Super excited to be working with Technogel again! If you missed my first review with them, I will recap for you. Technogel is a line of AMAZING products. Their pillows are out of this world. I am sure that most people have only dreamed about a pillow this awesome (no pun intended LOL).
A little info about Technogel:
The history of Technogel® started in 1990 with the Royal Medica establishment. At that time, Bayer Material Science used a special "gel" to produce small batches of anti-decubitus cushions for long-stay patients. Royal Medica, founded by Massimo Losio out of the Selle Royal Group, immediately understood the potential of the gel material and together with the expertise of the “Istituto di Bioingegneria del Politecnico di Milano” (Milan Polytechnic Bio-engineering Institute) designed an anti-decubitus cushion with special geometric features that maximized the gel elasto-mechanical properties. In a short period of time, the company released a complete range of wheelchair cushions, operating theatres and various supports for disabled people. Royal Medica became a well known producer in the medical and gel industry. Following its success in the medical field, in 1997 the company decided to broaden its application range of gel comfort products to other industries connected with seating. For this reason Royal Medical started to work for the office furniture market, producting seat cushions, armrests and ergonomic accessories for personal computers. The diversification plan followed then with the walking/shoes industry, producing inserts and insoles for footwear manufacturers.
In 1998, Royal Medica started a joint-venture with Otto Bock GmbH, which the two companies called "Technogel®", the namesake of the gel material originally developed by Bayer Material Science. Through further research, and thanks to the expertise of Otto Bock technicians, Technogel®'s benefits considerably improved, offering new functions such as reduced weight, transparency, colours... In the meantime, while maintaining the constant mission of "making your world more comfortable", Technogel® has developed applications in other fields, such as industrial components for vibration dampening, automotive parts, bike seats, mattresses and pillows. The gorundbreaking application of Technogel to bedding products, has developed a new company division, called Technogel Sleeping, that is producting and distributing with its own brand, high-end mattresses and pillows all around the world. Technogel® is also become a very well-known material in architecture, design, and art. Architects, Designers, and Artists, fascinated by Technogel's peculiar elastic properties, have chosen to use it to convey symbolic contents and emerging values of new lifestyles in original arrangements. Technogel® products have so far been displayed at important events and venues, such as the MoMa Museum of Modern Art (New York), Triennale (Milan), Fuorisalone (Milan), International Motorshow of Geneve and Tokio and others.
This time I got to review the Technogel Travel Pillow.
This little pillow is just as awesome as the larger ones, but much more convenient. When it came in the mail my daughter said "Look Mommy! It's a pillow just like yours but in MY SIZE!!!" She loves it LOL. It has stayed on her bed since we got it. It is made just like the larger ones with the memory foam and the cooling gel layer. The cooling gel is so awesome! I know a ton of people who are always talking about flipping their pillows over to get to the cold side, and with Technogel you don't have to!
You can also check them out and "Like" them on Facebook!!!!!!

It's known in scientific literature, that a decrease in skin temperature reduces the metabolism activity and, therefore, the demand of oxygen from tissues, generating perceivable benefits exactly in the areas already suffering for poor circulation due to pressure.

I learn that tests and academic studies have shown that with Technogel technology you can increase your sleep quality, given that the total sleep time and the time spent in deep sleep (SWS) increase, while the wake during sleep period (WASO) decreases in those nights. Given my sleeping problems and the chronic neck and should pain I wake up with - I would love to try this pillow ASAP!
