What is a viscoelastic pillow? What are its properties?

Viscoelastic pillows are made from a special material developed by NASA, also known as memory foam. This material reacts to body temperature and weight, adapting to the shape of the head and neck, keeping the spine in natural alignment and ensuring a comfortable sleep experience.

Properties of Visco pillows:

  1. Memory effect (adhesive effect)
    It remembers your body shape and reduces pressure points. It supports your head, neck, and shoulders, preventing pain.

  2. Orthopedic support
    Helps correct spinal curvature. Especially ideal for neck problems, spinal stiffness, or back pain.

  3. Pressure sensitivity
    It slowly yields to pressure and returns to its original shape once the pressure is released. This provides stable and comfortable support at night.

  4. Hypoallergenic (allergy friendly)
    Resistant to dust mites and bacteria. Ensures a hygienic sleeping environment, ideal for allergy sufferers.

  5. Temperature dependent
    It softens with body heat, making it more comfortable. It's firmer in cold environments and softer in warm environments.

  6. Quiet and stable
    Makes no noise when moving. Retains its shape and doesn't disturb during the night.

🎯 Who is it suitable for?

  • People with neck pain

  • People with back and shoulder problems

  • Those who sleep comfortably on neither hard nor soft pillows

  • People who wake up tired in the morning

  • Side and back sleepers

❗️ What should you pay attention to?

  • Not all viscoelastic pillows are the same; products with higher density are of better quality.

  • For people who sweat, models with good air permeability should be chosen.

  • Some viscoelastic pillows are not machine washable; only the cover can be washed.

📌 Conclusion
A viscoelastic pillow provides optimal support for the head and neck during sleep, ensuring comfortable sleep and a healthy spinal posture. A viscoelastic pillow is a worthwhile long-term investment, especially for people with orthopedic needs or those who value high-quality sleep.
