It is produced by combining the obtained special liquid with elastic material with NASA approved molecule exchange technology and is made of OEKO-TEX CLASS 1 certified material.Thanks to the gel material on the pillow surface, the surface temperature is reduced from 37°C to 24°C in about 10 seconds. It gives a feeling of coolness with its thermal conductivity feature.
