This pillow cleverly marries the latest breakthroughs in materials science with bionics, aiming to bring users an unprecedented sleeping experience and emotional fulfillment.
The bionic whale-shaped design not only leads to a unique visual aesthetic, but also emotionally gives a sense of peace and safety as if being protected in a shelter, meeting the demand of modern people for spiritual comfort. Through meticulous adjustments to the shape, the product can flexibly adapt to various sleeping positions like sleeping on the stomach/back/side, etc., or serve as a soothing pillow, which perfectly fits and supports the head, face and neck, providing an optimal ergonomic solution to users.
As for material selection, carbon dioxide is captured to react with propylene oxide under a special catalyst, so as to produce poly propylene carbonate polyol (carbon dioxide-based polyol). This innovative material significantly reduces the dependence on fossil fuels and improves the environmental value of the pillow. Its combination with bio-based vegetable oil-based polyols leads to a more natural and biodegradable product, most of which can be biologically decomposed in a relatively short time after abandonment, greatly easing the environmental burden. Additionally, the distinctive materials, paired with fully water-blown environment-friendly foaming process, achieve low surface hardness for utmost comfort, and allow the pressure generated by the head, face and neck to be evenly distributed, offering stable support with the wrapping effect. Also featuring excellent hydrophilic properties, the materials, dry and crisp, ensure a more comfortable experience for users.
