Sixteenth-century British dramatist Thomas Dekker said,” Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together,” while the Dalai Lama said, “Sleep is the best meditation.”

It is no longer a debate as to whether getting a good night’s sleep can help people regain their energy and refresh their minds. In fact, one-third of a person’s daily life is composed of resting on a bed. Therefore, it is crucial to sleep comfortably because it affects your health.

There are all sorts of health and technology products on the market that can help people take a nap or sleep at night. From radios and mobile applications to wearables and sound-proof design rooms, more and more consumers seek to sleep without distractions.

Some just prefer to relax through traditional methods relying only on a comfortable bed and pillow. Kanuda, based in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, offers healing pillows that can help people not only sleep better but also correct their posture while taking a rest.

Sold over 60 billion won via a home shopping network over the last three years, Kanuda’s functional and therapeutic pillows are considered health products that can improve the physical alignment of necks and backs.

Its products have won recognition at local science and technology fairs, winning best brand awards since 2012. Kanuda also offers its therapeutic pillows at welfare centers across the country as part of its social contribution program.

The company originally started in a physical therapy department at a medical clinic at a small village in Jungmun, Jejudo Island, in 2005. It sought to develop a pillow that can help people manage their health. It sells its premium products at its flagship store in Cheongdam-dong in southern Seoul, as well as at duty free shops and shopping malls.
