Independent springs
Adaptive head support.
Viscospring Signature Pillow
A patented spring core
The only spring system patented by an Italian manufacturer.
Built on 60 independent pocket springs, each in its own casing. Every spring reacts only to the pressure above it.
Above them sits a comfort layer. The springs hold the structure in place so the pillow keeps its shape through the night.
This patented construction is developed by SOFF-ART in Italy.
Neck pain reduced. Clinically proven.
This is not a claim. It is published research.
A clinical trial registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03165669) and published in the Oxford Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Journal followed 70 adults with chronic neck pain.
Participants using the SOFF-ART spring pillow for four weeks showed significantly greater reductions in pain compared to the control group.
Mechanism
The effect is structural.
Independent springs keep the cervical spine aligned through the night, allowing muscles to relax instead of compensating.
Made in Italy. Since 1880.
A collaboration built on craftsmanship, not marketing.
SOFF-ART began as a small workshop in Terni, Italy, built on a simple belief: good sleep should be accessible to everyone.
More than 40 artisans work there today — some for over four decades. Every pillow is assembled by hand. No mass production. No outsourcing.
Led by Giuliano, recipient of the Cavaliere del Lavoro honour, SOFF-ART developed and patented the independent pocket spring pillow syst

Both use the same SOFF-ART patented pocket spring core — 60 independent springs, made by hand in Terni, Italy. The difference is the comfort layer. Morpheus has soft polyester fiber — light, breathable, traditional feel. Visco has viscoelastic memory foam — it contours to the shape of your head and holds that position through the night. Morpheus sleeps cooler and feels lighter. Visco gives firmer, more precise contouring support and holds the higher ErgoCert rating (5-star vs 4-star). If you are unsure, Morpheus is the lower-risk starting point.
Yes — structurally different. The spring core creates air channels inside the pillow that solid foam blocks entirely. Heat dissipates through the spring structure rather than building up in the foam. It is not a coating or treatment. It is a different construction.
Some people notice it in the first few nights. Others take one to two weeks to adapt to a spring-supported pillow. The 30-night trial covers this.
Yes. Both pillows have been assessed across back and side sleeping positions as part of their ErgoCert certification.
The spring core is identical in both. The price difference reflects two things: the comfort layer (memory foam costs more to produce than polyester fiber) and the ErgoCert rating (5-star requires additional evidence-based user experience testing that the 4-star level does not).
Polyester fiber compresses without affecting its long-term properties — vacuum packaging is safe and reduces shipping volume. Memory foam's long-term response can be affected by extended vacuum compression, so the Visco ships at full volume in a zip bag. Both are ready to use within minutes of opening.
A trial registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03165669) and published in the Oxford Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Journal tested the SOFF-ART spring pillow on 70 adults with chronic neck pain over 4 weeks. The spring pillow group showed statistically significant reductions in neck pain (−8.7), thoracic pain (−8.4), and headaches (−16.0) compared to the control group. Both Morpheus and Visco use the same spring core that was tested.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means all components have been tested for harmful substances by an independent body — not self-declared. ErgoCert is an independent ergonomic assessment covering head-neck alignment, anthropometric and biomechanical compliance, and usability. The Visco additionally holds 5-star rating which includes evidence-based user experience testing with real sleep data.
