The mechanism behind Derila Pillow

The uniqueness of the Derila pillow lies in its memory foam. Memory foam is made of Viscoelastic polyurethane foam. This material was developed by NASA in 1960 to provide cushion for astronauts during takeoff and reentry. Over the years, independent labs have been able to improve the design and create a memory foam available to the general masses.

So, how does Derila Memory Foam Pillow work?

When pressure is applied to memory foam, it deforms and contours itself as per the pressure points. Unlike regular pillows, it doesn’t bounce back immediately. It takes time to bounce back. Allowing for heat dissipation and shock absorption. It is elastic, so it does regain its original shape. Memory foam is temperature and pressure-sensitive. Your body heat helps get the perfect contour of the head and neck. The open cell structure allows for breathability and slow recovery. Memory foam in the Derila pillow is dense; it does not collect dust, pollen, or mites. Keeping it clean and hypoallergenic.
