Fossflakes is the world's leading manufacturer of patented fillers and bedding that have been tested for washability and drying, and all bedding can be washed and dried without disassembly. As a high-end bedding brand in Europe, Fossflakes has been favored by the Danish royal family, and has provided bedding products for the royal family all year round.
 
Founder Lars Foss was originally a supplier of artificial snowflakes and still supplies artificial snow to film studios, such as the artificial snow used in the film Harry Potter and the musical The Phantom of the Opera. In 1991, he patented the use of small flakes of polyethylene for artificial snowflakes as bedding filling, founded the company, and entered the hotel industry in the United States, where it was widely acclaimed. Since 2000, Fossflakes has been a partner of many five-star hotels around the world.
 
The uniqueness of its products lies in the fact that they are filled with a patented filling technology that uses a mixture of 70% linear low-density polyethylene sheets and 30% polyester fibers, unlike the polyester fibers commonly used in the market. This linear LDPE sheet is a white or clear, ultra-lightweight plastic sheet that is soft and lightweight and ready to be washed and dried.
 
The fabrics and fillings of Fossflakes products have passed the quality control of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 (Baby) of the International Environmental Protection Textile Association, and have reached the European standard of maternal and infant safety touch A, which is higher than the domestic maternal and infant A-level standard (infant textile products), and has high safety. Through the hypoallergenicity test, its filling is less likely to breed bacteria than protein fiber products such as down, so it is a good choice for people who are prone to allergies.
 
Fossflakes is positioned as a high-end hotel bedding, and its main products are everyday bedding such as pillows, duvet cores and duvet covers, and relatively little involved in maternity products. Fossflakes' maternity pillow has only one U-shaped style, which can be divided into large U-shaped (over 160cm tall) and small U-shaped (under 160cm tall) according to the height of the pregnant woman. The U-shaped bending position is densely padded to provide more effective support, and the padding on both sides is softer for easy placement of various shapes.
 
Although the U-shaped area is densely filled to make it more supportive and not easy to collapse, it may be too high to use as a headrest, and people who usually like to sleep on low pillows will feel uncomfortable, so it is recommended to use it in reverse, that is, to place the U-shaped headrest part on the legs and use the pillow that is used to it. Due to the polyethylene flakes in the filling of the Fossflakes maternity pillow, there may be a subtle sound when turning over, but it does not affect sleep. The U-shaped design of the maternity pillow can encircle the whole body, and the overall volume is on the large side, so it is recommended to consider whether the bed space is sufficient before purchasing.
 
Washed by the Japan Textile Inspection Association (JSIF) in 2009, Fossflakes can be machine washed up to 50 times without deforming, and the washed filling does not clump like ordinary pillows, and retains its original volume and elasticity. Considering the size of the pillow, it is recommended to use a washing machine with a larger capacity of more than 8KG when cleaning, and pay attention to avoid using fabric softener or enzyme-based detergent when washing, so as not to destroy the performance of the filler. Regular outdoor drying during maintenance can maintain the fluffiness of the product.
 
Fossflakes' products are not absorbed locally, with an export share of about 70%, and production is small and does not guarantee sufficient production like large producers, but it is expensive. As far as domestic platforms are concerned, Fossflakes maternity pillows are sold in offline flagship stores and online e-commerce platforms, and it is relatively convenient to buy. The price of a full set of large U-shaped maternity pillows with pillowcases is more than 4,000 yuan, and the price of small U-shaped maternity pillows with pillowcases is about 3,000 yuan. However, this maternity pillow does not come standard with an outer pillowcase, and the pillowcase needs to be purchased separately.
