FAQs
What makes these eczema mittens special for children?
These mittens are designed to help your little one sleep better and scratch less. Made from 100% organic cotton, they’re soft, breathable, and gentle on sensitive or eczema-prone skin. The integral mittens help prevent scratching and irritation, while the opening design gives flexibility for eating, drinking, or using a touchscreen.
How do the opening mittens work?
The mittens can be easily folded open or closed as needed. When closed, they protect the hands and skin from scratching or damage. When opened, they allow your child to use their hands for daily activities like playtime or mealtimes. They are carefully designed so the mittens stay securely closed and don’t flop open on their own.
How do these pajamas help with eczema and itching?
They help break the itch-scratch cycle by covering the hands, minimizing skin damage, and reducing irritation during sleep. The smooth organic cotton allows the skin to breathe and stay cool, while the flat seams and tag-free design ensure comfort even for very sensitive skin.
Can my child wear them during the day or just at night?
These pajamas are suitable for both day and night. They can be worn as a dry layer during the day for protection or as part of wet wrap therapy at night to support healing and hydration. The mid-weight cotton keeps skin covered without overheating.
Are these eczema mittens safe for allergy-prone skin?
Yes. They are Allergy UK approved and completely free from latex, elastane, and synthetic fibers. There are no itchy internal labels, and the flat internal seams are soft against the skin, helping reduce irritation and flare-ups.
What material are they made from?
They are made from 100% certified organic cotton in a mid-weight fabric. The thread used is cotton-covered polyester for added durability. The result is a breathable, gentle fabric that feels natural and soothing against the skin.
Do they help protect against nighttime scratching and infection?
Yes. The closed mitten design helps prevent scratching during sleep, reducing the risk of open sores, scarring, and secondary infection. The close-fitting neckline also prevents little hands from sneaking underneath the fabric to scratch irritated areas.
Do the mittens help kids sleep better?
Yes. By preventing scratching and irritation, these mittens make it easier for children to settle and stay asleep through the night. Many parents notice that their child’s skin looks calmer and less inflamed after sleeping in these pajamas.
How should I wash and care for them?
Wash at 140°F using a non-bio detergent (enzyme free) or powder. Turn the garment inside out before washing for best results. Tumble dry on a cool setting or hang to dry. For hygiene and comfort, it’s best to wash after each wear to remove creams, dead skin, and allergens like dust mites. The cotton may stretch slightly during wear but will return to shape after washing.
Where are they made?
These eczema mittens are made by Cotton Comfort in Turkey, using high-quality, ethically sourced organic cotton and allergy-safe materials. Each garment is carefully constructed to provide lasting comfort for children with sensitive skin.
