SK Chemicals expands SKYPEL use from pillows to mattresses

SK Chemicals is set to expand the use of its SKYPEL specialty material from pillows to mattresses, as it partners with DMOA, a flagship brand of bedding specialist SENSE MOM. The memorandum of understanding signed on Monday will see the two companies jointly develop and manufacture pillows, cushions, seat cushions, and mattresses using SKYPEL as a breathable cushion filling.

SKYPEL, a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, has replaced conventional olefin-based materials in the pillows, offering a soft feel while maintaining its physical properties even in indoor environments with traditional underfloor heating systems. The companies have already begun commercial production of DMOA pillows incorporating SKYPEL and plan to expand its use to seat cushions and mattresses.
