Advantages and Origin of Eelgrass

Rubberised eel grass offers a maximum of air permeability, handy and light weight; rustle when moving. elgrass (Zostera marina) provides a cosy comfortable feeling, maybe like only be provided from a wild grown, vegetable primitive material. It takes a surprisingly mild and pleasant pressure-relieving effect and has very good sleeping climatic characteristics (warm and airy). Due to the rubber impregnation the crimped structure of seaweed is stabilized. So, the fillings remain particularly in a good shape. They get more bounce and air permeability.

For speltex® seaweed sorts of excellent quality are used. It comes from the Baltic Sea and is dried in the sun and wind. It is hand-picked, impregnated with natural rubber milk, dried, and finally heated. This makes eelgrass extremely durable, dust-free, and ideal for use as a cushioning material. Rubberised eelgrass weighs just over half as much as high-quality spelt husks filling for the same volume of filling.

Eelgrass has been used for centuries for roofing and as an upholstery material. Lately it is used again for insulation. It has an extended durabilty, is resistant to mold and vermin and non-flammable.

Lifespan: The durability of the rubberised filling materials allows a use for at least ten years or more (depending on the intensity of use). For reasons of hygiene, it can be useful to replace the filling at shorter intervals. You can do this by yourself or ask your dealer to send it to us. The fillings can also be emptied and composted.

Allergy sufferer: The absence of dust rubberised eelgrass means a significant reduction in the risk of allergies for many sensitive users. Only in the case of high-grade latex sensitisation the knee pillow filled with rubber is not recommended for use.

Washing
