—Originating more than 2000 years ago, the neem tree has been trusted for centuries for its natural antiseptic, antiviral and antifungal properties. Today, bedding manufacturer and marketer United Feather & Down has partnered with the PRONEEM company to bring the benefits of this ancient plant to luxury bedding for the first time.
Unlike many other treatments, which are chemical pesticides, PRONEEM is nontoxic and dermatologist-tested to be hypoallergenic and long-lasting, a perfect solution for those looking for powerful, all-natural protection from bacteria and dust mites. Its power comes from neem extract, which has been recognized for years for its medical and organic insecticide properties, and its unique design is based on neem microcapsules, specially developed for use on United Feather & Down’s bedding, filling and fabrics. Additionally, PRONEEM is based on biodegradable active components, so it’s completely safe for the environment.
Originating in India, the neem tree now grows in the drier regions of more than 50 countries around the world. The plant has a long history of use, having been trusted for centuries in agriculture as an insect and pest repellent, in human and veterinary medicine, in toiletries and cosmetics. The power of neem stems from compounds in its seeds, bark and leaves called limonoids, which have proven antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. PRONEEM is offered as a treatment on all of United Feather & Down’s down and down-alternative products.
“With proven efficacy over the years, neem extract is a powerful yet extremely safe antimicrobial,” says Brandon Palmer, Co-President at United Feather & Down. “For those looking for an all-natural, organic antimicrobial treatment for bedding, our PRONEEM treatment is a great choice.”
