Selection Tips

Orthopedic pillows have a huge plus - there are no contraindications. But there are just a lot of options, and absolutely everyone wants to choose the best option. Below we have given a number of rules, following which you will make the right choice and be satisfied with your purchase.

The properties of foam rubber are known to everyone:

  1. Bacteria do not grow in it.
  2. Hypoallergenic.

Its direct purpose is to distribute a uniform load over the entire surface, with the exception of the crotch zone. If another material is used as a filler, then pay attention to its qualities such as wear resistance and shape stability - when pressed, it should take its previous shape. In addition, the material should not crumble over time.

Among other features of foam rubber, we note:

  • Durability. Such a product must be used constantly, therefore the material from which the outer part of the pillow is made must be quite strong and withstand heavy loads.
  • Moisture resistance. If water suddenly gets inside the structure, then the filler can simply collapse and lose its properties.
  • Aesthetics of the product. The product should be soft and beautiful. For decorative pillows, it is important that the fabric from which it is made is thin and comfortable to sit on.
  • The size. A universal pillow suitable for all family members.
