■"Reblanc," a botanical-derived botanical functional blanket born from forests

 ~Revolutionizing the bedding during sleep with a new way to care for sleep

Re." is a brand that supports the athletic activities of athletes from various fields and proposes healthy lifestyles to the general public through products that apply the science and technology of the sports world that athletes have adopted. The company has developed "ReBlanc," a blanket that regulates the environment inside the futon, focusing on technology in the field of sleep. This new concept of high-functional bedding developed for professional athletes is now available to the general public through Makuake.


Washi fibers, which have a natural effect known as "breathing paper," and Pima cotton, one of the world's three most luxurious cotton fabrics with a soft hand, are woven together to create a natural texture and superb feel on the skin. It is a high-performance bedding made of 100% natural fiber that is gentle to people and the earth, and can be used safely by delicate athletes, people with sensitive skin, and small children. In addition to the fiber performance, some of our staff members found the bedding soothing and comfortable, almost like taking a forest bath.


This all-season blanket can be used as an inner blanket in the winter to regulate a hygienic sleeping environment, or as a single blanket in the summer for comfortable performance.

Concept and Development Background

Reblanc's well-rested sleep: Sleep that promotes self-care by removing the three types of discomfort that occur during sleep.

The concept is to care for the body and mind during sleep by removing discomfort in the futon that arises from the body during sleep, just like functional innerwear worn under clothing. Reblanc is a product planned and designed to target three types of discomfort inside the futon: sustained temperature, deodorant and antibacterial hygiene, and countermeasures against stickiness and moisture from night sweats.

リブラン寝具 コンセプト

Reblanc Bedding Concept


People want to sleep as much as they do when it counts.

When we were told by an athlete that he/she wanted to sleep well every night, we launched a project to develop bedding. Top athletes who are active around the world have been greatly influenced by the recent trend toward sleeping longer, and the sports world is in need of sleep methods for efficient recovery.

Background of ReBlanc Bedding Development1


Sleep of top athletes and legends

When asked by our company, "If you could have an extra hour a day, wouldn't it be sleep? The top athletes answered, "If I could have an extra hour a day, it would be sleep.

For athletes, sleep is one of the strategies to develop themselves at an accelerated pace and transform themselves into specialists in their field.

For sleep, it is important to take personal care of one's sleep according to one's condition at the time, "physical constitution and lifestyle. We tell athletes who are struggling with sleep that they have their own winning sleep pattern and that it is important to find a sleep method that suits them.


● Sleep is important for performance.

Athletes who sleep during the waiting time before a game or during a match are not just sleeping because they are sleepy, but are taking sleep seriously and strategically in order to achieve their own performance.


リブラン寝具の開発背景2

Background of the development of ReBlanc Bedding2


Highly functional bedding was developed to support such "strategic sleep" of athletes. We commercialized the blanket with the hope that the general public would use this bedding to achieve their best performance at work and in their daily lives.

By relieving daily fatigue and creating a better sleeping environment, we support the health and productivity of busy modern people. This blanket is especially suitable for those who wish to improve the quality of their sleep.


We hope you will find a moment to free yourself from the surrounding noise and digital/information in the busy days of modern society.



Product Features.

Main features and structure of the product

The characteristic of the Japanese paper blended 60% into the blanket fabric is that the fiber itself has a porous filter structure with countless microscopic pores. Like charcoal, this structure has countless tiny cavities and a very large surface area of washi fibers. Within this vast washi fiber filter cavity, washi itself has the ability to decompose odor molecules and eliminate odors, as well as antibacterial properties that inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Performance Test Results of Reblanc Bedding

Washi fibers and Pima cotton create a fine feel on the skin.

The fiber itself stays clean and fresh, and the smooth and silky feel of hotel linen is maintained. It has a high quality feel that remains comfortable even after prolonged use.

We are particularly particular about the properties of washi, and have ordered washi for textiles from washi production areas throughout Japan, and have adopted this high-quality washi from Iyo, Ehime Prefecture, as the optimal fiber for bedding. The high quality, stable, and luxurious washi produced in Shikokuchuo City, the town of paper, was used to create a fabric with a unique texture by interweaving natural long fibers together.

A sustainable choice to protect the earth

A recyclable material that comes from nature and can be 100% returned to nature. Washi yarn/Washi cloth is also a new category of natural fiber that is beginning to be expected to follow cotton as a sustainable fiber that is safe for both people and the environment. Washi yarn/washi cloth is a blanket made of 100% natural materials, produced in Japan with the knowledge and technical expertise of professionals in the field.

Our hope is that by incorporating even a small amount of natural materials into our daily lives surrounded by digital society and concrete and wearing electronic devices, we can increase the time we spend feeling nature and being healed, and move closer to harmony between modern people and nature.
