Whale Pillow 0 ingeniously marries the latest breakthroughs in materials science with bionics, aiming to offer users an unprecedented sleeping experience and emotional fulfillment.

The product draws inspiration from whales swimming in the ocean, which, as a creature symbolizing peace and protection, promotes the carbon cycle of the ocean through carbon storage, and is a crucial guardian of the ocean’s ecological balance. Such a bionic whale-shaped design is expected to bring the vastness and tranquility of the ocean to the bedroom. Taking into account the streamlined body of whales, the pillow shape is further optimized: through meticulous adjustments to the shape, the product can flexibly adapt to various sleeping positions like sleeping on the stomach/back/side, etc., or serve as a soothing pillow, which perfectly fits and supports the head, face and neck, providing an optimal ergonomic solution to users.

Whale Pillow 0 strikes a perfect balance between environmental friendliness and practicality. In terms of material selection, carbon dioxide recycled from industrial emissions or fermentation processes is captured to produce eco-friendly carbon dioxide-based polyol, significantly reducing the dependence on fossil fuels. Its combination with bio-based vegetable oil-based polyols leads to a more natural and biodegradable product that boasts an average relative biodegradation rate of up to 82.15%. This ensures that the pillow will not cause environmental burden whether it is recycled or discarded. The natural plant extract, paired with the patented natural antibacterial and anti-mildew formula, effectively inhibits bacterial growth, safeguarding users’ health. Additionally, the fully water-blown foaming process allows for utmost comfort and even pressure distribution, contributing to a relaxing sleeping environment. A high porosity up to 95% enables a moisture balance system to maintain a constant temperature of 1.5℃ below the body surface, which effectively avoids stuffiness.
