Introducing New DACRON® Memorelle™ Fiberfill with SMARTfill Technology™, the Gentler Memory Foam Alternative
Kennesaw, GA, October 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Sleepers who love the feel of memory foam but desire a pillow that’s more flexible to the way they sleep will rejoice at the introduction of new DACRON® Memorelle™ fiberfill featuring SMARTfill technology™, a memory foam-like alternative that’s gentler on pressure points and more adaptable to the sleeper’s movements. The SMARTfill technology™ gives the pillow a fluid movement so pressure is more evenly distributed and the head and neck rest comfortably.
In a recent nationwide consumer survey conducted by the DACRON® North American brand team, 88 percent of respondents reported interest in purchasing a foam alternative pillow.[1] However, while they like the support of memory foam, some have issues with its stiffness. DACRON® Memorelle™ fiberfill provides virtually equivalent head and neck support of a memory foam pillow, but the precision cut length, microdenier fibers continually adjust to the movement of the head and neck.
“We believe DACRON® Memorelle™ fiberfill is a breakthrough combination of the best qualities of memory foam and fiberfill,” said Brian Nix, segment manager for INVISTA’s North America Fiberfill business. “Unlike pillows of conventional memory foam, DACRON® Memorelle™ fiberfill adjusts more easily to your preferred sleeping position.”
Along with technological advantages and an affordable price, DACRON® Memorelle™ fiberfill has numerous practical benefits. Not only is DACRON® Memorelle™ fiberfill odorless, it’s machine washable and dryable, and the pillow fits into standard pillow cases.
Pillows made with DACRON® Memorelle™ fiberfill qualify for the DACRON® fiber quality seal on their package. The DACRON® fiber quality seal is based on a legacy of fiber technologies that have earned people's trust for more than 50 years. In nationwide consumer surveys, two-thirds of consumers recognize the DACRON® brand – one of the highest ratings over other comparable home textile brands. Sixty percent of home textile shoppers surveyed say they would pay more for bedding products featuring the DACRON® fiberfill quality seal.
“We believe DACRON® Memorelle™ fiberfill will be a successful product for us globally,” continued Nix, adding, “We received a great response to it from customers at the recent Intertextile Shanghai Home Textile Show.”
