hollow fibre mattress protector cover lighting up when rubbing the cover

Sounds very strange right? Tonight we discovered whilst moving our hands back on forth on the hollowfibre mattress protector that where our hands touch the protector, it lights up as if it has electricity running through it?:eek:

Has anyone heard this before?

it literally looks like our hands have electricity flowing from them onto the mattress protector!

Careful... The effects of this phenomenon are likely to make your hair stand on end! :eek:

P.S This is the same thing I get when I stroke the cat on our LVT floor. Sparks will jump from my fingers to the cat's ears if I put them close by.

To be honest, the cat isn't very happy when this happens and certainly isn't as impressed as you seem to be.

I'm not impressed, it seems like more than static to me.

Bear in mind, it's a new mattress protector too.

Certain types of sticky tape give out a flash light when unpeeled quickly!

Try it in the dark for a bit of fun!
