Technogel® Travel Pillow

Suggested for all type of travelers that want to experience a good night’s sleep away from their own bed. Technogel Travel Pillow is the ideal companion to bring everywhere.

Dimension: 30x30x10 cm (Standard)

WHY IS TECHNOGEL® DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER GEL?

There are other gels on the market, but Technogel® is clearly distinct from every other one. So-called “gel” products are not Technogel®. Why? Here follow 4 simple ways to differentiate Technogel® from these other gels.

These so-called gels are made combining a blue powder with a visco-elastic foam, which does not provide the Technogel® soft-solid 3-dimensional displacement. In other words, the material moves in every direction like water, keeping the shape memory as a solid body.

These other gels are molded with a honeycomb structure, using hard, but elastic compact materials, which don’t deform, but simply collapses under weight. This system basically works ON/OFF (the material collapses 100% of the time or not at all). Hence, it does not provide the modular adaptation quality of Technogel®.

Thin layers of flat “so-called” gels are thin to work providing a soft adapting support. Being solid, gel needs to be quite thick to function in the correct manner, which is to move and adapt to a body’s contours. The Technogel® materials in our product have been designed and ergonomically tested to ensure added value and “real deformability” to our supports for sleeping.

Flat gels poured in convoluted foams offer an uneven surface to support the body (areas of gel are combined with areas of foam with different mechanical properties). The mix of foam and gel avoid gel lateral movements. The “tower” geometry of the Technogel® surface, instead, has been carefully studied to provide the maximum degree of freedom for lateral displacement, while constantly maintaining an even surface.

“Makes short work of neck stiffness, bringing refreshing relief”

A restful night’s sleep has positive effects on your mind and body, it determines the quality of your life. Better nights mean better days. An appropriate pillow should be able to adapt to your body conformation and offer the maximum comfort; that’s why you cannot ignore, when choosing your new pillow, looking at high quality products that can enrich your sleeping experience.

The Technogel® pillow, made in Italy with particular care and attention to details, uses high technical and innovative materials that allow for a higher comfort performance.

The comfort grid

Technogel® is an unique 'soft solid' material that joins together the 3D deformation of a fluid an the memory shape of a solid. It's a completely non-toxic and stable polyurethane substance (made without using oils or plasticizers), at first developed for the medical field and now used in a wide range of applications, always exploiting the comfort added value it can provide.

		1. 3D Deformation \| Technogel® deforms 3 dimensionally and reacts to forces differently than the foam, deforming in all the three directions. Technogel moulds itself to each individual user's physical structure. Pressure is evenly distributed over the entire contact surface, and this generates a substantial reduction in pressure peaks leading to an improvement in blood circulation.

		2. Thermal Regulation \| Technogel® is characterized by an high thermal conductivity, compared with other good isolator materials, like foam. Technogel® is lowering the contact surface's temperature, as the heat generated by the human body is transported through its mass and partially dispersed. A decrease in skin temperature reduces the metabolism activity and, therefore, the demand of oxygen from tissues, granting a much more relaxed night sleep.

		3. Ventilation \| A specific tower design has been developed, to optimize both the ventilation and the 3D deformability of the Technogel®. This innovative design has open air channels from a minimum of 23% up to 36% of the top surface (according to the different models) and delivers extraordinary air circulation, also providing optimal moisture conduction. Thanks to its unique thermal properties, Tehcnogel® provides an enjoyable cool feeling

		4. Ergonomics \| We all know about the importance of sleeping in a self tailored mattress. Our body, particularly our spine, needs a support able to adapt to its 3D structure, without causing pain, tissue compression, or improper posture. In order to deepen the biomechanic and ergonomic properties of the Technogel® mattress, we performed several tests at the "Ergonomic Intitut of Munich", Germany. Great results were found for every simulated group of persons (small, medium-sized, large).

		5. Durability \| Technogel® is totally free from volatile agents, so that its components cannot split free or migrate, hence, not causing substance disaggregation. It does not harden or age, but it keeps its elastic and mechanical properties. Tests have demonstrated that it is able to withstand more than 300,000 pressure cycles without deformation that may affect its performances.

		6. Sleep Tests and Research \| A test was conduced in Turin "Le Molinette" sleep center on healthy volunteers and showed that was noticeable, during the night slept on the Technogel® based mattress, an increase (up to 45%) in time spent in Slow Wave Sleep, the phase in which the brain really rests (non-REM phases 3 and 4) and a decrease (up to 33%) of both time spent in non-REM sleep stage 1 ("light" sleep), then wake after sleep onset. Moreover, skin and mattress temperature were lower, and bed comfort higher. Professor's findings show that, in healthy volunteers, gel-based (Technogel®) mattress consolidates sleep; this effect could be ascribed to the thermal and biomechanical differences between foam and gel.
