Pur-Sleep CPAP Pillow (regenesis) - Free Product Trial redux

Post by SleepGuy » Mon Sep 08, 2014 9:16 am

Over the years I have had tremendous support and assistance from members of the forum in developing and improving a variety of CPAP comfort products.

The original Regensis-brand pillow was developed as a CPAP pillow because I wanted a shapeable pillow that was comfortable and supporting.

Unfortunately pillows that are comfortable aren't very supporting and their fluff / loft knocks off a cpap mask.

And sculpted, shaped pillows (papillow, Contour) just aren't comfortable (I have tried them).

The Regenesis pillow worked well as a CPAP pillow but it also worked very well as a general sleeping pillow that I have focused on the general market.

Now it's time to double down and create a branding / marketing package for the pillow that is focused on the CPAP application.

I have at least 10 units available, free of charge, for qualified testers.

It's a unique pillow with shapeable, flowable filling (consisting of natural buckwheat hulls blended with shredded foam). The current models are made with a three layer quilted (unbleached cotton) material. Some of the available units are the original rectangle "box" cut. Others are a wedge-shaped prototype with a smaller zipper on the side. Most are a new prototype with a wedge cut and zipper all across the top. The prototypes are confidential for the time being for reasons I will explain in my response email to you.

My preference is people who have or currently use a specialty CPAP pillow but if you've the type of person who has been looking for an "ideal" pillow over the years and has tried different kinds, your feedback would also be appreciated. Also, people who already use the Pur-Sleep pillow are welcome to sign up as they are already familiar with the product and can provide feedback as to the new configuration.

Several people recently contacted me to test the pillow. If that's you, you're already "in" the current beta test. I will get back to you in the next few days.

To join, please send me an email: bret@pur-sleep.com

Include: A short description of the reasons you feel you are qualified as well as a shipping address.

All information is confidential.

What I would like to accomplish:

1. Marketing materials, instructions, and photography set that is geared to CPAP application of the pillow. I would like help as to what kinds of things to include, the types of photography that would be most helpful in demonstrating the product, etc.

2. Feedback on pillow benefits and features generally.

3. Feedback on pillow functionality. Do not flatter me. I am looking for critical feedback so I can keep trying to improve the product.

4. Feedback on an explainer video script (whiteboard) relating to the pillow.

5. Feedback on how the pillow performs compared to (a) other cpap pillows; and (b) other pillows generally.

Thank you very much for your interest.

Bret

I have more inventory that's available for this feedback trial than I thought, so please contact me if you are interested in participating.

This is a free trial. It's a $60 and I will cover shipping costs.

For people outside the 48 states, shipping costs can be rather high. Feel free to contact me but I may ask you to pay the incremental shipping costs to get the product to you (UK, Canada).

I am very excited to see how this goes.

Bret

Due to a recent timing mis-calcluation on my part, I have ended up with "New Old Stock" inventory on the original pillow cut. Quite a few units.

So I am going to keep this offer open in the hopes of finding worthy homes for my already paid for inventory that I likely will not be selling....

The reason being that I have created a new design / pattern that's quite a bit better: Not that the original product was bad in any way. I want to start selling the new cut now that my continuation patent application has been filed several weeks ahead of schedule....leaving me with some old inventory.

So please contact me if you have a good faith interest in testing the product in exchange for feedback.

Bret

The products are available online.

I believe our hosts, cpap.com, carry some of his products too.

Thanks.

I took a chance before I got a reply and it turns out that I ordered the right thing from our sponsors.

Hopefully it will make things even a little bit more better.

I got one in the first go-round last year and still love it... great support and comfort, plus perfect for nearly all masks.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
