About Whale 0 Kussing
Whale 0 is 'n kussing wat gevorm is na die vaartbelynde liggaam van 'n walvis. Die geboë vorm ondersteun die kop, gesig en nek, en dit pas aan by rug-, sy- en maagslaapposisies. Die kussing is gemaak van koolstofdioksied-poliool en bio-plantaardige olie-poliole, wat die gebruik van fossielbrandstowwe verminder en bioafbreekbaarheid verbeter. 'n Volledig watergeblaasde skuimproses word gebruik om die skuim te vervaardig. Die materiaal is hidrofilies, sodat die oppervlak droog en asemhalend bly. Die walvisvorm is bedoel om 'n kalm gevoel van vrede en veiligheid na die slaapkamer te bring.
