About Lazygoose’s Kickproof Dekbed
Kickproof is een dekbed ontworpen voor schoolgaande kinderen tussen de drie en twaalf jaar oud. De stiksels volgen de contouren van een kinderlichaam, en het schoudergedeelte is dikker gevuld om te voorkomen dat warme lucht ontsnapt. Een X-vormige binnenstructuur zorgt voor een zachte, neerwaartse weerstand, waardoor de neiging om het dekbed tijdens de slaap weg te schoppen wordt verminderd. Een verbrede visstaartopening laat ruimte voor vrije beenbeweging. De vulling bestaat uit een zachte vezel die lijkt op donsveren, en de stof is behandeld tegen bacteriën en is machinewasbaar.

- Unique Properties
- The lazygoose’s kickproof quilt with type-X structure is designed for school-age children. It conforms to the special quilting technology of children's ergonomics, combined with the type-X microgravity structure to fit the body and appropriately increase the resistance to prevent air leakage on both sides.The widened fishtail space design prevents the skin from being exposed outside by kicking the quilt with both feet, and provides comprehensive protection for children during sleep.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 120cm*150cm/150*200cm/200*230cm

- Production Technology
- The product is filled with Germany Soft Fiber, a new insulation filling material close to down. The round and small collection of fiber balls is very similar to the form of down cluster. which can lock the heat in the bulging air pack to keep a constant temperature. It can recognize fluffy material and is breathable.The fabric is Swiss Sanitized® antibacterial material, fearless of sweat stains, and it can be washed in the washing machine, solving the health problems of children's bedding.
- Design Challenge
- Designers found that not fitting the curve of the shoulder and neck tends to cause wind leakage. So we fill parts of shoulders with extra insulation material to increase the thickness and ensure warmth. Children's skin is more sensitive, the products made of common down may cause allergy. Choosing safe materials ensures excellent performance. After comparison and selection, we chose Germany Soft Fiber with high fluffiness and insulation performance of natural goose down as the filling material.
- Research
- According to the data from Japan Children's Sleep Research Association, children turn over and kick the quilt more frequently than adults during sleep, almost twice as often as adults.And because of the poor autonomy of children,they are more likely to catch cold during sleep, which affects their health. By studying children's sleeping habits, the researchers have studied the kickproof quilt according to children’s ergonomic structure.
- Inspiration
- Children’s metabolism is more vigorous than that of adults. They are prone to sweating, dreamy and active during sleep.The heavy and inappropriate quilt will make children feel muggy、restless and uncomfortable. Therefore, they often turn over or even kick the quilts, which is easy to lead to colds, chills and other diseases. But the thin quilt can’t give children the warmth they need.In order to give children a comfortable sleep environment, reduce the phenomenon of kicking quilts during sleep
- Project Duration
- The project started research in Japan in November 2019, completed design in Hangzhou, China in April 2020, and launched in China in July 2020.
- Operation Flow
- The part of shoulders and both sides are specially quilted to fit the curve of children aged 3-12, and we have thickened the parts of shoulders to give children more care. The type-X structure releases "micro-gravity" inward to increase the resistance to kicking appropriately. Excessive restraint inhibits the growth of children's bones, and the widened fishtail space can accommodate the free movement of their legs. Even if the child is kicked, he will not leave the bed to avoid catching cold.
