ELEGANT CORPORATE AND HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR THE TRAVEL-SAVVY

November 11, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
Salt Lake City, UT / New York, NY (November 11, 2005) – Real comfort just became portable—in a stylish new way. The “Satori Comfort Set,” a smartly packaged “airline size” micro bead pillow in two shapes coupled with a micro polar fleece blanket takes personal coziness to an entirely new level. In fact, the “Satori” name comes from the Zen Buddhist concept of the experience of joy, feeling of well-being, calm and contentment.

· The “Satori Comfort Set” comes with a finely tailored, clear tote with an adjustable strap, complete with a pocket and identification tag, making it perfect for travel.
· The strap, easily shortened with a Velcro closure, slips over the shoulder or a luggage trolley.
· Inside, a washable personal pillow and a feather-light blanket are easily accessible.

SuAn Chow, Satori’s founder, created a sleek and comfortable design using micro beads to give neck pillows a fluid, malleable and supportive quality. The wonder beads are encased in luscious, luxurious fabrics with soft, sophisticated color palettes. Altogether, the set can completely transform time spent in a cramped airline seat into a relaxing break. Equally effective on the road or at home, the “Satori Comfort Set” is a must-have for anyone interested in combining aesthetics with ergonomics. The set is also an ideal unisex gift for business or pleasure travelers; the color-coordinated pillow and blanket combo make a sophisticated and versatile travel companion. Satori will also offer a home decorative pillow line in 2006.

Technology
The Satori line uses the finest, high-tech micro beads in its pillows. The company formulated a proprietary algorithm of bead density in relationship with the tension of the inner lining to create an ergonomically advanced pillow that exudes comfort and holds its shape. The exterior removable and washable cover is carefully crafted and designed for optimum effect and coordinates with the blankets, making for a distinctive presentation.
