Promoting Health Management in the Transport Industry! 'Wellnee Mattress,' Using Materials Adopted by Shinkansen, Supports Driver Sleep

Next Link Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kunihide Nakamura) is strengthening sales of the 'Wellnee Mattress,' which utilizes 'Breathair®,' a high-functional material developed by Toyobo adopted in settings requiring high comfort, such as the seats of the Tokaido Shinkansen N700S and high-end inns in Hakone.

Drivers who support Japan's infrastructure at the forefront every day are an 'invaluable asset' to both the transport industry and society. Therefore, the ability to take 'high-quality rest' during limited break and nap times to refresh mind and body is a crucial issue directly linked not only to safe operations but also to the maintenance of health (health management) for vital human resources.

'Wellnee Mattress' solves issues difficult to address with conventional bedding, such as 'stuffiness' and 'difficulty in turning over,' through its unique 3D structure. It improves the rest environment in company nap rooms, accommodations, and truck cabs, supporting the reliable performance of drivers striving for daily safety.

■ Four Reasons 'Wellnee Mattress' Enhances Rest Quality

1. High Resilience Supporting Smooth Turning
The special spring-like structure prevents the body from sinking too much, enabling smooth turning without interrupting sleep. Excellent pressure dispersion gently supports bodies stiffened by long hours of driving, leaving no fatigue.

2. Breathability Comfortable All Year Round
The mesh fiber structure (3D mesh fiber structure) efficiently releases heat and moisture. It stays comfortable even in environments prone to heat accumulation and suppresses the influence of mold and mites.

3. Cleanliness with 'Washability' via Shower
Even if it gets dirty, the inner material can be easily rinsed off with running water or a shower. It has excellent drainage and overwhelming fast-drying properties, keeping it clean at all times.

4. Reliable Bacteriostatic Processing (SEK Mark Certification)
Processing to suppress bacterial growth has earned the 'SEK Mark,' which meets strict standards. It is safe for shared use (shift work) in nap rooms where hygiene is prioritized.

■ About Breathair®
A 3D mesh fiber structure made of polyether-ester elastomer fiber developed by major chemical fiber manufacturer Toyobo. Due to its outstanding breathability, durability, and high resilience, it is widely adopted in sites requiring high reliability and premium comfort, including Shinkansen seats, hospitals, nursing facilities, and inns in Hakone.
