1000 series .LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN

...AND REST >PANTERA 1055

The Pantera 1000 series includes the softest models. The densities range from medium to high. Pantera 1000 is the perfect solution for applications where the pillow must primarily be soft but without making any concessions to durability. Examples of such applications are pillows, comfort zones in mattresses, and soft back cushions or armrests. >PANTERA 1085


2000 series .LIE DOWN

The Pantera 2000 series was developed especially for applications in which the primary focus is on achieving many years of comfortable and healthy sleep. The material has a very homogeneous structure consisting of round open cells with a differentiated cell structure. Due to the open cell design, Pantera has excellent ventilation charac-

>PANTERA 2100

teristics, which is very important to properly regulate temperature and moisture balance during sleep. The round shape of the cells provides the material with a high degree of elasticity, whereas the differentiated cell structure optimises comfort. Pantera follows the natural contours of the body and therefore provides perfect support. >PANTERA 2130

Intensive laboratory tests have shown that the excellent characteristics of Pantera are not affected by humid conditions. The density, special composition, and production process result in excellent durability and dimensional stability. The dimensional stability is guaranteed for a period of 7 years. Pantera complies with the strict Öko-tex standards.


All types even comply with the standard 100 product class 1 and are therefore suitable for direct contact with, for example, the delicate skin of a baby.

like the other types - very suitable for use in durable and sustainable products. Pantera 3000 is the product series intended for the production of high-quality seat cushions. Of all applications, sitting results in the greatest pressure per unit of surface area, which explains why the hardest types are used for this purpose. Of course, the Pantera 3000 series is also intended for mattresses which are subjected to extra heavy loads. Just as important here are the other characteristics of Pantera, which result in a high level of comfort and elasticity as well as a guaranteed dimensional stability of 7 years.
