Description
A Classic Pillow Shape, Fundamentally Reimagined
The Technogel Deluxe Pillow takes the familiar rectangular pillow form and rebuilds it from the inside out — combining patented Technogel® cube technology with an Italian water-based memory foam core to create a pillow that actively cools, precisely adapts, and maintains correct cervical spine alignment simultaneously. It is the ideal pillow for those who want the comfort of a classic pillow shape with the performance of advanced sleep engineering.

Technogel® Cube Design — Active Cooling at the Surface
The defining feature of the Deluxe is its Technogel® cube surface layer — the same patented gel technology used across Technogel’s mattress range, applied to the pillow sleeping surface.
The gel layer consists of individual cube-shaped towers of Technogel® material that deform in three dimensions under the weight of the head — distributing pressure evenly across the contact surface and eliminating the concentration of pressure at the back of the skull and the sides of the neck that standard foam pillows create.
Crucially, Technogel® is a material with intrinsically high heat capacity — it absorbs heat from the head significantly faster than foam and draws it away continuously. The cube design incorporates patented vertical air channels between each tower, promoting active airflow through the gel layer throughout the night. Together, the gel’s heat absorption and the air channels’ ventilation create a sleeping surface that stays measurably cooler than either standard foam or gel-infused foam alternatives — not just at the moment of contact, but continuously.
Italian Water-Based Memory Foam Core
Beneath the Technogel® surface, the Deluxe uses a premium Italian water-based memory foam core — a meaningfully different material from standard petroleum-based memory foam.
Water-based memory foam production uses water rather than chemical solvents in the manufacturing process — resulting in a foam that is odourless, non-toxic, and free from the off-gassing that new conventional memory foam often produces. The foam provides exceptional pressure relief and ergonomic cervical spine alignment — adapting to the exact profile of the head and neck to maintain correct posture throughout the night regardless of sleeping position.
HyCare® Antibacterial Cover System
The pillow’s removable cover is made of an innovative HyCare® hygiene textile that is antibacterial, incredibly soft, and easy to care for. Both the inner and outer covers carry an antibacterial finish — recognising that facial hygiene and pillow hygiene are directly connected. The outer cover features a zip for easy removal and machine washing.
Four Heights — Low, Medium, High, High King
The Deluxe is available in four heights to match different body types and sleeping positions:
- Low — 9cm — suited to smaller body types, stomach sleepers, and back sleepers who prefer a lower pillow profile
- Medium — 11cm — suited to average body types, back sleepers, and side sleepers with standard shoulder width
- High — 14cm — suited to larger body types, broad-shouldered sleepers, and side sleepers who need more height to maintain lateral spinal alignment
- High King — 14cm (83cm wide) — the same height as High but in a wider format, suited to those who prefer more surface area or use a larger pillow case

FAQ:
Q: How does the Technogel® cube design cool the pillow and is it genuinely different from a “cooling” foam pillow?
Yes — the Technogel® cube design cools in a fundamentally different way from a standard cooling foam pillow, and the distinction is worth understanding clearly.
Standard cooling foam pillows use one of two approaches: gel-infused foam (gel beads or swirls mixed into standard foam) or a breathable open-cell foam structure. Both approaches passively allow heat to dissipate — they slow heat build-up but do not actively remove it. After a few hours of use, most cooling foam pillows reach thermal equilibrium with the head and begin to feel warm.
Technogel® is a semi-solid gel with intrinsically high heat capacity — it absorbs heat significantly faster than foam and at a higher volume before reaching saturation. The cube design places individual gel towers directly at the skin contact surface, maximising the contact area between the gel and the face. The patented vertical air channels between the towers provide active airflow through the gel layer throughout the night — continuously removing the heat the gel has absorbed and refreshing the cooling cycle. This combination of active heat absorption and active ventilation maintains a genuinely cooler sleeping surface throughout the full night rather than only at the beginning.
Which height should I choose — Low, Medium, High or High King?
The right height depends on your body size, shoulder width, and primary sleeping position — and choosing correctly is one of the most important decisions for cervical spine comfort.
Low (9cm) — suits those who need minimal height to prevent the neck from being forced into an upward angle – back sleepers with a smaller frame or those who naturally prefer a flatter pillow profile.
Medium (11cm) suits most back sleepers and side sleepers with average shoulder width. The pillow should bridge the gap between the side of the head and the shoulder when lying on your side, keeping the cervical spine level with the rest of the spine.
High (14cm) suits larger-framed sleepers and side sleepers with broader shoulders — who need more height to maintain correct lateral spinal alignment without the head tilting downward.
High King (14cm, 83cm wide) offers the same support as the High but in a wider format — suited to those who prefer more pillow surface area or who move around during the night and want a larger resting area.
A practical guide: if your shoulder width is approximately average, start with Medium. If you sleep primarily on your side and are broad-shouldered, consider High. If you are unsure, Sleep Gallery’s home pillow trial allows you to test your chosen height in your own bed before committing. Call 596 14 99 77 to arrange your trial.

Q: What is water-based memory foam and why does it matter?
Water-based memory foam refers to the manufacturing process — specifically, the use of water rather than chemical solvents during the foaming process.
Standard petroleum-based memory foam uses chemical blowing agents in production. These can leave residual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the foam — responsible for the characteristic “new foam” smell that many people notice when opening a new foam pillow or mattress. While these compounds typically dissipate within days to weeks, they are a legitimate concern for chemically sensitive individuals and for a product in immediate contact with the face and airways during sleep.
Water-based memory foam eliminates this issue entirely — the process produces a foam that is genuinely odourless from the first night. It also tends to be softer and more responsive than equivalent standard foams, with a more natural tactile quality. For a pillow that is centimetres from your nose and mouth every night, the absence of chemical off-gassing is a meaningful health and comfort advantage.
Q: Is the Technogel Deluxe Pillow suitable for allergy sufferers?
Yes — the Technogel Deluxe is well suited to allergy sufferers for several specific reasons.
The Italian water-based memory foam core is non-toxic and hypoallergenic — it does not contain the chemical residues that can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. The Technogel® gel layer is odourless, non-toxic, and biocompatible — the same material profile used in Technogel’s medically tested mattress range.
The HyCare® cover system carries an antibacterial finish on both inner and outer layers — inhibiting bacterial growth on the pillow surface, which is directly relevant to skin health and respiratory hygiene. The removable outer cover washes easily, allowing regular hygiene maintenance at the surface where allergen accumulation is most significant.
For dust mite allergy sufferers specifically, the dense, non-fibrous structure of the gel and memory foam combination creates an environment that is less hospitable to dust mite colonisation than fibrous natural fills such as down or wool.

Q: The Technogel Deluxe Pillow costs more than standard foam pillows — what justifies the price?
The price reflects three specific and verifiable distinctions from a standard foam pillow.
First, the Technogel® surface layer: manufacturing a patented semi-solid gel with cube-tower architecture and integrated vertical air channels — in a material with intrinsically high heat capacity that actively cools rather than passively permits heat to dissipate — is substantially more expensive than producing standard foam or gel-infused foam. This is not a coating or an additive — it is a precision-engineered material layer that performs a specific cooling and pressure-distribution function.
Second, the Italian water-based memory foam core: production using water-based rather than chemical-solvent processes is a cleaner and more expensive manufacturing method, producing a genuinely odourless, non-toxic foam of premium quality.
Third, the HyCare® antibacterial cover system: a dual-layer antibacterial hygiene textile with removable, washable outer cover is a higher-specification hygiene solution than the single fabric covers used on standard foam pillows.
Together, these three components create a pillow whose cooling, pressure relief, cervical alignment, and hygiene properties are all meaningfully superior to what standard foam alternatives provide. Add the home trial option that removes all risk from the purchase, and the Technogel Deluxe represents a genuinely well-justified investment in your nightly sleep comfort.
