“The Era of Supporting the Neck with a 'Point' is Over.” Patented Structural Pillow 'MARNEM' Developed by Former Kashima Antlers Dedicated Physical Therapist, Which 'Receives with a Surface'.

Upon waking up in the morning,
Many people experience stiffness or discomfort around their neck.
The number of people suffering from such problems is increasing.
Amidst the daily routines of long hours of desk work and smartphone use,
'MARNEM' was developed focusing on the burden on the neck during sleep.
This product is a patented pillow developed by Yosuke Shioiri, a former dedicated physical therapist for Kashima Antlers who supported athletes' bodies, based on his clinical experience and anatomical knowledge.
With over 15 years of clinical experience, having faced the necks and bodies of over 10,000 people,
What Shioiri emphasized was the concept of "neck angle."
■ Development Background | From "Height Selection" to "Angle Design"
Traditional pillow selection primarily focused on "height" and "softness."
However, the perspective of what angle the neck is supported at during sleep has not been sufficiently emphasized.
Shioiri noticed that the distortion of the neck's angle during sleep due to the weight of the head is one of the causes of morning discomfort.
He aimed to guide the user into a posture where the burden on the neck is less concentrated and to maintain a natural angle during sleep.
1. Patented shape based on a neck angle of approximately 15 degrees (Patent No. 7536354)
Designed with approximately 15 degrees as a standard for the angle at which the neck is naturally supported.
It prevents excessive sinking due to the weight of the head and pursues a shape that minimizes uneven burden on the neck.
The interior adopts a unique "2-layer arch structure."
The upper layer offers flexibility to easily fit the head and neck,
while the lower layer functions as a base that suppresses sinking and prevents the neck angle from collapsing.
2. Concept of receiving with a "surface" rather than a "point"
With many conventional pillows, the burden tends to concentrate on a single part of the neck.
MARNEM aims to distribute pressure less on one part by receiving the head and neck with a wide surface.
3. Adopts new materials with consideration for breathability and durability
Because it's something you rest your head on for long hours every day.
It uses polyethylene fiber material composed of over 90% air layers, ensuring breathability, durability, and hygiene.
It has features such as being less stuffy, washable, and maintaining resilience,
making it easy to keep clean daily.
■ Manufactured under a consistent domestic system
Implemented jointly with "Nemuri Seisakusho," a pillow manufacturer established in 2006 with over 200,000 units sold.
Manufacturing, inspection, and shipping are all carried out domestically.
It's a "MADE IN JAPAN" quality product combining the knowledge of a physical therapist and Japanese manufacturing technology.
■ 30-day money-back guarantee
"You won't know if a pillow fits until you actually use it."
To address such concerns,
a "30-day money-back guarantee" is available, allowing returns even after use.

■ Developer's Comment
"I pursued the ideal way of support through repeated prototyping.
To create the ultimate pillow.
From that desire, MARNEM was born.
It is designed for that moment, a few years from now, when you think, 'I'm glad I used this pillow.'"
