The Design

About Whale 0 Polštář

Whale 0 je polštář tvarovaný podle aerodynamického těla velryby. Zakřivený tvar podpírá hlavu, obličej a krk a přizpůsobuje se spánkovým polohám na zádech, na boku i na břiše. Polštář je vyroben z polyolu na bázi oxidu uhličitého a bio polyolů z rostlinných olejů, které snižují využívání fosilních paliv a zlepšují biologickou rozložitelnost. K výrobě pěny se používá proces plně vodou nadouvaného pěnění. Materiál je hydrofilní, takže povrch zůstává suchý a prodyšný. Tvar velryby má do ložnice přinést klidný pocit míru a bezpečí.
