airweave: They've made your bed (better). Now, go lie on it.

At the Beverly Hilton Hotel, half way around the world from Sochi, Russia and the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, Motokuni Takaoka, CEO and founder of the Airweave bedding topper and a representative from the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) announced the formation of a winning team. Leading the charge for the Airweave revolution on U.S. soil was spokesperson top ranked U.S. Golfer Paula Creamer, who took a swing telling her story about how a chance meeting with Takaoka after a car accident led to a speedy recovery and a success at the golf tournament in Singapore she was en route to when the accident took place.

 

Creamer noted, “"We all need a good nights sleep, and we as athletes fuel our bodies with the best. As I see it, airweave is part of my equipment in what I do"

Other U.S. spokes-Olympians include ice dance contenders Meryl Davis and Charlie White and figure skater Gracie Gold.  In Europe, the toppers are providing additional backbone for the young performers at Paris Opera Ballet School. who flies JAL’s Business and First Class cabins on transcontinental flights can also experience the miraculous benefits of a full-night’s sleep with airweave.  However, once you’ve tried the product at home, it becomes clear that innovative reinvention of resin fishing lines could be one of the first important health and wellness breakthroughs of the 21st century.

On a lighter note, given the rumors swirling around the accommodations in Sochi, its probably a good thing our athletes and contenders from Japan, Switzerland, France, Germany and Australia have the portable airweave toppers in tow!

 

While airweave, launched in Japan in 2007, is an institution in its native Japan, arrived on the U.S. market on January 8, sold to the lower 48 contiguous U.S. states via web site (www.airweave.com).  The topper itself, offered in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Full XL, Queen, and King sizes, is perhaps a bigger investment than the mattress it may be topping. Prices start at $710 for a Twin and go up to $1,180 for a King. However, for many needing extra support, the benefits and technology justify the price.

 

The idea to repurpose the resin intended for fishing nets and lines in this unlikely way came to. Takaoka after taking over his uncle's struggling company and realizing the resilience of the material and its easy maintenance was ideal for the creation of something new. After the company began production of the airweave toppers in 2007, Mr. Takaoka was able to reverse the fortunes of the business and transform it in to an international phenomenon embraced by the general public and the scientific community, who have supported tests that prove its breathability and structure improves the way.
