Technogel® Tower Design — The Original Cooling Technology
The Pixel Deluxe uses Technogel®’s classic tower design — the original patented structure in which individual cylindrical gel towers cover the pillow surface and respond to the weight of the head.
Each tower deforms in three dimensions under pressure — distributing the weight of the head evenly across the surface and relieving pressure at the back of the skull and the sides of the neck. Unlike standard foam, which simply compresses, the Technogel® towers adapt individually to each contact point, providing targeted support precisely where it is needed while allowing natural movement throughout the night.
Technogel® has intrinsically high heat capacity — it absorbs heat from the head significantly faster than foam and draws it away continuously. The towers’ structure creates natural gaps between each element, promoting airflow across the gel surface. Patented top-to-bottom air tunnels enhance this further — channelling excess heat actively away from the pillow throughout the night.
A clinical study conducted by the Sleep Medicine Centre of the University of Turin demonstrated that the combination of Technogel®’s cooling effect and conforming pressure relief can support up to 45% more time in deep sleep and up to 35% fewer awakenings during the night — independently verified benefits that directly translate into waking feeling more rested and refreshed.
Premium Memory Foam Core
Beneath the Technogel® layer, the Pixel Deluxe uses a premium memory foam core — providing the deeper adaptive support that holds the head and neck in correct cervical alignment throughout the night. The memory foam adapts to the exact profile of the head and neck, stabilising the cervical spine regardless of sleeping position and preventing the gradual misalignment that causes neck tension and morning stiffness.
The combination of Technogel® towers above and memory foam below creates a two-layer support system where the gel handles surface cooling and pressure distribution and the foam provides structural cervical alignment — a pairing that neither material can achieve as effectively alone.
Antibacterial Cover & Hygiene
The Pixel Deluxe comes with an antibacterial inner cover that permanently protects the pillow’s core and ensures long-lasting freshness. The outer cover is removable via zip and machine washable — maintaining consistent hygiene at the surface where allergen accumulation is most significant. Both covers carry an antibacterial finish — reflecting Technogel®’s recognition that a pillow’s immediate proximity to the face makes hygiene a health matter, not just a comfort one.

FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between the Technogel Pixel Deluxe and the Technogel Original Deluxe — which one should I choose?
Both pillows use Technogel® material and memory foam and share the same fundamental benefits — cooling, pressure distribution, and cervical spine support. The key difference is in the gel layer design.
The Original Deluxe uses Technogel®’s newer cube design — individual square-profiled towers with integrated patented air channels, providing more precise three-dimensional pressure distribution and more active airflow between the gel elements. The cube structure is a more refined and technically advanced version of Technogel®’s gel architecture, designed to maximise both cooling efficiency and surface adaptability.
The Pixel Deluxe uses Technogel®’s classic tower design — the original cylindrical tower structure that established Technogel®’s reputation. It delivers the same core Technogel® benefits — heat absorption, pressure distribution, and patented air tunnel ventilation — in a slightly simpler gel architecture at a more accessible price point.
Both are excellent pillows. The Original Deluxe is the more technically refined option. The Pixel Deluxe is the right choice for those who want genuine Technogel® cooling and pressure relief in a classic design at a more accessible investment. If you are unsure, Sleep Gallery’s home pillow trial allows you to test either pillow in your own bed before committing.

Q: Is the Pixel Deluxe suitable for both back and side sleepers or better for one than the other?
The Pixel Deluxe is genuinely well-suited to both back and side sleepers — and this versatility is one of its defining characteristics.
For back sleepers: the Technogel® towers adapt to the shape of the back of the head while the memory foam core maintains the neck in a neutral position — preventing the head from dropping too far back or being pushed too far forward. The result is a stable, comfortable sleeping position that reduces the tension that poorly supported back sleeping causes.
For side sleepers: the Technogel® towers distribute the weight of the head across the contact surface, relieving concentrated pressure at the side of the skull and the ear. The memory foam beneath maintains the lateral height needed to keep the cervical spine level with the rest of the spine — preventing the head from dropping toward the shoulder.
The size you choose matters significantly for side sleepers — a taller size is generally needed to bridge the gap between head and shoulder. Our sleep experts at 596 14 99 77 are happy to help you choose the right size for your body type and sleeping position, and our home trial allows you to verify the choice in your own bed.
Q: Is the Technogel® material safe for direct skin contact — I have sensitive skin?
Yes — Technogel® is specifically designed and tested for direct skin contact and is one of the most hygiene-appropriate materials available in premium pillows.
Technogel® is a polyurethane gel manufactured without plasticizer oils — making it non-toxic, virtually odorless, and biocompatible. The same gel formulation is used in a range of medical applications where skin-contact safety is a primary requirement. It is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 — independently verified to be free from harmful substances at the level of direct skin contact.
The HyCare® antibacterial cover system on both inner and outer layers further protects sensitive skin from bacterial accumulation. For those with dust mite allergies specifically, the dense, non-fibrous gel and foam combination creates a significantly less hospitable environment for mite colonisation than natural fibre fills such as down.

Q: How do I care for the Pixel Deluxe and how long should it last?
The Pixel Deluxe is straightforward to maintain — the key rule is to wash only the outer cover, never the gel or foam core.
Remove the outer cover by unzipping it and machine wash following the care label guidance. Air dry where possible. The permanent inner cover is not removable but provides ongoing antibacterial protection between outer cover washes.
Never machine wash, soak, or submerge the Technogel® layer or the memory foam core — this causes irreversible damage. If the gel surface needs cleaning, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Air the pillow regularly in a well-ventilated space to maintain freshness.
Technogel® is permanently elastic — it does not harden, soften, or lose shape over time due to temperature changes or age. This is a key practical advantage over standard foam or gel-infused foam pillows, which progressively lose their support properties. With proper care, a Technogel pillow maintains its properties for significantly longer than standard alternatives.
Q: The Technogel Pixel Deluxe costs more than standard memory foam pillows — what justifies the price?
The price reflects two specific and verifiable distinctions from a standard memory foam pillow.
First, the Technogel® layer: manufacturing a patented cylindrical-tower gel structure with integrated top-to-bottom air tunnels — in a material with intrinsically high heat capacity that actively draws heat away from the head — is substantially more expensive than producing standard foam or gel-infused foam. This is not a gel coating on top of foam — it is a precision-engineered gel layer that performs specific cooling and pressure distribution functions that memory foam alone cannot replicate.
Second, the clinical evidence: the University of Turin study demonstrating up to 45% more deep sleep and up to 35% fewer awakenings represents independently verified sleep quality improvement — not a marketing claim. You are buying a pillow whose performance claims have been validated in controlled clinical conditions.
Add the antibacterial HyCare® cover system, Italian manufacturing standards, and Sleep Gallery’s home trial that removes all risk from the purchase — and the Pixel Deluxe represents a well-justified investment in genuinely better nightly sleep.
