Trying to sleep while traveling is a major consumer pain.
No doubt, if you've tried sleeping while traveling on a plane, train or automobile you've experienced it for yourself. Keeping your head in a comfortable, ergonomic position so you can sleep is challenging, to say the least.
While there's dozens of travel pillows available, the problem is that most of these products fall short in serious ways.
Most solutions are also a pain. Literally.
Most designs do not support the head properly, either forcing it forward or allowing the chin to drop against the chest which is terrible for the body and prevents a deep and restful sleep. Learn more about the negatives of poor neck ergonomics here.
Most designs intended to be "portable" are instead bulky, taking up too much of the limited space typically available in carry-ons, backpacks and pocketbooks.
So it's no surprise...
Perhaps that's why crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have experienced recent successful campaigns for ideas that attempted to solve this very common problem.
In fact several campaigns exceeded their funding goals many times over, with some even reaching totals in the $100,000s.
Yet even these products, if and when released, have the design flaws and challenges described above.
Consumers are still searching for better solutions.
Meet ChinzUp.
The pillowless travel pillow.
Do a search on Google for "best travel pillows" and you'll get over 2.6 million results. Search "travel pillows" on Amazon, and you'll have a choice of over 95,000 offers.
Most planes, trains and automobiles already have seats with cushions for travelers to rest their heads on. For sleeping, what that traveler really needs is not another cushion, but instead a simple, comfortable and sweat-free way to keep their head supported properly.
That's exactly what ChinzUP offers, and does so using a thoughtful and lightweight design.
Adjusts easily with the twist of a knob.
The knobs loosen to enable user adjustment of the chin and chest supports, letting them find the perfect position to cradle their chin.
Ventilated materials prevents heat build-up.
A major design goal was to reduce heat buildup as much as possible. Ventilation holes, breathable open-cell cushions and mesh fabrics achieve this goal perfectly to prevent sweat and skin irritation.
Colors to match personal style.
Simple color variations for plastic and fabric create exciting options for the consumer.
Or for more discreet use, ChinzUP can easily be placed under outer clothing. For chilled travelers a favorite scarf can be placed around their ChinzUP.
Comfortable as air.
Soft foam cushions at all contact points enable hours of comfortable pressure-free use.
Folds quickly for easy portability.
ChinzUP was designed to fold flat (25mm) so it takes up very little room and will easily fit inside virtually all carryons like pocketbooks, backpacks, briefcases, even laptop bags just like a book would.
ChinzUP is an ultralight, ultraportable and ultra-comfortable accessory that supports the head properly, letting travelers get the sleep they want.
Manufacturing ChinzUP.
• Design uses identical parts for the left and right sides. The result is that minimum tooling will be required for the injection molded plastic parts. The parts themselves are small and very simple in design which should allow for multi-part tools.
• Fabrics used are readily available and inexpensive.
• Uses standard, off-the-shelf and low-cost hardware.
• Very basic wire bending/fabrication required for support arms.
• Custom foam cushion fabrication required.
• Requires minimal hand assembly.
• Lightweight and small size minimizes packaging, warehousing and shipping costs.
Projected retail price is less than or around $25
This price would make ChinzUP very competitive with similar products.
