The test of the dream pillow from KNERST® shows excellent properties in various categories. The pillow impresses above all with its comfort: thanks to the robust and elastic duo hollow fiber filling, it offers a pleasant lying surface that retains its shape even after prolonged use and thus offers a consistently high level of comfort. Thanks to its breathable materials, the pillow also has a temperature-regulating effect and ensures a pleasant sleeping temperature even at higher temperatures.
In terms of support, the pillow offers optimum adjustment to the head and neck. The ergonomic shape and individual adjustment options ensure a relieving sleeping position that reduces tension and pressure points. The KNERST® pillow also meets the highest standards in terms of hygiene. The cover is made of 100% cotton and the materials used are skin-friendly, suitable for allergy sufferers and ensure a pleasant climate thanks to their moisture-regulating properties . For optimum cleanliness, the pillow can easily be washed in the washing machine at 40 degrees and then dried flat.
The size and shape of the pillow are perfectly tailored to the user’s needs. The pillow is available in two sizes (40×80cm or 80×80cm) and can therefore be adapted to personal sleeping habits and lying positions, which also increases comfort. The KNERST® pillow therefore not only offers a high level of sleeping comfort, but also optimum support and hygiene properties for a restful night’s sleep.
