APPLE TREE's Groundbreaking Crowdfunding Success
APPLE TREE Corporation, based in Osaka, has achieved remarkable results with the crowdfunding campaign for its innovative 3D printed pillow, the
4D MAKURA LATTICE 3000. The project reached its funding goal of 500,000 yen less than ten minutes after launching, and within just 20 minutes, this figure climbed to 1 million yen.
As of March 25, 2026, the total support has exceeded 7.5 million yen, with support from over 300 backers, showcasing an overwhelmingly positive response from the public.
Addressing Sleep Challenges
The swift achievement of funding underscores a pressing issue faced by many: the struggle to find a pillow that fits their individual needs. As awareness surrounding the significance of a comfortable sleep environment grows, it’s clear that the demand for personalized sleep solutions is on the rise. The
4D MAKURA LATTICE 3000 addresses these concerns by utilizing advanced 3D printing technologies to create a customizable pillow that adapts to the user's head shape.
Innovative Design for Ultimate Comfort
What truly sets the
4D MAKURA LATTICE 3000 apart is its unique lattice structure. This design not only helps distribute weight evenly across the pillow but also ensures high breathability—features that traditional pillows often struggle to combine effectively. Instead of merely relying on materials, the innovation lies in the pillow's very structure designed to optimize comfort.
Versatility for Different Sleeping Positions
Another significant merit of the
4D MAKURA LATTICE 3000 is its adaptability to various sleeping positions, including back and side sleeping. This design consideration makes it suitable for individuals whose sleeping positions frequently change, thus catering to a broader audience.
