MoVis™ RecoveryFill: The Science Behind MOSO Pillow
What Makes MoVis™ RecoveryFill Exceptional
MoVis™ RecoveryFill isn’t just any pillow fill—it’s performance engineered.
With tourmaline and bamboo charcoal integrated into viscose made from bamboo, it's designed to elevate thermal comfort and stay breathable.
How It Works
1: When You Sleep Your Body Creates Heat
When you sleep, your body naturally produces heat. Instead of letting that energy escape, MoVis™ Fiber is designed to work with it—transforming body heat into beneficial infrared energy.
2: MoVis™ Converts Heat Into Infrared Energy
Our proprietary MoVis Fiber, made from carbonized bamboo and infused with tourmaline, converts body heat into far-infrared energy. Published work on far-infrared-emitting textiles reports effects on local microcirculation. The sources are below.
3: What the Research Shows
Only MOSO pillows use MoVis Fiber. The research below explores the materials MOSO is built with: bamboo charcoal, tourmaline, and a fill with no microplastics.

Far-Infrared (FIR) Emission: Tourmaline & Bamboo Charcoal Synergy
Why it matters: FIR—typically in the 4–14 µm range—is known for gentle, non-heating effects that may support microcirculation and comfort during rest.
-
Tourmaline, a naturally FIR-emissive mineral, is used in FIR textiles. A medical review describes the biological effects of far-infrared radiation, and a study adding natural mineral powders to polymer films found they raised FIR emissivity in the 5–14 µm range.

Bamboo Charcoal also performs as an FIR emitter. One study embedded bamboo charcoal into PVA fibers and observed higher FIR emissivity (8–14 µm) and effective ammonia/methylene blue adsorption.

Composite warp-knitted fabrics combining bamboo charcoal displayed FIR emissivity above 0.85 ε, plus high air permeability and water-vapor transmission—marking them as comfortable, health-focused textiles.

What this means: MoVis RecoveryFill™ combines Tourmaline and Bamboo Charcoal to deliver enhanced FIR emission, converting body heat into far-infrared energy for a cool, comfortable sleep surface.
Comfort, Breathability & Moisture Control
-
Viscose fibers made from bamboo are known for softness, moisture management, and breathability—providing a comfortable, dry rest environment when built with high-quality loft and fabric structure.
-
Composite fabrics with bamboo charcoal significantly improved air permeability and water-vapor transmission, boosting overall comfort.

Microplastic Reduction
-
Unlike synthetic alternatives, RecoveryFill™ is fiber-based on viscose, so there are no microplastics in the fill. Research on domestic washing found that synthetic fabrics such as polyester and acrylic release large numbers of microplastic fibers every wash.
