[Apparel 3D Cutting Technology Applied to Pillows] Introducing the 'Toratani Good Circulation Pillow' with 6 Patented Technologies to Physically Suppress 'Tongue Root Retraction' During Sleep; Paid Trial Service Now Available

Toratani Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kahoku City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Representative: Ikuo Toratani) has launched a 7-day paid trial service for the 'Toratani Good Circulation Pillow,' which applies apparel 3D cutting technology to support breathing quality during sleep.

Background of Development: A Structural Approach to Bridge the Gap Between Medicine and Daily Life Currently, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy is a representative treatment for Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS). However, it is estimated that over 1 million people have discontinued its use due to discomfort with the device. Furthermore, individuals with mild cases or hypopnea, who do not qualify for medical intervention, are at risk of health issues from 'hidden nocturnal hypoxia' without their awareness. Leveraging the expertise of apparel professionals in 'fitting the body three-dimensionally without stress,' our company has developed a pillow that focuses on 'structural balance' rather than symptomatic treatment.

'3D Design for Breathing' Born from Apparel Technology Many conventional pillows are designed to 'support the head and neck in a raised position.' However, this can sometimes compress the muscles around the throat, narrowing the airway. This product is based on an 'apparel 3D design' that, similar to how clothing fits the body without stress, does not burden the neck and muscles, which are pathways for breathing.

6 Patented Technologies: The structure is designed to stabilize the airway angle even when turning over in sleep, aiming to physically suppress 'tongue root retraction,' where the base of the tongue falls back into the throat.

Approach to the Digastric Muscle: A unique shape that applies slight pressure near the back of the ears helps to prevent excessive muscle relaxation, supporting the reduction of mouth opening and tongue root retraction during sleep.

A Savior for 'Pillow Refugees.' Trial Service Includes Round-Trip Shipping and Cleaning Fees It is estimated that 1 in 4 people suffer from 'pillow refugee' syndrome, struggling to find a pillow that suits them. To address the desire to avoid purchasing expensive pillows that don't work, we have launched a service that allows customers to test the actual comfort in their own homes.

Service Details: Loan period of approximately 7 days

Fee: 4,500 yen (tax included) *Round-trip shipping and professional cleaning fees are all covered by our company.

User Survey: 76.7% Experienced the 'Importance of Breathing' In a preliminary survey (n=30), 76.7% responded that they 'realized the importance of breathing during sleep.' Furthermore, half (50.0%) answered that they 'felt breathing was very easy,' indicating a tangible experience beyond just theory.
