A new cool comforter, the "Gokuryo premiumEX cool comforter," is now on sale through online retailers. Developed by tobest, the product combines high-level contact-cooling fabric with temperature-regulating capsule technology, aiming to keep sleepers comfortable through Japan's hot and humid summer nights.
Crowdfunding Success Before General Release
Before its general release, the comforter was sold through the crowdfunding platform Makuake, where it raised a total of 7,603,000 yen in pre-orders. The product has since been updated and is now available to the public.
Q-MAX0.55 Cooling Fabric
The outer fabric features a contact-cooling rating of Q-MAX0.55, exceeding what is typically found in standard cooling bedding. The cooling sensation resets each time the sleeper turns over, so a fresh cool feeling is restored with every new contact.
Temperature Control Across Three Seasons
A common issue with cooling bedding is that it can feel too cold when nighttime temperatures drop or as the season changes. The "Gokuryo premiumEX cool comforter" addresses this with "Gokuryo BEYOND COOL" temperature-regulating capsules in the fill material. These capsules gradually moderate temperature changes during sleep, making the comforter usable from the rainy season through early autumn — covering roughly three seasons.
Four-Layer Construction
The comforter uses a four-layer construction that balances cooling performance with moisture management and a soft texture. This design helps prevent stuffiness on warm, humid nights while maintaining a smooth feel against the skin.
Reversible Design for Different Conditions
The comforter is reversible, with a cooling fabric side for hot summer nights and a natural material side for milder weather. This allows the same comforter to be used comfortably over a longer stretch of the year.
Easy to Care For
The fill is treated with antibacterial, deodorizing, and anti-mite processing. The comforter is also machine washable, making it easy to keep clean with regular use.
