Request for naptime bedding for new kindergarteners
The futon shop went out of business.
Taiyo Nursery School, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture
The bedding industry is facing two problems: changes in sales channels and a lack of successors. In recent years, as local futon shops have been going out of business one after another, many customers are searching for alternative sources of supply.
Taiyo Nursery School was one of the nursery schools that had such concerns.
I'm worried about asking a mass retailer or a non-specialist, but I'm also not sure about a futon shop far away...
We received a call from a customer who was feeling anxious and wanted to know more about the situation.
After receiving an inquiry from Taiyo Nursery School, we first held several detailed discussions over the phone and email.
We decide on an original cotton blend, taking into consideration the ideal characteristics of the filling desired by the nursery school, such as heat retention and resistance to dust.
In addition, the basic size will be determined based on the size of the room and storage space.
It is also important that the size is such that the feet do not hang over even in the older classes.
We also considered it important to consider the weight so that it would be easy to handle.
Since tidying up is also an important part of education, we considered the balance between weight so that children can carry it without stress and comfort, and set the weight of each futon mattress and comforter at 600 grams.
Through these meetings, we were able to gradually give shape to the nursery school's wishes.
After much consultation, the specifications were decided upon as follows.
- Size: Futon mattress (55cm x 125cm) / Comforter (100cm x 125cm)
- Filling: Made with dust-resistant, anti-mite cotton
- Weight: Futon mattress (600g) / Comforter (600g)
- Number of items delivered: Futon mattresses (30 pieces) and comforters (30 pieces)
What are your impressions and actual usage?
We visited Taiyo Nursery School at a later date to check how the bedding we delivered actually felt .
The garden is very beautiful and the interior, which makes extensive use of wood, smells wonderful.
The environment was perfect for relaxed childcare.
The children in the kindergarten who are using nap mats are also taking sound naps.
It is said that it is used very comfortably every day.
It makes me very happy to see the nap futons that we provide actually being used.
We would like to continue to share information with each other about the condition of the product after use and any issues that become apparent through its use, and make improvements.
At the end, we were even treated to lunch together with the staff.
It was a very warm and touching day.
Thank you very much for your request from far away.
