Market Gap

No TPU Competitor Exists

No domestic TPU inflatable brand exists. Current market dominated by PVC imports from other Chinese manufacturers with no material IP.

Ideal Partner Profile

Outdoor equipment retailer or distributor with connections to camping shops, Amazon Japan, or Rakuten.

Material Technology

8 Reasons TPU Beats PVC

Self-developed material + self-developed pump — a vertically integrated advantage no competitor can replicate

100% Eco-Friendly

TPU is fully recyclable with zero plasticizers, no phthalates, and no chemical smell. Meets REACH, RoHS, and California Prop 65 standards.

Extreme Durability

80 N/mm tear strength — 3x stronger than PVC. Resistant to abrasion, puncture, and UV degradation. 8-12 year lifespan.

30% Lighter

Same strength at 30% less weight than PVC. A king-size mattress weighs just 8 kg — easy to carry, pack, and ship.

Pet-Proof

Dogs and cats can scratch, claw, and jump on it — the TPU surface resists puncture. Perfect for pet-owning campers and households.

Zero Air Leakage

Superior TPU air retention means one inflation lasts all night — no need to top up. Every unit passes a 24-hour 10 PSI air-tightness test.

Self-Developed 2-in-1 Pump

Our proprietary electric pump inflates AND vacuum-extracts air. Core components are self-developed — not off-the-shelf parts. 60-second full inflation.

-30°C Cold Rated

TPU maintains flexibility and air seal down to -30°C where PVC cracks and fails. Proven in extreme winter camping conditions.

Ultra-Firm Support

7 PSI Drop-Stitch construction creates a rigid, flat surface that supports 500 kg. Kids can jump on it like a trampoline — firm enough for guest beds at home.
