Created with a closed-cell compound, it is naturally antimicrobial, easy to care for, and odor-resistant. What's more, the manufacturing process used to create Techlite has dramatic environmental advantages over other cushioning technologies: the Techlite molding process reduces waste by 25–30%, keeping material out of the landfill.
