Not all of us have a positive attitude to the term "synthetics" used in the context of describing sleep accessories. And even the fact that the natural contents of the pillows often cause allergies and an unpleasant neighborhood with a house dust mite, very few people are confused. By force of habit, we purchase home textiles marked - 100% natural product, although we have to pay extra for this.

It's a shame when the reason for abandoning cheaper artificial materials in favor of expensive natural materials is only one's own prejudice to everything "unreal" as harmful to health. The latest generation of synthetic fillers has repeatedly proved that it can not only fully replace wool, feather or down, but also surpass them in many respects.

One of these materials - synthetic winterizer - is an improved version of synthetic batting.

We will discuss in more detail the synthetic winterizer pillows, find out how to care for them and analyze the reviews about the synthetic winterizer filling.

About the material

Sintepon is the very first and most widespread representative of new generation synthetic materials. This is a bulky non-woven fabric, which is made of hollow polyester fibers, which are thermally bonded. The fibrous web is then treated with silicone and antibacterial compounds to improve product performance.

Harm and benefit

In conditions of a high pace of life, the convenience and practicality of the things that surround us acquire special value. Pillows with padding polyester are fully consistent with the listed qualities.

Positive traits

Positive aspects of padding polyester pillows:

  • Hypoallergenic. Products made of polyester fibers are distinguished by the complete absence of a nutrient medium that attracts pathogenic microorganisms, putrefactive fungi, mold and skin parasites. This minimizes the risk of developing adverse reactions and exacerbation of symptoms of upper respiratory tract diseases.
  • Hygienic. The immunity of the padding polyester to foreign odors and dust allows you to keep the sleeping place clean.
  • Environmentally friendly. In the production process, the use of toxic adhesives is excluded. Thermopolymer fiber bonding technology has been successfully certified.
  • Elastic. Increased elasticity is a distinctive feature of any synthetic filler, and synthetic winterizer is no exception. It has excellent spring properties and is not in danger of losing its shape due to active use.
  • Moisture resistant. Siliconized fibers are designed for repeated washing and retain their original properties after contact with water. Silicone limits the access of moisture to the inside of the fibers, which accelerates the evaporation of the liquid after washing.
  • Breathable. Hollow fibers allow unhindered air circulation. When the pillow "breathes", it quickly evaporates moisture, does not turn into a dust collector and prevents the retention of foreign odors.
  • They have the ability to thermoregulate. Air-channeled fibers adapt to the existing temperature conditions. Regardless of the season, they provide a comfortable temperature during sleep: they warm in winter, and in summer, on the contrary, prevent overheating.
  • Bulky, but lightweight. For example, a product with a width of 60x60 cm has a weight of only 0.5 kg.
  • Unpretentious in service. NSSince the synthetic winterizer is not afraid of water, the products made from it are allowed to machine wash.
  • Are inexpensive. Moreover, not only in comparison with analogs with natural filling, but also with products from other varieties of padding polyester - padding polyester (komereli), holofiber and ecofiber.

In addition, light and airy sleep accessories are indispensable on the road. Their minimal weight makes them the ideal travel companion, allowing you to maintain your usual comfort level. For comparison, a cotton pad weighs twice as much.

A pillow with padding polyester filler is also useful for those who, by the nature of their professional activities, are often on duty at night. In such conditions, the quality of sleep is especially important, albeit in fits and starts. In a short period, the body must recover and gain strength, and without relaxing the neck muscles, this is problematic.

Negative sides

Against the background of an impressive list of advantages, the disadvantages of sintepon filling are much less. The most common arguments against buying synthetic winterizer pillows:

  • The products are extremely soft, which means that there can be no question of any stable support of the cervical spine.
  • They provoke an exacerbation of pain in osteochondrosis, protrusion of intervertebral discs and intervertebral hernia for the reason indicated above.
  • They are short-lived. Sintepon pillows tend to fall off and lose their original attractiveness after a year of operation, requiring replacement with a new one. Which is not critical for the budget, since their price is more than affordable.
  • The filler is electrified. Washing with antistatic agents solves the problem, and a cover made of natural material reduces the static effect.
  • Unnatural: For many people, synthetics are synonymous with a refined product, and therefore a source of potential health hazard.

Care

Despite the fact that ease of care appears among the advantages of padding polyester pillows, there are several rules that should be followed.

Important:

  • Whisk and turn bedding every morning to prevent the filler from falling off prematurely.
  • In the morning, wait for the blanket and pillows to be ventilated, and then start cleaning the sleeping place.
  • Control the humidity in the room, the rate is up to 65%.
  • Wash the pillows, taking into account the recommendations of the manufacturer.

Washing

When planning a wash, first check the product by placing a book on it. A quick leveling of the surface is a good sign: the pillow can continue to be used. The remaining dent testifies to the loss of its qualities by the padding polyester, so there is no longer any sense in washing.

So, keep in mind that:

  • It is allowed to carry out hand / machine wash, the frequency is a maximum of three times a year.
  • Pre-soaking is undesirable.
  • When washing, the water should be at a temperature of up to 40 ° C.
  • The use of an automatic machine is permissible only if the "delicate mode" program is set.
  • Ideally, the washing machine is loaded in half. If this is not possible, then at least two-thirds of the total capacity of the tank.
  • It is important to rinse the product thoroughly, at least 3 times. This must be done due to the structure of the hollow fibers.
  • The best options for detergents are non-corrosive and liquid. These include gels with delicate action, gentle formulations without chlorine and bleaching active ingredients that destroy the fiber structure.
  • You can wring out the product at 400-600 rpm, but you cannot dry it in the washing machine.
  • For drying, it is laid on a horizontal base in a ventilated place and regularly turned over, whipping and ensuring uniform drying.

The dried pillow must be shaken to distribute the fiber inside. An alternative care option is dry cleaning services, which are more expensive, but with a quality guarantee.

How to beat a padding polyester?

To reanimate an accessory with a lost padding polyester due to washing, choose one of the following methods:

  1. In a wet state, they are processed with a vacuum cleaner, trying to gently move the lumps of stray filler to the right places, where they will be distributed under the influence of the air flow.
  2. The product is ripped open to get to the stray mass and fluffed by hand: gradually and in small fragments. Then the pillow is re-stuffed. This is an extreme option.

In order to whip a padding polyester pad, which simply fell off as a result of prolonged use, you need to take it from the sides, squeeze and straighten it, as if tearing the filling.

How to choose?

When choosing an accessory for sleeping, do not hesitate to test your favorite model by lying on it to make sure that it suits you in terms of height, degree of springiness and shape. The height of the pillows is from 5 to 15 cm. Due to an incorrectly selected parameter, headaches can occur in the morning, the normal blood supply to the tissues is disrupted, and the muscles of the cervical spine become numb.

The ideal option is considered when the height of the product coincides with the width of the user's shoulder.

Pay attention to three points:

  • Sewing quality. High-quality seams represent a smooth, continuous stitch consisting of small and frequent stitches so that the filling will not spill out. Punctures on the material are unacceptable. If you tighten the area around the seam slightly, it should remain intact.
  • Cover material. The covers are mainly made of high-quality cotton. The best option: a pillow in a cover with a zipper, which simplifies the tasks of drying, cleaning, replacing the filler.
  • No unpleasant odor Is a prerequisite for all synthetic fillers. Since not every manufacturer is scrupulous about the quality of their products, the use of harmful materials is practiced in the manufacturing process. The presence of a pungent odor indicates the use of low-quality raw materials.

And the last thing. It is possible that sleeping on a new pillow will be accompanied by some discomfort for some time. Do not rush to conclusions about the unsuitability of the product. The body needs to adapt and get used to sleeping in new conditions. It usually takes a couple of nights.

Reviews

An analysis of the reviews showed that the padding polyester pillow is an ideal choice for those who prefer to sleep on their stomachs. This category of users is mostly satisfied with their purchase. There are no particular complaints from buyers for whom a comfortable sleep is a sleep on a soft pillow, so they deliberately chose a softer filler.

Of the advantages, the most often noted are problem-free care and cheapness. The latter, in the opinion of the majority, fully compensates for the fact that the products have to be changed frequently due to their fragility.

The padding polyester can be sewn with your own hands. How to do this, see the next video.
