Case Study
Developing a Cooler Newborn Pillow With Tencel™
At the 2014 Canton Fair, we began cooperating with P.Health, a Chinese maternity brand focused on infant pillow development. At that time, most newborn pillows on the market still used latex, memory foam, or buckwheat fillings, which often trapped heat and lacked airflow performance.
Our Solution
Product Solution
1
Using Tencel™ for Better Breathability
To improve cooling and moisture transfer performance, Mefiss Textile, our own spacer mesh fabric factory, developed a 3mm spacer mesh fabric using Lenzing™ Lyocell fibers. The smoother fiber structure improved airflow and created a softer touch feeling suitable for newborn skin contact.
2
Comparing Performance Through Testing
To verify the material advantages, we arranged comparison testing between the Tencel™ spacer mesh fabric, ordinary polyester materials, and cotton fabrics. The testing results showed stronger moisture transfer and airflow performance for the Tencel™ mesh structure.
3
Building a Fully Breathable Pillow Core
To further improve pillow airflow, we also developed BD2-6N6 honeycomb through-hole spacer mesh structures in both 5.8mm and 9mm thicknesses. Different layers were manually sewn together to create stable support and breathable rebound performance inside the pillow core.
4
Balancing Support & Sleeping Comfort
Compared with traditional newborn pillow materials, the final structure achieved better airflow, more stable rebound support, and reduced heat accumulation around the baby’s head area. The breathable structure also improved whole-product washability and faster drying performance.
Results
What We Achieved
The newborn pillow quickly gained strong market recognition and became one of the earlier breathable infant pillow solutions in the maternity and baby market.
