F.A.Q.’s

Many factors influence which pillow and mattress is right for you. Technogel offers general recommendations for pillows based on tests that evaluate ergonomic
suitability for various body types and sleeping positions.

The best way to determine which mattress is best for you is to rest-test it. We
recommend visiting a retail store near you and taking your time to experience the bed in a way that is as similar as possible to sleeping on it every night. All technogel
sleeping mattresses offer the benefits of the technogel material and are designed to provide the luxury of soft comfort combined with superior support. The model of technogel mattress that is best for you depends significantly on your needs and/or preference for a softer or firmer feel.

Because everyone is unique, we cannot suggest one model will definitely be perfect for you. Please utilize the information on the product sections of our website as well as the knowledge of the sales associate at your local technogel retailer to decide which model you should purchase.

Technogel is a unique patented “soft solid” gel that blends the adaptability of a fluid with the durability of a solid. During the production process, technogel is molded to a thin polyurethane film that forms the gel’s soft, hygienic surface. In the event that this film layer is punctured, the gel is solid enough that it will not leak or spread. Very small tears may go unnoticed; in the event of a large rip, the only perceivable
difference will be stickiness in the damaged area.

Technogel is the only soft gel on the market made without plasticizer oils, and it is completely safe for the skin; it is non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, odorless and certified biocompatible. Additionally, we use hypo-allergenic textiles to cover all technogel sleeping products.

The refreshing, cool feeling that makes technogel popular and helps you to sleep
better is the result of the gel material’s intrinsic thermal conductivity that favors heat dispersion. Studies have shown that this thermal conductivity can lower the surface temperature of your skin by as much as 4°f, which helps support deep sleep. This means that technogel is interacting with heat emitted from your body to help prevent you from waking too hot and sweaty during the course of the night.

It is also important to understand that technogel’s thermal properties are a direct
response to the environment around it, meaning that it will feel more or less cool when you first lay down depending on conditions like the air temperature in your room. Additionally, it responds to your individual heat level to achieve a balance between the temperature of the material and your body, which helps support thermal conditions that are more pleasant for sleeping.

If you want to heighten or reduce the cooling effect of the gel, some other factors to consider are using the “winter” cover that comes with the pillow, using breathable (wool) blankets, and adjusting the temperature of the room between 68-73°f so that it’s most comfortable for you.

It is recommended to always use a pillowcase on your pillow.

All technogel sleeping pillows come with a soft, “winter cover” that can be removed to increase the feeling of the gel and/or to wash it periodically. The removable “winter cover” may be washed in your washing machine in cool water (no bleach) and line dry is recommended; please refer to the tag on the cover for complete care instructions.

The internal jersey cover is sewn on for added protection, and should not be
removed. Please note that tampering with this inner cover will void your warranty.

We recommend you use a mattress protector between your bed sheets and your technogel mattress. If you opt to use a mattress protector, it’s optimal to get one that is thin and pliable to preserve the maximum benefits of sleeping on technogel (like protect-a-bed).

We also suggest using bed linens on your mattress and pillows. Most sheets sold on the market should fit the twinxl, queen and king sizes accordingly. Any brand you prefer is fine; sheex is a special performance linen that we have found to help
enhance the thermal regulatory properties of the technogel while also maintaining
the feeling of technogel.

Please contact the retailer where you purchased your technogel sleeping pillow to request a replacement cover for instances when the zipper breaks.

Technogel is the only gel on the market made without plasticizer oils; it is non-toxic, hypo-allergenic and odorless.

While the gel material will not emit odors from offgassing, the foam used in technogel sleeping products may release a mild odor that can be addressed by
leaving the product uncovered in a well-ventilated room for a day or two.

There are many reasons to buy a vita talalay. All benefits are linked to the open, round cell structure, that makes you sleep fresh and with a lifting comfort.

For all brands on our website, you can be sure you bought a mattress, topper our
pillow with vita talalay inside.

We want to give people around the world the opportunity to sleep healthy by creating the a natural product and embracing a healthy environment for the best night’s rest. We are of the opinion that talalaly latex must be made in the way the inventor joseph talalay intended it. This means using the pure sap of the hevea brasiliensis tree without adding unnecessary additives that do not contribute to the quality of the product. We believe that vita talalay® offers the best ventilating and comfortable sleeping experience due to it’s millions of round open cells. Premium beds only need vita talalay®. The best proof is provided by the bed-makers themselves: they usually also sleep on vita talalay®, so why not the consumer?

Yes, it is. Looking at the end result the product is most of the time even more natural, but as long as there are no artificial additives or fillers used you will usually get to an end result of more than 95% natural. Look for the eco-institut certification with latex that analyses a product to be made out of pure natural latex.
There are companies and retailers that call products with 85% natural latex already a natural product. We don’t do that. It has to be as pure as possible. We guarantee.

Yes definitely. There are many good ecological reasons preferring vita talalay over any other comfort material

For somebody with latex allergy, vita talalay is safe. We have never received any feedback from consumers with regards to latex allergy linked to the proteins that cause the allergy. The reason is that the proteins are washed out during the
production process and the latex is tucked in the mattress.
For people with dust mite allergy, vita talalay brings an added benefit as the talalay process makes such an airy product that it gives no ground for dust mites to live in.

Yes, they are. If they are reclaimed by the mattress retailer or given to a recycling point, the latex can be reused for underfloor or insulation.

Vita talalay is used being part of many mattresses, toppers, and pillows. It is tested to be more durable than memory foam or dunlop latex. However the brands we use to decide on the warranty terms they can offer. In general bedding brands love talalay because they get very little complaints on durability exceeding the recommended consumer replacement times of a pillow (3 years) or mattress (7 years) by far.

All vita talalay products have been washed well with pure, clear water, that is only used one single time, washing out soaps and left over proteins.
Comparisons (analysis) with other latex suppliers have shown that our washing
process is very thorough.

We have several certifications: all our products are oekotex 100 class 1 certified;
natural vita talalay has the cradle to cradle gold and the eco-institut certification. All certifications show that our products are safe. For the uk we have the fira certificate, showing that the natural vita talalay fr is fireretardant according to uk legislation.

Natural vita talalay is made with pure natural latex. In the production process we need a “vulcanization paste” that helps in the baking process. In the end result 97% is natural latex and the other 3% are natural remnants of the production process. The washing process washes out proteins and soaps used during the process.

Yes! There are many ecological reasons for vita talalay® preference over any other comfort material.

Yes, you do. Tests show that the resistance to the heat (and moisture, which is
produced by the human heat, which can sweat) with talalay is much less than with
memory foam. See also the illustration below where talalay compared with memory foam.
Test by custom8 2013.
This shows that the vertical penetration much less (in cm) in the latex of heat and humidity is compared to a generally-known memory foam.

Vita talalay® is absolutely non-allergenic, all products meet the ökotex 100 class I standard. This means that our products are also safe for babies. The washing
process of the vita talalay® method ensures that all proteins and soaps are washed out. People sometimes link the allergic reactions to latex gloves with latex beds, but the material can not be compared. Latex allergies are available in different forms. A very rare form is hypersensitivity to latex. In this case, the allergic reaction can be caused by exposure to particles in the air. These particles can be derived from
inexpensive unwashed latex. Frequent but still rare is the allergic reaction of the skin to latex, caused by long-term intensive contact with the skin. An allergic reaction may occur. Causes can be chemical substances in the latex or the protein in the
natural latex. Since the production start in 1961, radium foam has never heard that our products have caused an allergic reaction. There are various reasons for this. The high quality of the latex used. That each product is thoroughly rinsed and washed and that the residues of proteins and soap are removed. Or because there is no direct contact between the skin and talalay. But a reason may also be that vita talalay® products are oeko-tex standard 100 product class I certified, which means that they are free from harmful substances and even safe for the baby’s skin. But also because vita talalay® is permeable, which means a lower accumulation of dust mites and fungus. Much more often people are sensitive to house dust mites or have an asthma allergy. That is why vita talalay® is recommended to people who are prone to allergies.
