KURUKURU Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yasuhiro Sekizawa), through its bedding brand 'GOKUMIN,' launched the 'Funyu-Toro Pillow' on April 7, 2026. This product features 'Melty Rich Fiber,' an ultrafine fiber of 0.3 denier—less than one-third the thickness of standard cotton. It achieves both a 'melting' sinking sensation and exceptional durability due to its ultra-high-density structure. The unique grid quilting structure allows the pillow to conform perfectly to the head and neck, providing a new option for 'pillow refugees'—people constantly searching for the perfect pillow.
### Background and Developer's Vision In recent years, the sleep-tech market has been expanding globally to improve sleep quality. While devices and supplements are popular, there remains a strong demand to optimize the bedding itself. Pillows, in particular, are the most personal yet difficult items to choose. Data shows that nearly 90% of people consider themselves 'pillow refugees,' struggling to find a match. 'In an era where sleep data is visualized through apps, the physical comfort of where you rest your head becomes even more crucial,' says the developer. The Funyu-Toro Pillow was born from the desire to create the final choice for those who keep replacing their pillows. It prioritizes 'comfort from the moment of touch' through its 0.3 denier fibers, independent quilting, and washable design.
### Product Features 1. Melting Sinking vs. Durability: The 'Melty Rich Fiber' is 0.3 denier, providing a soft sinking feeling while maintaining a 'plump' texture and durability that defies the common belief that soft pillows flatten quickly. 2. Grid Quilting Structure: Each quilted section moves independently, following the natural movements of back and side sleepers. It evenly distributes weight from the head to the shoulders, reducing strain and supporting sound sleep until morning. Height can be easily adjusted via a side zipper. 3. Hygienic Design: The cover is removable and machine-washable. Both the body and cover are treated with antibacterial and deodorant processing to inhibit odor and bacterial growth. The silk-like smooth fabric adds extra comfort to the skin.
