How we recommend the Ergo-Star. Why we are confident in promoting the Ergo-Star. ERGO-STARThe single long size Ergo-Starcomforter, using Endless Fiber Sheet technology, became the first product in the bedding industry to ever win the coveted 2002 Good Design Gold Award .The Good Design Awards are awarded each year by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization to superior design products spanning all industries. Past awardwinners have included products from nearly every field, from buildings, automobiles and electronic products to office equipment and furniture items. The Good Design Awards, however, do not merely recognize lovely design. Products chosen must also meet the requirement that they, in some way, contribute to the improvement of our lives as we live them. Products are strictly judged from the perspective of overall value. Hence, this Gold Award not only recognizes the design value of the Ergo-Star, but also its functionality, its conceptualization, its pricing value and its environmental impact. This marks the first time in the history of the Good Design Awards that a comforter has ever won an award.
