Adapting the world's excellence to suit the needs of Japan First and foremost, to devise the perfect bedding, it is absolutely essential to acquire a thorough understanding of what human sleep really involves. Or, what are the elusive factors that determine whether sleep is restful and moreover, conducive to good health? To answer this question, we have our professional research team at the R&D section of the Hamamatsu main office actively engage in the elucidation of these factors. From the starting point of an investigation of the twin mechanisms of REM and non-REM sleep, then on to mid-sleep bodily configuration, perspiration and many other physiological phenomena, our team continues experimenting and verifying the research results. All this goes on while never losing sight of our overall objective to find the properties and features required for excellent bedding. We are also promoting our multifaceted project focusing on product development based on the sciences of human engineering and human physiology. At Maruhachi, our manufacture of futons has its origins in making the study of sleep a science.

Continually offering the customer a new standard
People's tastes and lifestyles have changed in step with the advancing times. Naturally, we are working to improve product quality but also, the customer must be presented with products that suit the mood of the times so as to make them appear desirable in the customer's eyes. With this in mind, the Maruhachi Group has been carrying out trials regarding the development of various innovative new products. One of these trials has involved promotion of carefully planned marketing requirements. Finally, product planning which mirrors these requirements is carried out. Incorporation of such innovative ideas into collective marketing is one of our strong points. An example of this is the "Furton", a product in which two different materials, traditional bedding and fur have been harmoniously amalgamated to create a completely new concept. Such concepts are the result of careful planning and unconventional, unfettered thinking and are unmistakably, at the core of Maruhachi's product planning.
