MIAN has launched its latest innovation for the sleep world: MIANDO – a pillow made with BASF’s CosyPUR polyurethane flexible foam. This innovation is the result of customer feedback on common sleep ailments, combined with BASF’s extensive research and development know-how for the optimal design and properties of CosyPUR for pillow applications.

 

MIANDO utilizes sensors to accurately detect muscle movements, and accordingly provide analysis of head and neck movements during sleep. As such, the material and shape of the pillow are critical in ensuring the accuracy of the sleep data collected. CosyPUR enables MIANDO’s signature bean shape while supporting the smart sleep technology with its ability to provide both softness and firm support for all sleep positions.

 

“Body and mind need to be recharged every night. The MIANDO pillow provides a comfortable balance of support and softness through its unique pillow shape for various types of sleepers,” said Dean Xu, CEO of MIAN. 

 

Unlike most conventional pillows made with closed-cell memory foam, CosyPUR is exceptionally breathable, which ensures MIANDO remains cool, clean, and comfortable for extended periods of use.

 

“We listen to our customers and have evolved our CosyPUR polyurethane foam through a combination of innovative technology according to their demands. Over the years, CosyPUR has become the material of choice for the bedding and furniture industry,” said Minli Zhao, Vice President, Consumer Industry, BASF Performance Materials, Asia Pacific.
