Pillow rubber flakes

This pillow is particularly elastic and adaptable: It is filled with natural rubber flakes that can be flexibly distributed in the cover. At the same time, they are dimensionally stable and therefore supportive, yet elastic enough to provide a pleasantly soft surface to lie on. The resulting point elasticity of the pillow is particularly important for side and back sleepers, as it supports the spine-friendly positioning of the head and neck. The cover has a zipper so that you can also adjust the filling level perfectly to your individual circumstances. This allows you to completely remove the rubber flakes and wash the cover.

Organic cotton is used for the easy-care, skin-friendly satin cover. It is also quilted with cotton (also organic), making it pleasantly soft and able to absorb moisture well. The natural rubber flakes are obtained from latex, the latex sap of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Unlike synthetic, petroleum-based rubber, natural rubber can break down under the influence of sun, moisture and air and degrade naturally. It can also be produced in a way that conserves resources and under fair working conditions: The rubber flakes used for this pillow are certified

Natural rubber is a permanently elastic material that is obtained from the latex of rubber trees. Natural latex has many advantages over synthetic latex (which is obtained from crude oil). For example, rubber trees can store a lot of carbon dioxide - many times more than other tropical trees (especially those grown for timber production). However, it is important in cultivation that the plantations are kept small and no large-scale monocultures are created. This reduces the use of pesticides, reduces soil erosion and preserves biodiversity. Ideally, rubber trees are combined with other tree species when cultivated on plantations - this allows the plants to benefit in several ways. After all, small plantations provide a livelihood for many small farmers.
