Two Cooling Technologies, One Cushion Collection
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Epitex cushions different from regular cushions?
Epitex cushions use specially engineered cooling fabrics — Softicool's cooling knit and Koolsilk's silky-cool weave — that draw heat away from the body on contact, unlike standard polyester or cotton covers that trap warmth. This makes them noticeably more comfortable in Malaysia's hot, humid weather, whether or not you have air conditioning running.
Can I use these cushions for more than just sitting or sleeping support?
Yes. Both the Softicool and Koolsilk ranges are designed as multi-purpose cushions, suitable as sofa back support, bed accent cushions, nursing or feeding support, travel headrests, and general lounging comfort. Their cooling covers make them just as useful in the living room as in the bedroom.
How do I wash and care for my Epitex cushion?
Most Epitex cushion covers can be removed and machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air-dried away from direct heat to preserve the cooling fabric's texture. Avoid bleach and high-heat tumble drying, and check the care label on your specific product for exact instructions, as fillings may differ between designs.
What's the difference between Softicool and Koolsilk cushions?
Softicool cushions use a cooling knit fabric that focuses on breathability and a light, airy touch, ideal for everyday use. Koolsilk cushions build on that cooling effect with a noticeably silkier, smoother surface, giving a slightly more premium hand-feel while still keeping you cool. Both perform well in humid conditions; the choice comes down to personal texture preference.
