What Are Microbead Pillows Made of?

Microbead pillows are designed for comfort and durability. Every feature of the pillow has a specific, functional purpose, when combined creates a superb and extremely restful sleeping experience.

Surrounding the millions of microbeads that make up the majority of the pillow, is the pillow cover. These are most commonly made from lycra or spandex-like materials. They are light, and facilitate good airflow as well.

They are also stretchy enough to conform to a person’s head while sleeping, yet firm enough to keep their neck from bending into uncomfortable positions.

More high quality microbead pillows often have two sides: one side plush cotton polyester for a more firm sleeping experience, and the other side flexible spandex for a softer, cushier sleeping experience.

The Dreamer Evolution(TM) perfected by Snooztime is a perfect example of double-sided comfort. Combined comfort and breath ability is imperative to a great night’s rest, and this is precisely what most high quality microbead pillows offer.

However, it is not only the covering of these pillows that make their comfort rival all others, it is what fills them that makes the biggest difference.

Inside all microbead pillows are, well, microbeads obviously. Each pillow contains millions of microbeads, which are incredibly tiny in order to ensure the maximum ability to conform to the user’s head and neck movements throughout the night.

Microbeads are most commonly made from polystyrene (a Styrofoam-like substance). This is incredibly superior for preventing pests such as moths, which prefer to enjoy a feast of cotton and down as opposed to Styrofoam pellets. Unlike down and memory foam pillows, they never compress and are always ready to support as well.

Also, because they are tiny balls, they have the ability to move past one another easily, facilitating superb airflow, which helps with keeping cool and preventing allergens from appearing and spreading.

Certain, often higher quality brands incorporate extra features into their pillows in order to make one’s sleeping experience even better. Snooztime pillows are also filled with nanofibers alongside of the micro beads in order to create additional height and firmness for better support.

Certain high quality companies such as Snooztime also use special microbeads that are more slippery and bacteriostatic which help with conforming to the head and neck as well as warding off dangerous allergens and dust mites.

Each component of a microbead pillow perform a certain task, and every component working together creates the best opportunity for a restful night and a comfortable morning.
