Description
The Somnia 06 is a half-moon pillow made by Orthex in Canada, 15 in long and 3 in high. It is a roll for the neck or the lower back: sit or lie it against the area that needs support. The maker builds it from gel infused memory foam in a knitted coconut cover.
Who it suits
- Anyone who has been advised to keep a small roll under the neck or behind the lower back.
- People who want a support that travels: the maker says it folds and carries easily and needs no strap.
- Anyone who finds a full size pillow too much under the neck.
Check the fit
- One size, printed by the maker as 15 x 6 x 3 in (38.1 x 15.2 x 7.6 cm): 15 in long, 6 in across and 3 in high.
- Place it against the area that gives the most relief, which is the maker's own instruction.
- No strap is needed: the maker says the foam's composition keeps the cushion stable.
- No adaptation period is required, the maker states.
- The maker publishes no weight limit for it, so we print none.
The foam and the cover
- The core is gel infused viscoelastic memory foam, the maker's own description.
- The cover is a breathable knitted coconut polyester that machine washes in cold water; lay it flat to dry, with no ironing and no bleach.
- The foam itself is not washable. Clean it locally with a damp cloth only.
- Replacement covers are sold on their own, and we can order one with the pillow.
- The five year warranty is Orthex's own, from the date of purchase.
How it compares
This is a comfort pillow, not a wheelchair cushion. For seating, start with our foam wheelchair cushions or the wider cushion range.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I place it?
Against the area that gives you the most relief, which is what the maker advises. It holds its place on its own, so no strap is needed.
Can I buy just the cover?
Yes. Orthex sells the knitted coconut cover on its own and we can order one with the pillow. Ask us through contact.
Who handles the warranty?
The five year warranty is Orthex's own and claims go to them. Our warranty and service page explains how we help with a claim.
How firm is it?
The maker describes it as light support, tested to reduce tension, with a gentle hold on the spinal curve rather than a firm push.
