■ Development Background: A Structural Approach to Fill the 'Gap' Between Medical Care and Daily Life
Currently, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is a typical treatment for Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS), but it is estimated that over 1 million people cumulatively drop out due to discomfort from wearing it. In addition, those in the 'mild' or 'hypopnea' categories who are not severely affected are less likely to be targets for medical intervention, and face health risks from 'hidden nighttime hypoxia' without realizing it. Utilizing the knowledge of apparel professionals to 'fit a 3D body without stress', our company has developed a pillow that focuses on the 'balance of body structure' rather than symptomatic treatment.
■ '3D Design for Breathing' Born from Apparel Technology
Many conventional pillows have a structure that 'supports the head and neck by raising them', but this can sometimes compress the muscles around the throat and narrow the airway. Just as clothing does not stress the body, this product is based on an 'apparel 3D design' that does not place a burden on the neck and muscles, which are the pathways for breathing.
6 Patented Technologies: A structure designed to physically suppress 'tongue base subsidence', where the base of the tongue falls into the throat, by stabilizing the angle of the airway even when turning over.
Approach to the Digastric Muscle: A unique shape that applies slight pressure near the back of the ears suppresses excessive muscle relaxation, supporting against mouth opening and tongue base subsidence during sleep.
■ A Savior for 'Pillow Refugees'. Trial Service Including Round-trip Shipping and Cleaning Fees
It is said that 1 in 4 people are 'pillow refugees' who worry that they 'don't know what pillow suits them'. In response to voices not wanting to fail by purchasing an expensive pillow, we have started a service where you can check the actual sleep comfort at home.
Service details: Rental for around 7 days
Cost: 4,500 yen (tax included) *Our company will cover all round-trip shipping and cleaning costs by professionals.
■ User Survey: 76.7% Realized the 'Importance of Breathing'
In a preliminary survey (n=30), 76.7% answered that they 'realized the importance of breathing during sleep'. Furthermore, half (50.0%) answered that they 'greatly felt the ease of breathing', obtaining solid bodily sensation beyond theory.
