Your dirty pillowcase is the leading cause of breakouts & damaged hair.
Sleep Away is a product designed out of a necessity. Our team had grown tired of placing clean t-shirts or towels over our pillows each night. We wanted a clean sleeping surface, but doing Laundry Everyday was out of the question.
So we decided to look at what is wrong with current pillowcases. And after identifying a few crucial flaws we knew where to take our own pillowcase project.
We set out to design a pillowcase perfect for travel & nightly use in the home. Easier to change than other pillowcases and available in sets to help you avoid the wash. Soft, 100% bamboo fabric that is antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-odor. Wake up in the morning feeling refreshed with less breakouts, bed head & damaged hair
Sleep Away in Color
Sleep Away is available in both White and Black.
For the final model, the velcro of the white pillowcase will have white velcro, and the black model, black velcro.
Our velcro has an Open/Close average of 10,000 times and bamboo requires 1/3 of the water to wash when compared with cotton.
Each Sleep Away comes with a mesh washing bag to help protect your velcro and bamboo cases in the wash.
Sizing
We are bringing our standard twin sized (20"x26") pillowcases to you. We wanted to also add King & Queen sized pillowcases to our inventory.
1. King Sized Pillowcases (20" x 36")
2. Queen Sized Pillowcases (20" x 30")
What We Need & What You Get
We are asking for $5,000 to keep our production line both ongoing & growing.
This money will allow us to produce and ship standard sized pillowcases. The hope is to bring our next product line to fruition through our first and second stretch goals, the king & queen sized pillowcases.
The Impact
More than trying to sell a product, we are trying to change the way pillowcases are both perceived and used. For travel, hosting company, and nightly usage these pillowcases are aimed at providing a soft, clean sleeping surface every night.
Ultimately, the goal of our product is to get our products into retail stores & on amazon prime. By backing our project, you help us demonstrate sales numbers to these larger companies.
Perhaps most importantly, these pillowcases have the potential to be effectively used in hotels, hospitals, and third world countries/disaster relief with their patented, easy-to-change design and antibacterial fabric.
Risks & Challenges
We have worked once with our manufacturer on this same project in order to fix any kinks that may occur in a second run.
Though this run may have its own challenges. For instance, we may have to change our packaging of stretch goals due to the larger size of king/queen pillow cases, This may add unexpected costs and and delays if this is the case.
Shipping international is a fun game. A game I like to win, but nonetheless it can add unexpected costs and delays with customs. If our same fulfillment center goes to plan, however, we hope to not have any problems shipping international.
