Orthex

At Orthex, well-being is at the heart of our actions. Comfort and durability are the key-words of our company which develops, in collaboration with Health Specialists, innovative relaxation cushions. Optimizing body posture, our cushions are the product of carefully researched components and conform to Orthex’s driving values.

Beginnings

It is while selling specialized beds that the idea was born. The growing preoccupation with sleep was evident. In fact, many people were interested in the benefits that relaxation can provide when properly postured. Responding to this growing need became our primary objective: to offer a simple, comfortable and accessible solution to improve well-being.
Thus commenced research and development. A therapeutic mission was to be respected on all points and for this reason the collaboration with health specialists and the quest for ideal components became significant success factors for Orthex. After several months of research, the first model was developed, originally named Wedge Cushion, and was officially at the start of this new trend.

Evolution

Available at many retailers, the benefits of the Wedge Cushion were being noticed. For sleep as for leisure, it became evident that its specialized shape offered many advantages: support and comfort, enhanced breathing and digestion. Adhering to the same recipe, combining comfort and durability, a wedge cushion was marketed. Nowadays called Symbia 18° and 23°, these popular cushions symbolize Orthex’s new image. An innovative, comfortable and sensitive image that reflects well-being.
With a distribution network that covers the entire province of Quebec, in the medical field as much as in the commercial field, Orthex had to move to a bigger place in order to satisfy the growing demand. So it’s in bigger and more moderns premises that the development continues.

Continuity

Following the success of the first Symbias, the wedge cushions 18° and 23°, Orthex continues to innovate and launches the Symbias 08° and 03", two cushions specially designed for the legs. The unique shape and dimension of the Symbias accord with the evolution of the consumers needs. The Symbias are now available in approximately 150 retail outlets and these innovative cushions are in big demand.
Either in its medical field or in the general public market, the company’s objective is to maintain an outstanding satisfaction level. Therefore, it is with the collaboration of health specialists, professional expertise, quality components and a special attention to the evolution of the population’s needs that Orthex defines its mission.
