Two college students, Yuki and Noah, created a dog bed for humans product, which is essentially an oversized dog bed that acts as a bed for people. Their idea came from the stress they felt while in school, and their observation of a great dane napping on a huge dog bed in a coffees shop. They thought, “why not that, but for people?” The entrepreneurial pair created their product with the basis of their love for entrepreneurship, dogs, and napping. An interesting fact about their product is that its been featured on popular media platforms including The Tonight Show, GMA, Fox, The Dodo, and the New York Post.
Noah and Yuki designed their bed to be especially conducive to people with ADHD and stress related anxiety issues. The product is available in 2 colors and is made with a cooling air memory foam for the mattress. You can also remove the comforter and wash it. They innovated by adding a built in pillow to the top of the bed, allowing for maximum comfort when sleeping. They also introduced an ergonomic slanted design that leads to the best sleep experience.
These innovators inspire me to in my entrepreneurial quest in that they created an awesome product based on a unique situation that they observed: the great dane sleeping in the coffee shop. This shows me that great ideas can be born out of everyday observations, and can lead to incredible products. I learned the principle of teamwork through this product, as Yuki and Noah had different backgrounds but came together to form this product.
I have seen this idea all over tiktok! The way they came up with this idea is so interesting. Most people have ideas like this but never follow through with creating a product. I had no idea that this idea has been featured on so many platforms. They seem to have put a lot of thought into how to make the product as usable as possible This is definitely a very out their product, but because of the teamwork you mentioned it has become a reality. From my understanding this product is only for pre-order right now so I am very interested to see how it does when it is available to purchase.
This is so fun! I think I have seen this around social media too. It is such a interesting idea and how it even became an idea. It really is a testament to finding innovation from anywhere or anything. I am sure they would have never imagined that they would have created a product based on the actions of a dog.
Who would have thought someone would take inspiration from a dog bed and create something for humans based on that inspiration? I feel that when it is available for purchase, the social media algorithms that helped to get their ideas out there will work in their favor again. Three unlikely interests combined to create something I’m sure many people will invest in. I can’t wait to see where this product goes.
This is an interesting concept I have seen things like this like the bean bag couches. However they made it into a bed for one of the best sleeps people can find in their life. It may not be something new specifically but they saw a idea and ran with it which is one of the best ways to start a business.
