The series of textile pressure sensors are sophisticated instruments intended for determination of the pressure distribution on the surface of pillows. These sensors are incorporated all over the body of the pillow to provide real time measures as to how pressure is applied on any part of the pillow that comes in contact with the human body when in use. The main use of these sensors is to evaluate the distribution of pressure which is an important aspect that allows determining how comfortable a pillow feels for the user. From such data, manufacturers are capable of identifying the performance of various designs of pillows in light of different factors such as when a head is placed on the pillow.
These textile pressure sensors are widely used by bedding manufacturers all over the world for many applications. One of these applications is to determine the comfort and support of pillows which are very critical factors in bedding industry to verify customer satisfaction. These are relative and include such things as pressures exerted on the body, firmness and more so support which is very important for comfort during sleep. By using these sensors, the effectiveness of manufacturing products can be scientifically assessed and adjustments can be made to enhance the customers’ comfort, it may be done through changes in the fabric material used in producing the pillows or changes in the structure of the pillows.
It is also interesting that prospective new products are reviewed and controlled, apart from evaluation of current products, by these sensors. In product development, the sensors can be employed to compare different shapes, materials and ways of construction in order to find out at which design shape pressure is evenly distributed and which design gives the necessary support. This leads to the quicker timelines especially with regard to prototyping since this eliminates the need for a trial and error process.
In addition, textile pressure sensors are used in a method of confirming design ideas/In other words, it is useful tool for proving by offering realistic values. It helps to back up information that informs the case of whether a given pillow provides the required features or not and whether the same product is going to work well under average usage. These sensors help manufacturers know complied with the industry standards in comfort and support thereby producing effective pillows that will make customers happy.
