Filling and user testing

A multitude of different filling materials of different sizes, shapes and weights were used to fill a standard op and tested with users. Notable materials included memory foam balls and expanded polystyrene beads (among many others). Evaluations discussed comfort, heat, weight, noise and cost. A smaller expanded polystyrene ball was decided upon for implementation across all product lines.

Production refinement and pattern making

The design was further developed through discussions with the manufacturers to optimize the production time. We even developed a "filling machine" with the manufacturers specifically for filling the pillows with our beads. 

Pre production model

A pre production model was manufactured, tweaked and the design signed off.
