Human sleep is such a mysterious and unknown phenomenon that for many scientists it becomes the work of their whole lives, about which they write treatises, conduct long-term scientific debates, and hold symposia. If we don't talk about some individual characteristics body, then any insignificant detail can disrupt sleep, for example, an uncomfortable bed, a light that is left on, lumps on a sheet or blanket, and much more that can poison one’s existence.

Choosing a way to solve the problem

If there are any serious sleep disorders, then you need to contact a professional. And when the problem lies on the surface, you can try to solve it yourself. Many people succeed in this. First, you need to analyze the state in which you go to bed every day.

If you get just a little nervous, you can become a hostage to your fears and worries, which will definitely disturb your sleep. The next morning a terrible thing awaits you headache, which can also affect your appearance. Relatives and colleagues may raise questions related to your circles under the eyes.

Your bed plays an important role in creating good deep sleep. Everything should be such that you can feel like a master in your bedroom, and not a slave acting to please fashion trends. Everyone knows that there is nothing more pleasant and comfortable than a down pillow and blanket.

They retain heat excellently, which is good in winter time when it’s cold around but warm in the bed. In addition, they are so comfortable and pleasant that it would be a crime to part with them. The production of pillows and duvets from down is still a fairly popular business today.

Exist different kinds blankets, you need to choose a specific one to start its production. The main difference between these products is the filler, which determines ease of use and the heat generated. Each consumer chooses the type of blanket that suits him best, and you, as a manufacturer, need to navigate the modern needs of customers in order to start manufacturing the product.

Duvet

This type is the warmest and lightest, because down is natural filler. A duvet has very good thermoregulation, so it is not hot under it in summer and warm in winter. Despite the fact that fluff is treated with anti-allergenic impregnations, people suffering from severe allergies should refrain from such a purchase. Manufacturing duvets is the most complex process.

Blanket

If you choose the production of such products, you should know that they are characterized by almost all the advantages of down products, but are heavier. However, this point depends on consumer preferences. And the lanolin content in wool blankets makes them healthy.

Cotton blanket

The advantage of such products is low price, hypoallergenic and good warming properties. The disadvantages include the tendency to absorb odors and reduced durability. However, many consumers choose just such products for themselves, so it makes sense to produce them.

Synthetic blanket

Now there are quite a lot of fillers of synthetic origin on the market, but their properties are not very different. Currently, polyester has become the most popular filler. Blankets made from it are easy to use, they can be washed in a machine, they are warm enough and do not tend to absorb odors. Due to poor thermoregulation, such blankets can be a real punishment for the consumer, since when the house is cold or hot, it will be uncomfortable under it.

Basic moments

Of course, you can start your own business in the production of products filled with down, but this moment There are also alternatives such as padding polyester and holofiber. These are very simple and fairly cheap bedding fillers. The production of pillows and blankets using these fillings can be very profitable. Gradually you will be able to receive tangible income.

So, if you decide to start producing pillows and blankets, you should first register legal side question. Only after receiving permission to organize entrepreneurial activity, you can count on peace of mind. After this, you can open and equip your workshop without fear of receiving any fines.

What is necessary?

To open a workshop in which the production of blankets and pillows will be carried out, you will need a room whose area is one hundred twenty to one hundred thirty square meters. It should have good electrical wiring, as well as a place to store raw materials. The current rules require the mandatory presence of a bathroom and washbasin.

You can start producing blankets and pillows if you have specifications registered with the state standardization department. You can compose them yourself, using acceptable technical conditions as a basis.

Pillows

Blankets are meant to simply keep you warm. There is a more important attribute for sleep. The production of pillows is a very important activity, since it is this attribute that can turn relaxation into pleasure or torture. The filling for them can be the same materials as for blankets. Consumer preferences in this case are also very different. Some people buy small pillows that only fit their heads, but for some it is important that the pillow be huge and warm. If your business is the production of pillows, then hotels and inns can serve as distribution points in this case. The main thing is to find an approach to the management of these institutions.

Bulky pillows and thick wool blankets are gradually losing their popularity. Traditional natural materials, which have certain disadvantages, have given way to more modern raw materials, as well as cheap synthetic fillers, which have many advantages. As a result, the process of manufacturing bedding has been significantly simplified and automated, which has reduced the costs of organizing your own production.

The textile business in our country is a profitable investment. Bed linen has always been in high demand. Blankets and pillows are purchased by all people, regardless of their financial situation. These products, unlike other textile products, do not depend on fashion trends, which allows you to avoid extra costs to involve designers in its development. Major changes may only affect the bedding filling, which does not require modernization of production equipment. According to research data, the textile industry produces about 40% of the total volume of industrial products.

To create a sewing production for the production of bedding, you will need a room with an area of ​​​​about 100-150 square meters. meters. Keep in mind that blankets and pillows are quite large, although lightweight, goods, so in addition to the workshop, you will need separate premises for storing finished products and consumables.

Of all the bedding products, duvets are the most difficult to produce. As a rule, blankets are purchased for a long time, so consumers have strict requirements for their quality. Presented on the Russian market wide choose blankets that differ in season (lightweight summer, demi-season for autumn and spring, insulated winter), density, size (children's, one-and-a-half, double), filler. Blanket sizes may vary depending on the standards adopted in a particular country.

For example, in our country there are double blankets of the following sizes: euro (200 x 220 cm), which is most common throughout the world, “English” or “Soviet” size (175 x 205 cm), which is very popular in our country, euro-maxi or king - size (220 x240 cm). Slightly less common are double blankets measuring 180 x 210 cm. In Germany and Italy, for example, the most common are square blankets measuring 200 x 200 cm. Standard sizes one and a half blankets - 143 x 215 cm and 150 x 200 cm. Children's blankets are produced in sizes 110 x 140 cm, and blankets for newborns have a size of 120 x 120 cm. In addition, models of non-traditional shapes and sizes can be found on sale - round, oval various diameters. But in most cases they are made to order, since they are only suitable for certain beds.

The assortment of a blanket manufacturer should include models for different seasons. For example, summer blankets are the lightest. Demi-season ones are a little warmer. They are used in the spring and autumn seasons. Winter blankets are considered the warmest. Often such models are labeled depending on their warming properties. For example, one dot could represent lightweight blankets for warmer seasons, and five dots for colder ones. The warming qualities of a product depend on the density and type of material from which it is made. And the latter determines the price of the product.

The following types of blankets are distinguished: blankets with open wool (from tanned skins, winter and summer wool blankets and blankets), blankets with filling (cashmere, camel, merino, silk, double silk, fur and lyocell), synthetic blankets (polyester, polyester, acrylic).

The most common blankets in our country are filled blankets. And the most expensive among them are cashmere products, which are made from rare natural material collected by hand. Cashmere fabric is pleasant to the touch, retains heat well, does not cause allergies and is practical to use. In second place are “closed” blankets with camel hair. This raw material consists of coarse hairs and soft undercoat. To make bedding, both harder wool (usually sheared from adult animals) and softer wool with a large admixture of fluff is used (it is collected from non-working camel calves, and it costs much more than hard wool). The camel hair is first combed and then quilted with a top and bottom layer of fabric. In both cases, the creation of one blanket requires a lot of wool, which causes its high cost. The advantages of such products lie in their good warming qualities. Merino sheep wool blankets are no less warm and slightly less light, and they are cheaper than camel wool blankets.

The technology of thermal bonding of wool is often used in the production of wool blankets. The raw material is coarser wool, which costs less than fluff. It is mixed with synthetic bristles. Then the resulting layer is driven between two heated shafts. Under the influence of high temperature, the synthetic material melts and reliably “glues” the wool fibers together, turning the base into a layer of wool. Some manufacturers save on natural wool and make blankets using thermal bonding technology, which, for the most part, consist of synthetics.

Duvets are made from natural down of white or greylag geese, ghagra or duck down. The most stringent requirements are imposed on down products. They must fully comply with Russian GOSTs. To produce down bedding, raw materials are first collected. The down of white geese is more valuable, since these birds live in cold regions and have thicker plumage.

For the production of high-price products, pure goose down from intravital plucking without any admixture of small feathers is used. Once the raw materials are collected, they are sorted by lint content and sometimes color, and cleaned. During the pre-cleaning process, hard flight feathers and remnants of wing liner, crushed feathers and feathers without awns are removed from the raw material.

The sorted feather is washed, treated with an antistatic agent and disinfected in a special solution. It includes shampoos for washing feather raw materials, which remove fat and prevent feathers from matting. They are then rinsed, spun in a centrifuge and dried in a damper at a temperature of about 90 degrees Celsius. This is necessary in order to remove all living organisms from the birds' plumage, pathogenic viruses and bacteria. This stage is carried out extremely quickly, since the pen cannot withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures and may deteriorate. Immediately from the cooling chamber, the feathers are sent to sorting, where they are divided into fractions. On modern production this process is automated.

Then the batch of raw materials undergoes laboratory technical control, as a result of which the quality of the filler is checked. The proportions in which it is mixed are determined by GOST requirements. After sorting, the finished mixture, tested by specialists, enters the filling shop for filling into cases. Small manufacturing companies prefer to purchase ready-made mixtures from suppliers, do not conduct laboratory quality control of the filling of their products, and save money on rent by renting a room of a smaller area.

The duvet cover is made from natural strong fabrics that allow air to pass through and absorb moisture. On the other hand, they prevent fluff from getting out of the case. Most often, such covers are sewn from satin, knitwear, cotton with the addition of lyocell, cambric, silk or jacquard using a special stitch with an internal edging that prevents fluff from penetrating outward. After filling the covers, the almost finished blanket is sent to sewing production.

According to the sewing method, the following types of blankets are distinguished, which do not depend on the type of filling: cassette, quilted and carostep. The most reliable are blankets with cassette type assemblies, which, as mentioned above, are stitched together in separate sections (cassettes). Each cassette with filler is isolated from the rest, which allows you to hold the “contents” without letting them lose their shape or bunch up inside the case. Karostep finishing, at first glance, looks like a pattern or decorative pattern on the surface of the blanket, which is why it is also often called patterned stitch.

The main disadvantage of this sewing method is that the filler can come out through the holes that remain on the fabric after the needles. The quilt is quilted using special machines, which prevents it from bunching up at the corners. There are two main methods of quilting: square stitches and parallel stitches. A blanket quilted in the form of squares is considered to be of higher quality and more durable than a product quilted with parallel stitches. On last stage blankets are packed in thick polyethylene bags, where labels are also included, and sent to the warehouse.

Natural and environmentally friendly fillers such as bamboo or eucalyptus fiber are becoming increasingly popular. These materials are highly breathable, absorb moisture, are hypoallergenic, do not collect dust, have antistatic and antibacterial properties and increased wear resistance. Of course, bamboo fiber (like eucalyptus fiber) is not extracted from the plant in its pure form.

First, the soft core is extracted from the stem, which is successively treated with steam and pressure, resulting in cellulose. For production, only unprocessed bamboo no older than 3-4 years is used. The resulting cellulose is processed into yarn, from which bamboo is woven. To sew covers for inexpensive blankets, including those with bamboo filling, teak is used - a dense plain-weave fabric that does not allow the filling to migrate outward. In more expensive types of blankets, satin is more often used - fabric with diagonal threads and less often other, more exotic types of fabrics (for example, from the same bamboo fiber).

Another natural material, which is used to fill pillows and blankets, is silk. You can list its advantages for a long time, including hypoallergenicity, wrinkle resistance, the ability to prevent the formation of fungus, the proliferation of pathogenic microbes and dust mites, etc. The only drawback of silk as a filler is its high price. As a rule, two types of silk fiber (mulberry) are used for bedding - mulberry and tussah. Strictly speaking, only the Mulberry variety can be called true mulberry silk. This mulberry has three quality classes A, B and C. The best material is class A, which is also called long-fiber mulberry silk.

Sometimes the mulberry of the wild silkworm, which lives in natural conditions. This type of silk is called tussa. The cocoons of this silkworm are reddish-brown in color and require bleaching, as a result of which the structure of the silk is disrupted and its best qualities are lost.

High-quality silk blankets are made by hand. First, small pieces of silk are stretched to the right size, and then layers of fabric are laid on them crosswise. A Euro-maxi size summer blanket weighing 1200 grams requires about 50 layers of silk fabric. Long-fiber, evenly laid silk forms a homogeneous, strong mass that is sewn to the blanket cover. Quilted silk blankets are cheaper because they are filled, as a rule, with Tussa silk, and are sewn not by hand, but by machine.

Synthetic blankets, unlike wool and down products, are hypoallergenic, durable, lightweight and compact. They are made from cheap materials, which results in their low retail price. But there are also disadvantages. Sintepon, which is often used as a filler for blankets, does not fall off or form lumps. However, this material is practically non-hygroscopic and does not allow air to pass through easily. The body does not “breathe” under such a blanket, and you can only sleep under it in very cold rooms. New generation polyester material (holofiber, comforel) is more expensive than padding polyester, but supports well temperature regime allowing air to pass through and not accumulating dust.

One of the main specialists in the production of such products is a technologist. The process of making high-quality pillows and blankets has many nuances, and it is very difficult to find masters of their craft. Therefore, most companies abandon the idea of ​​organizing a full production cycle, purchasing ready-made raw materials externally. They themselves only sew covers for the products, fill them and pack them.

To produce bedding you will need special equipment. You may need cutting tables or installations, edging equipment, a work table for hooping blankets, a machine for cutting tape, for finishing edges, for rewinding fabric at an angle of 45 degrees, programmable quilting machines for blankets, machines for processing polyester fiber into filling for pillows and blankets, dispensers for the production of duvets, bactericidal installations for down and feather pillows, sorting machines for the production of down, dispenser for filling duvets, line for the production of blanket layer, packaging machines, etc.

Exact list necessary equipment depends on the types of products you will produce. You can purchase both new and used equipment. The minimum set for the production of 2-3 types of products will cost 1 million rubles. sewing machines for the manufacture of bedding is produced in Russia, China and Europe.

In addition, it is possible to purchase already ready business for tailoring products. For example, the production of mattresses, pillows and bed linen with a promised monthly profit of 300 thousand rubles and an average monthly turnover of 3 million rubles with a total staff of 20 people is offered for sale at a price of about 10 million rubles. This production facility has lines for the production of blankets, pillows, mattresses, cutting equipment, sewing machines and overlockers. The rented area for such a workshop is about 350 sq. m. meters at a rental cost of 40 thousand rubles per month plus monthly utility bills in the amount of 10 thousand rubles. The wage fund for a staff of 20 people is 150 thousand rubles per month. The production of bedding only (without mattresses) will cost 1.5-2 million less. However, with such production volumes, it is recommended to produce not only blankets and pillows, but also to sew bed linen, including sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, mattress covers, etc. In this case, the payback period for production with high profitability of up to 50% is about three years.

As part of a comprehensive study by Roskachestvo, the parameters of product quality and safety were studied 27 brands pillows These are products under the trademarks AlViTek, Asabella, Belashoff, Comfort Line, Dream Time, Dargez, Ecotex, German Grass, Green Line, IKEA, Kariguz, Mona Liza, Nature's, Ol-Tex, Primavelle, Sortex, Togas House of Textiles , Verossa, A "Elite, Horizon, Every day, Light dreams, Lazyboka, Podushkino, Pierrot, Samson, TekStyle. The study involved the most popular pillows among Russians, with and without covers, filled with synthetic fibers, as well as mixtures of such fibers with artificial fibers. Pillows of all price categories, produced both in Russia and abroad, were tested. The cost of the products participating in the test ranged from 150 to 4,000 rubles at the time of purchase. But which pillows are best to buy?

Russian quality system standard

The Roskachestvo standard, in comparison with the current GOST, has stricter parameters for the linear dimensions of the product, the content of free formaldehyde and paint resistance to various influences. In addition, the Roskachestvo standard included additional quality indicators by which the samples presented in the fan study were assessed. These indicators are: specific surface area electrical resistance and change in linear dimensions after wet processing upper fabric, no noticeable odor of the product.

The required level of production localization for awarding a product with the Russian Quality Mark is at least 45% of the cost of the product.

Neutral, acidic or alkaline?

Everyone known value pH from advertising characterizes acidity or alkalinity aqueous solution. A pH level of 5.0 to 7.5 units is considered safe for human skin. If the deviation is higher, we can talk about an increased content of alkali in the solution, and if the deviation is lower, it means acid. Until recently, the pH level for bedding was not standardized in any way by current standards in Russia. For the first time, the Roskoshestvo standard puts forward such requirements for pillows, since these products regularly and for a long time (on average, sleep lasts 7–8 hours) come into contact with the delicate skin of the face. In order to establish the pH level in the fabrics of the upper of the product, experts in the laboratories obtained an aqueous extract from each sample. As a result of the research, a pH deviation from the requirements of the increased Roskachestvo standard was revealed in six products. In each of the identified cases, the pH value exceeded 7.5 units, which indicated increased alkalinity of the aqueous extracts of the products under study.

One product was found not to meet the advanced standards. We are talking about pillows from the Dargez brand, in which an elevated pH level was detected. Despite the fact that this indicator is not standardized in any way by law, it is provided for by the Roskachestvo standard.

During laboratory tests, the following were also determined in each of the samples: the toxicity index of materials, indicators of color fastness to various influences, odor intensity and the presence of free formaldehyde in fabrics. According to the results of the study, these parameters in all samples were within normal limits.

Smoking is harmful

“Smoking in bed is a cause of fire.” This simple rule in Russia is included in any brochure on fire safety. At the same time, the fire resistance of bedding is not regulated in any way by the standards in force in the country. Roskachestvo, also for the first time in Russia, introduced such a requirement in its own standard. The study of the flammability of products was carried out within the framework of the so-called “cigarette test”. During this test, a lit cigarette was placed on a pillow and contact lasted for 7 seconds. If during this time the fabric did not ignite, the test was considered passed. Successful completion This test was demonstrated by almost all pillows participating in the study. Only one sample produced in China failed the fire test. The pillow caught fire quickly enough to receive the status of a “highly flammable” product, which means it did not meet the increased standard of Roskachestvo.

Sleep hygiene

The hygroscopicity index is responsible for the sleep microclimate; it determines the ability of products to absorb moisture. In the case of pillows, low scores on this parameter will lead to a person waking up with a wet or damp head, which is unpleasant, unhygienic and even unsafe for health. The hygroscopicity indicator of top fabrics for pillows, as well as for top fabrics of blankets, was tightened by Roskachestvo by one and a half times. Most of the samples presented, with the exception of one product, met these increased requirements. But based on the results of independent laboratory tests, experts called branded products unsafe products whose indicators are lower not only than the Roskachestvo standard, but also the mandatory indicators of technical regulations Podushkino, Pierrot, Every day.

Effective area

The dimensions of the pillows and the aspect ratio are not regulated in any way by the current technical regulations. That is, the manufacturer can produce pillows of any size under one condition: information about linear dimensions products on the labeling of such products must be reliable. Otherwise, consumers will face problems when "packing" the pillow into a pillowcase. Moreover, these difficulties can also arise when the actual size of the product differs from the declared size by only 1–2 centimeters. Manufacturers of the following products incorrectly indicated the dimensions of their products: AlViTek, Belashoff, Comfort Line, Ecotex, Ol-Tex, Podushkino, Pierrot, Every day, IKEA. In some cases, the deviation on one side was 3 centimeters. Obviously, with such a discrepancy, the pillow will “walk” freely in the pillowcase or will not fit into it, which is unlikely to please consumers. All detected facts of non-compliance with the declared sizes are regarded as a violation of the rights of consumers to reliable labeling of goods.

AFTER REPEATED STUDY

Pillows of the AlViTek Belashoff and IKEA brands, the actual sizes of which, according to the results of the previous study, differed from those indicated in the labeling, now correspond to the declared sizes.

100% natural lie

Today, pillow fillings include various natural, artificial and synthetic materials. People sleep on products “stuffed” with latex, buckwheat husks, medicinal herbs, hay and even algae. Let us remind you that the Roskachestvo study involved pillows filled with synthetic fibers - this is the most popular category of products among Russians. It has many advantages: for example, such pillows are hypoallergenic and relatively cheap. It is worth noting that recently consumers are increasingly paying attention to products that are sold in covers - they are more convenient to wash. These covers, in turn, just like pillows, have their own filling and top fabric. According to the laws in force in Russia, the manufacturer must accurately indicate the composition of all “components” of the product. As a result, differences from the real composition were found in products of the following brands: Comfort Line, Ecotex, Green Line, Horizon, TekStil, A"Elite, Sortex, Verossa, Samson. Some of these manufacturers have proven to be particularly resourceful. So, sample packaging under the brand name Green Line“promised” that the filling of the cover would consist of 90% natural fibers, in reality it consisted of 100% polyester fibers. Also made from 100% polyester fibers was the filling of the Horizon pillow, billed as “made from 100% wool.” Manufacturer Sortex The labeling of its product stated that the filling of the cover was made of 50% cotton. Reality - 100% polyester fiber. All indicated facts can be considered a violation of consumer rights to reliable labeling. Information about each identified case of falsification was sent to the relevant control authorities.

AFTER REPEATED STUDY

Ecotex pillows, which were previously found to have discrepancies in labeling not only in the declared sizes, but also in the raw material composition textile materials, included in the pillow, have also been corrected.

The vast majority of the items studied had so-called “fantasy names.” The products were called “Linen”, “Linen and Cotton”, “C sheep wool", "Merino" (breed of sheep), etc. As a rule, “prints” (photo collages and drawings) on such pillows were used with corresponding images and images of plants or animals. In fact, all samples presented in the study were filled with polyester fibers, which have nothing to do with either wool or linen. Roskoshestvo recommends that buyers carefully study the information about the composition of the product and pay less attention to bright packaging. Although sometimes even the specified composition does not guarantee that the product will actually be made from the “promised” materials.

• The market volume for the production of down and feather pillows is more than 15 million dollars
• Business profitability is estimated at 50%
• One kilogram of down feather costs an average of 250 rubles
• The average European person changes their pillow every three years. A Russian resident does this much less often.

Anyone who wants to organize their own business producing pillows will have to mentally prepare for the fact that serious financial losses at the start of the business cannot be avoided. The most common mistake beginners make is choosing high-quality raw materials. Disinfection, washing, sorting, repeated rinsing, drying - all these operations must go through the ingredients of the future pillow. And if at any stage the standards were not met, then there will be no quality pillow. It’s easy to check the quality of the down filling: just hit the pillow. If there is dust, then no one washed the raw materials...

Equipment

The need for this or that equipment depends on the scale of production and the size of the start-up capital. For just 40,000 rubles you can purchase an installation for cleaning and producing pillows and featherbeds. Similar offers can be found on Avito. The installation can remove dust and foreign matter from the pen (sand, stones, needles, etc.). Additionally, you only need sewing machine for sewing covers. If you find sales for a small volume of products, you can start a small business even at home.

A serious business in the production of down and feather pillows requires large investments. The purchase of equipment alone will require at least 100 thousand dollars. The mandatory package includes an ozonation chamber for disinfecting feathers, a mini-laboratory for determining the quality indicators of raw materials, a washing machine for washing feathers, a drying chamber, a cooler, sorting chambers, sewing machines, storage machines for pillow stuffing, scales, blowing machines, auxiliary equipment and supplies.

Such equipment requires a room of up to 300 square meters. m. It is necessary to separately place warehouses for raw materials and finished products, a laboratory for analysis, a production workshop (washing and drying feathers), a sewing workshop, staff premises, and an office.

Technology

The production of down and feather pillows is quite complex technologically. The most difficult thing has to be done at the stage of preparing and processing the future pillow filling.

This is how the process of receiving and processing raw materials is structured at the Kariguz enterprise. First, the raw materials arrive at the enterprise. Feathers are purchased in the northern regions: there they are of higher quality, since in northern latitudes birds have thicker plumage and are less susceptible to various diseases.

After receiving, the raw materials are weighed and transferred to a sealed ozonation chamber for disinfection. Then it goes to the laboratory and for veterinary control, where the quality indicators of the raw materials are assessed. If the bird was sick, the feather should not be used. If everything is in order, then the raw materials are sent for primary processing.

Next, the pen is washed. This is necessary in order to eliminate odors, dirt and other impurities from the pillow filling. The washing cycle lasts at least 2 hours, during which the machine washes approximately 60 kg of raw materials.

After washing, the raw materials are thoroughly wrung out and placed in a drying chamber. There, the feather is subjected to thermal antimicrobial treatment at a temperature of 130 degrees Celsius. After drying chamber, the raw materials are cooled and sent for sorting. Feathers are sorted in special plywood machines. By using air flow Large, medium, small feathers and down are separated.

In parallel with the preparation of the filling, pillow covers are made in the sewing shop, leaving a hole on one side through which they are stuffed with down and feathers.

The finished feather of the same fraction enters the storage machine. This is where the pillow stuffing takes place. The cover is attached to special pipe, leading to the storage machine. The dispenser scales set the weight of the filler, and the feather begins to flow into the case through the pipeline. Filling stops when the required weight is recorded on the scales.

The pillow is then weighed and handed over to the seamstress to sew up the hole. At the final stage, the product is placed in a blower to remove fluff from the surface of the pillow. Packaged pillows are sent to the finished goods warehouse and sold to wholesale buyers. Blankets are produced using similar technology.

Investments

Estimated costs for starting a business producing down and feather pillows include:

• Deposit for renting premises (300 sq. m.) – 120,000 rubles.
• Purchase of main equipment – ​​RUB 6,000,000.
• Acquisition auxiliary equipment, office equipment and inventory - 500,000 rubles.
• Purchase of raw materials and materials – 200,000 rubles.
• Advertising – 100,000 rubles.
• Business registration and other organizational expenses – RUB 150,000.

Total – 7,070,000 rubles.

Not just fluff and feathers...

Another direction is the production of pillows for pregnant women, nursing mothers and babies. It's no secret that everything related to small children and pregnancy costs big money. And the high price is due to the increased demand for such products. It would seem ordinary orthopedic pillow on a synthetic filler, and costs 2,500 rubles.

The main condition for the success of such a business is the presence of a competent technologist and designer. Appearance The pillow should not just be unusual, but have a special configuration that will be useful and convenient for the future owner. The most common material for manufacturing similar pillows- holofiber. It is lightweight, retains its shape perfectly, does not lose its qualities after washing and does not require special care.

Such production can be organized even without having large areas and expensive equipment. And sales points for products can be hundreds of private stores selling products for mothers and babies or an online store. Certain difficulties here can arise only when obtaining the appropriate certificates for products.
