The Filling makes it
The filling is perhaps the most important component of our pillows, it determines how well a pillow can be used for the respective purpose, but also breathability, durability, price and much more.As a true specialist for breastfeeding pillows, we offer you five different fillings to choose from. Each filling we offer has its own special advantages and areas of application, but some also have disadvantages that we don't want to hide from you. Our favourite is the original EPS micro bead (Ø 0.5-1.5 mm), which we would like to recommend to midwives for equipping their practice and course rooms, as well as to pregnant and breastfeeding women.
1. EPS beads
In our opinion, there is nothing better to fill pillows for pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is the best-selling and optimal filling material for good reasons. It is durable, hygienic, hypoallergenic and inexpensive. Excellent heat and moisture transport make it just as ideal as its special lightness and unrivalled adaptability and pressure distribution. Depending on the need and application, we offer it in three different qualities:
1a. EPS microbeads (ø 0.5 - 1.5 mm)
Low noise and fine sand / High durability
The finest filling 0.5 - 1.5 mm is as cuddly as sand and yet as light as feathers. Ideal for daily use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnant women in particular love this particularly quiet filling.
Material: 100% polystyrene
1b. EPS rehab beads (ø 01.5 - 2.5 mm)
Good breathability / Highest durability
The robust filling with a diameter of 1.5 - 2.5 mm has excellent adaptability, but is significantly heavier and somewhat coarser than the original microbeads. This improves the breathability, e.g. for long-term patient positioning, due to the larger gaps. The heavy filling also loses volume more slowly during heavy use, e.g. when changing bedding.
Material: 100% polystyrene
2. Polyester hollow fibre
Downy soft touch / Noiseless
Particularly high-quality hollow fibres for professional long-term use. The patented high-tech fibres have a downy, soft feel and are absolutely noise-free.
Material: 100% polyester
3. Thera-RHOMB
High point elastic adaptability/ Robust care properties
The combination of rhomboid polyurethane foam with EPP beads creates an ideal filling alternative. High point-elastic adaptability is combined here with robust care properties.
Material: polypropylene-polyurethane mixture
4. Thera-Flakes
Optimal supportive combination of softness and adaptability / Exclusively for our breastfeeding rolls
Many people already know our pearly Theraline heroes from our large pregnancy and breastfeeding pillows. To make the small, practical breastfeeding rolls softer and puffier, we add high-quality foam sticks to the microbeads. The result is a unique, optimally supportive combination of softness and adaptability. And, of course, 100% free of harmful substances.
Material: Polystyrene-polyurethane mixture
5. Spelt husk
Highest breathability / Good heat transport
Our pure natural filling is cleaned and heat-treated several times. You have to accept a somewhat higher level of care and a shorter lifespan of the filling in order to lie on real nature. Allergy sufferers should also only recommend this filling with reservations. However, special advantages are even better breathability and moisture absorption. The higher weight of spelt husk pillows can also be an advantage in many bedding applications.
Material: 100% spelt husk
Fillings for cold & heat pads:
6. Cherry pits
Cherry stones selected and cleaned without chemicals.
7. Rapeseeds
The particularly fine-grained rapeseed filling. Slightly heavier than the cherry stone filling. However, rapeseed keeps the temperature longer and moulds better to the body.
