This pillow is particularly elastic and adaptable: It is filled with natural rubber flakes that can be flexibly distributed in the cover. At the same time, they are dimensionally stable and therefore supportive, yet elastic enough to provide a pleasantly soft surface to lie on. The resulting point elasticity of the pillow is particularly important for side and back sleepers, as it supports the spine-friendly positioning of the head and neck. The cover has a zipper so that you can also adjust the filling level perfectly to your individual circumstances. This allows you to completely remove the rubber flakes and wash the cover.

Organic cotton is used for the easy-care, skin-friendly satin cover. It is also quilted with cotton (also organic), making it pleasantly soft and able to absorb moisture well. The natural rubber flakes are obtained from latex, the latex sap of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Unlike synthetic, petroleum-based rubber, natural rubber can break down under the influence of sun, moisture and air and degrade naturally. It can also be produced in a way that conserves resources and under fair working conditions: The rubber flakes used for this pillow are certified

Natural rubber is a permanently elastic material that is obtained from the latex of rubber trees. Natural latex has many advantages over synthetic latex (which is obtained from crude oil). For example, rubber trees can store a lot of carbon dioxide - many times more than other tropical trees (especially those grown for timber production). However, it is important in cultivation that the plantations are kept small and no large-scale monocultures are created. This reduces the use of pesticides, reduces soil erosion and preserves biodiversity. Ideally, rubber trees are combined with other tree species when cultivated on plantations - this allows the plants to benefit in several ways. After all, small plantations provide a livelihood for many small farmers.

Bedding made from certified natural materials, produced with respect for people and animals and carefully crafted by hand - this is what Prolana has stood for since 1987. The majority of production takes place on site at the company headquarters in Waldburg: from processing the supplied wool into fleece to making up the bedding and manufacturing the mattresses.

Whether virgin wool or yak hair, cotton, hemp or latex, whether mattresses, comforters and pillows or yoga accessories - for Managing Director Adrian Hellenthal, the credibility of the company stands and falls with the fact that words such as "ecological" and "fair" are not just lip service, but are filled with life through action. The raw materials come from controlled organic cultivation and controlled organic animal husbandry and carry certifications such as the Quality Association for Environmentally Compatible Latex Mattresses (QUL) or the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS). Prolana not only knows the production facilities, suppliers and people involved in the value chain personally, but also supports them through surcharges, local projects and new fair trade standards, some of which it has created itself. For example, Prolana played a key role in the founding of the Fair Rubber e.V. fair trade association.
So that not only Prolana customers sleep well, but also all employees.
