Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams.
This press release represents the dream of Manet Inc.
We are seriously taking on this challenge!
In an era where smartphones and PCs are commonplace, many people suffer from straight neck and "smartphone neck," experiencing headaches and discomfort in their neck and shoulders, despite the convenience these devices offer.
Therefore, Manet Inc. aims to promote body conditioning that allows people to use their devices for life, through a new approach: correcting posture from 'sleep'.
Our goal is not just a temporary fix, but to fundamentally correct posture and protect future health.
We envision a world where enduring pain is no longer the norm.
A future where everyone who lives with smartphones and PCs can spend their days lightly, with their naturally comfortable bodies.
We are committed to making this future a reality.
When I go out into the city, I feel that most people I pass have a straight neck.
In recent years, the time spent using smartphones and computers occupies the majority of the day, and this posture is a cause of straight neck.
Astonishingly, 55.5% of Japanese people (1 in 2) are said to have a straight neck.
This result is truly shocking!
We must do something about this modern ailment! If we don't, it will lead to serious problems!
◎Symptoms caused by straight neck
- Headaches
- Neck and shoulder stiffness and pain
- Nausea
- Numbness in hands
- Rounded back (decreased internal organ function)
In addition, cases of other accompanying symptoms such as dizziness and autonomic nervous system imbalances have also been reported.
When you experience pain or discomfort, you probably go to a chiropractic clinic or get a massage. However, even if your body is temporarily aligned, it will revert to its original state if you don't change your daily habits. But desk work and smartphones cannot be stopped.
Therefore, our company believes it is crucial to be freed from daytime posture during sleep, gently support the neck while sleeping, and maintain correct posture continuously.
Some people have habitual sleeping postures, or their comfortable sleeping posture may be putting a strain on their neck. Many people unconsciously lift their chin or, conversely, excessively round their neck and shoulders, sleeping in a hunched posture.
By properly wearing "Nelmet Air," developed from scratch by Manet Inc., your comfortable sleeping posture will also become a good sleeping posture that places no burden on your body. We believe that achieving both will lead to true restful sleep.
Since the pillow height differs for back sleeping and side sleeping, the head, neck, and shoulders are almost in a straight line when lying down, maintaining a stable relational position similar to when standing upright.
A medical brace inside supports the neck.
"Nelmet Air" was developed with a focus on a structure that prevents the neck from shifting even during tossing and turning, aiming to reduce the burden on the neck and shoulders during sleep.
Manet Inc. sincerely hopes that everyone can be freed from neck and shoulder problems, regain their natural comfort, and lead the best possible life.
"Nelmet Air": A support item that guides you to the correct posture while you sleep.
No matter how much you toss and turn, your posture remains unchanged, and the soft, shape-memory inner pillow is designed to accommodate any neck.
When lying down, it becomes almost a straight line, maintaining a stable relational position of the shoulders, neck, and head as if standing upright. It is structured to fill all empty spaces.
