What is Visco (Orthopedic) pillow? What are its features?

Visco orthopaedic pillow is a type of pillow produced from a special memory foam called viscoelastic material, providing maximum support and comfort for the head and neck. These high-tech materials offer a perfect fit and personalised comfort by sensing the user's body temperature and weight. The pillow is shaped to support the body in a natural way and thus provides the proper alignment necessary for spinal health.

Visco pillow has unique features compared to other types of pillows. These pillows offer uninterrupted support during sleep by following your head and neck movements while sleeping. Specially designed pillow models with neck support do not require any additional movement or position change. The even weight distribution of the foam structure minimises pressure points and can improve blood circulation, thus providing a more restful sleep experience.

Visco neck pillow models contain antibacterial and antiallergic surfaces. Antibacterial and antiallergic surfaces make these products more suitable for people with respiratory problems such as allergies and asthma. Due to its hypoallergenic structure, it is resistant to dust mites and other allergens, thus providing a healthy and clean sleep environment.

Thanks to the Visco orthopaedic pillow, sleep quality increases, while problems such as neck and back pain during sleep are observed to decrease. This type of pillow is designed to support the natural S curve of the spine. The adaptability of the products in the orthopaedic visco pillow category maintains ideal neck and head support, no matter how the user sleeps. The use of orthopaedic pillows for neck flattening is especially recommended for people with such disorders.

Models produced as medical neck pillows are among the preferences of individuals who are recommended by a doctor.

Who should use orthopaedic pillows?

Orthopedic visco pillow is an ideal solution for individuals suffering from neck, back and shoulder pain with its ergonomic design and support. Especially unlike flat pillows, using an orthopedic visco pillow allows the muscles to get rid of unnecessary tension by supporting the natural curve of the body while sleeping.

Orthopedic visco pillow, which provides protection against neck tensions caused by prolonged computer use or physical work, has an important place among ergonomic solutions. It is also a recommended option for people with a sedentary lifestyle or individuals who experience rehabilitation process after neck injuries.

Orthopedic visco pillows, designed for those who want to protect their neck and spine health due to incorrect sleeping positions, not only improve sleep quality, but also bring long-term health benefits by maintaining neck and spine alignment. These pillows, which facilitate the correct positioning during sleep, are recommended for a peaceful and restful sleep experience.

How to use an orthopaedic pillow?

In terms of correct use, the high part of the pillow is placed under the neck and the head is placed on the wider flat area. This ensures that the visco neck pillow supports the spine correctly and offers ergonomic comfort. The sleeping position of the individual should also be taken into account during the use of orthopaedic pillows. While a moderately high pillow is required for back sleepers, side sleepers need a pillow at a height to fill the gap between the neck and shoulder.

In order to maintain spinal alignment, the user should adjust the pillow height according to their individual needs. This significantly improves sleep quality and allows individuals to start the day vigorously. Regular airing of orthopaedic visco pillows is important for evaporation of moisture and preservation of the form of the pillow. The pillow should be laid on a flat surface when not in use and turned occasionally.
Another important point in the use of visco orthopaedic pillows is to ensure harmony with the mattress and duvet covers. Healthy products such as cotton duvet cover set sets integrate with orthopedic pillows to create the best sleeping environment. In this way, the discomfort that may be experienced during sleep is minimised and a continuous comfort is provided throughout the sleep period.

Another issue to be considered when using this type of pillows is the cleaning of the pillow. For a hygienic use in the long term, it is recommended to use protective covers over the pillow and wash them regularly. IKEA's collection of quality pillowcases fulfils this need and prolongs the life of the pillows.

Are Visco pillows healthy?

Visco pillows can be considered part of modern sleep technology. The unique comfort offered by these pillows not only enhances the personalised sleep experience, but also has health benefits. It is characterised as a visco neck pillow or orthopaedic visco pillow because it provides proper alignment by supporting the natural curve of the spine. Thus, it provides the desired support as a medical neck pillow and can help against certain head, neck and shoulder pain.

Having a non-fixed foam increases the adaptability of visco pillows and allows it to take shape by reacting to body temperature to support the user's head, neck and shoulders. This dynamic harmony is one of the most basic features that make visco pillows stand out in the orthopaedic pillow category.

This unique material has a structure that can follow the natural curves of the neck and head and provide support as needed. The content of the products is meticulously developed by sleep experts and design engineers, prioritising health and comfort and supporting the ongoing treatment of the user under the supervision of a doctor.

What should be considered when buying a Visco pillow?

When choosing a Visco pillow, you should consider your body type and sleep habits as well as your spine health. The height and hardness of the pillow should ensure that your head and neck are properly supported. The quality of the memory foam will greatly affect the performance and durability of your pillow over time.

Another factor that can affect sleep quality is the breathability of the pillow. As Visco pillows take shape with temperature, it is important that the product can dissipate heat well and provide air flow. When buying an orthopaedic pillow, choosing models that prevent sweating and increase air circulation can increase sleep comfort.

When choosing an orthopaedic visco pillow, attention should also be paid to hypoallergenic properties that will not cause allergic reactions or skin sensitivities. Antibacterial and antimite (mite-preventing) properties are important for individuals with allergies or skin problems.

It is important to choose removable and washable covers for visco pillows, which can also be called medical neck pillows, in order to extend their life and facilitate their cleaning. IKEA responds to this need by offering easy-to-clean and washing machine washable pillow covers.

What is inside a Visco pillow?

Visco pillows contain high-density viscoelastic foam. This reduces pressure points by evenly distributing body weight and provides excellent support. This material, which has been developed with advancing technology, adapts itself to the body shape during sleep with its temperature- and pressure-sensitive behaviour and thus guarantees optimal sleep comfort.

A visco pillow senses your weight when you lie on it and slowly takes shape, and the material inside the pillow takes pressure, especially in the neck and head area, ensuring a comfortable sleep. In addition, this material minimises perspiration and temperature changes, helping you to maintain the preferred temperature balance during sleep.

The memory feature of viscoelastic foam explains where the term orthopaedic visco pillow comes from. The most obvious benefit of this feature is that the pillow returns to its original form after each use, offering the support and comfort of the first day in every new use. The materials inside do not deform over time and offer a long-lasting use.

Visco pillows, which can also be considered as a medical neck pillow, are designed for various health conditions with these features and emerge as a solution that offers relief especially for individuals with neck, shoulder and back pain. These products, which are frequently recommended by health professionals, can also provide benefits for neck flattening and other spinal problems.

This type of pillow, among the products used as a neck support pillow, shows superior features in providing a correct spine alignment and a healthy neck position during sleep. This posture improves sleep quality and plays an effective role in preventing neck and headaches that may occur during the day.

Is visco pillow washable?

Offering softness and comfort, visco pillows play a role in improving sleep quality thanks to their special materials; however, these pillows should not be exposed to water and high temperatures. Visco pillows are not washable because the viscoelastic foam structure can be damaged by the effect of water and cause the pillow to lose its original form. Instead, IKEA makes it easier for you to maintain the hygiene of your pillow with durable covers and pillow covers. Made from high-quality fabrics, the covers are practical to use and can be washed frequently, allowing you to keep your pillow clean.

You can also use other protective methods such as regular ventilation and anti-stain sprays together with pillow covers to ensure the long life of your pillow. Especially the covers of visco orthopaedic pillows absorb sweat and other liquids and protect the inner material of your pillow with the cleanliness of the first day. By offering you pillowcases in different colours and designs, you can personalise the decoration of your bedroom while providing additional protection for your pillow.

Dry cleaning methods such as vacuuming or wiping are recommended for foam pillows. These methods are designed to preserve the form and prolong the life of pillows that meet special health needs, such as medical neck pillows. There are also stain removers and foam cleaner sprays specially produced for this type of pillow. These products can be used to remove stains and dirt without damaging the structure of the pillow and without the outer cover.

How to wash a visco pillow? Is it machine washable?

Due to the structure of Visco pillows, direct contact with water should be avoided. It is important to clean such pillows in a certain way and carefully. In order to protect your pillow during cleaning, it is recommended to remove the removable pillow covers and wash them separately. These covers, which are suitable for machine washing, keep your pillow clean and hygienic.

Visco pillowcases should be cared for in accordance with the instructions on the label. You can usually wash the covers with warm water and a mild detergent. However, the foam part should not be washed, as the pillow itself can absorb water and disrupt the structure of the inner material. It is important to remember that due to the nature of such materials, when in contact with water, they are not able to maintain their internal structure and can deteriorate.

How to remove visco pillow odour?

A newly purchased visco pillow may have a specific odour. This odour is usually reduced by ventilation. Allowing the pillow to breathe and regularly cleaning the covers will also minimise odour formation. This fabrication odour, which may occur depending on the material structure of your pillow, will tend to decrease over time and under the right ventilation conditions, although it may be felt in the first days you buy the pillow.

In order to prolong the life of this type of pillow and ensure maximum hygiene, it is also important that it is exposed to sunlight and kept in an airy environment at regular intervals. You can benefit from the natural disinfecting properties of sunlight by leaving your pillow outside for certain hours. However, you should take care not to expose your pillow directly to sunlight for a long time.

You can also choose removable and washable cover models for cleaning Visco pillows. Thanks to the washable cover features integrated into Visco pillows, you can easily remove odour and dust from your pillow and clean it more frequently. It is also important to make sure that you dry it completely after removing the cover and washing it according to the recommended washing conditions. A damp cover can both create odour on the pillow and damage its structure.

On the other hand, if you do not want to come into direct contact with the inner material of your visco pillow, recommended methods include removing dust and particles that have penetrated into the pillow using compressed air. This process supports the cleaning of your pillow without damaging it and can contribute to the removal of bad odours.

You can explore IKEA's visco pillow collection to create a perfect sleeping environment together with other sleep products such as orthopaedic mattresses, pillow types and cotton duvet cover set, which are manufactured with the aim of improving the quality of sleep in your home.
