Orthex

The alliance between Bamboo and Viscose is complementary: the thermoregulatory effect of the Bamboo knit counterbalances the reaction of the Viscoelastic foam to changes in temperature. Therefore, the cover’s elasticity blends in well with the foam’s cosiness. Furthermore, the qualities of the cushion’s components are reinforced by a strict manufacturing process, premium quality raw material and constant quality control.

Bamboo

Bamboo-Viscose knit, a novelty on the market, is renowned for its many advantages. Its silky texture provides for exceptional softness. This natural fiber, antibacterial and antifungal, is ideal for people suffering from allergies. Furthermore, the Bamboo’s permeability (four times greater than cotton) and its breathability ensure a constant balance between temperature and humidity levels. This way, the comfort is maximised no matter the season. Already known as a long-lasting fiber, the manufacturing of our knit also combines the durability of Polyester to reinforce its longevity. The environmentally friendly manufacturing process conforms to the values of Orthex.

Viscoelastic foam

Initially developed by NASA to minimize pressure during take-off, this foam has many unusual features. Soon adopted by the medical industry for its multiple therapeutic advantages, Viscose foam evenly redistributes pressure and stimulates blood circulation. Often referred to as “memory foam” because of its slow rebound, it blends with the body curves while ensuring adequate support. This feature is caused by the absorption of the body heat by the foam which then becomes more flexible. Orthex’s viscose, an open cell foam made of soya, is also environmentally friendly. Each cushion has a density and a thickness specific to its function. Thus Orthex can maintain the balance it always seeks between comfort and support.
