The Anti-Vomiting Pillow was inspired by the common issue of gastroesophageal reflux in babies, whose digestive systems are not fully developed. This can often lead to vomiting if the baby is laid down immediately after feeding. The pillow's unique design elevates the cardia through a slope, preventing vomiting and reducing the risk of choking.
What sets the Anti-Vomiting Pillow apart is its unique elevating mechanism. The pillow can be adjusted according to the baby's needs by changing the number of interior pads. This feature not only prevents reflux but also ensures the baby's comfort. Additionally, the pillow acts as a 'bed within a bed', preventing mothers from accidentally rolling over their babies when sharing a bed.
The pillow is made with a customized polyurethane interior and coconut fiber mats, ensuring elasticity and comfort. The exterior pillowcase is made of COOLMAX fabric, known for its moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties. The pillow measures 450 mm x 800 mm x 200 mm, making it a perfect fit for most cribs and beds.
The Anti-Vomiting Pillow was designed in Shanghai and launched on iyun based in Tmall in April 2019. An upgraded version was launched on imomoto based in Tmall in October 2021. The design process involved extensive research into the digestive systems of newborns and the common issue of gastroesophageal reflux. The main challenge faced by the designers was to create a product that could adjust to the varying needs of babies at different stages of development.
The Anti-Vomiting Pillow has been recognized for its innovative design and functionality. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in 2022, a prestigious accolade given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation. The award recognizes the pillow's strong technical characteristics, artistic skill, and its ability to evoke positive feelings and amazement.
