CHALLENGES IN FURNITURE DEVELOPMENT –
WHAT I LIKE ISN’T ALWAYS COMFORTABLE,
AND WHAT IS COMFORTABLE, I DON’T ALWAYS LIKE.

Objectives and limitations of furniture developers: design trends versus ideal comfort

 

For decades, the boldest developers have sought to find the ideal balance between pampering comfort, captivating design and balancing the use of a variety of materials with practicality.

Most of the time, they are struggling with the need to keep the cost of all this at the desired level.

We often encounter the problem that what fits the current trends has a low level of comfort, and what is comfortable does not fit the defining trends.

Some prefer design, others always try to improve the comfort of the sitting and reclining surface to a higher level.

 

 

 

The number of conscious customers who refuse to choose is steadily growing. They want both perfect comfort and great design — at the same time.

This is a challenge that excites the entire industry on a global scale, and solving it would undoubtedly be a remarkable technological innovation.

EFC offers exactly that solution.

,

According to statistics, a surprisingly high percentage of potential furniture sales never materialize because the most visually appealing piece isn’t comfortable enough — or, conversely, the most comfortable one doesn’t appeal to the customer’s taste.

How much could sales increase if this problem were eliminated?

Among the many advantages of EFC comfort technology, one key benefit is precisely the resolution of this conflict. Your customers will no longer have to choose between comfort, design, and practicality — because we’ve created the key to adjustable comfort!

By integrating EFC technology, you can offer a level of comfort unlike anything else on the market.

,

WHATEVER YOU LIKE, YOU’LL ALWAYS BE AS COMFORTABLE AS YOU CHOOSE TO BE.

The efc technology provides a solution to the problem of design and comfort thanks to its adjustable pillow and mattress hardness

Adjustable-firmness mattresses have existed before, but most of them were either technically complex and expensive or allowed comfort adjustments in ways that were far from user-friendly.

Until now, regulating the softness of seating or lying surfaces meant choosing between clunky, cumbersome solutions on one end, or fully automated beds with price tags rivaling that of a small car on the other.

These technologies have failed to bring real cultural change to the furniture industry.

We needed to find a solution that would allow you to meet people’s comfort expectations on a completely new level — affordably and at scale.

The result is EFC comfort technology.

It simply can’t be done cheaper or easier!

Through extensive experimentation, simplification, testing, and further refinement, the system has evolved into the ideal — and most importantly, cost-effective — solution that puts the key to highly desired, personalized, and even fully adjustable comfort right into your hands!

The mass production of adjustable hardness mattresses

Revolutionary
technology

REVOLUTIONARY
TECHNOLOGY

For centuries, people have been looking for a solution to perfect rest.

Ez This seems to be a simple question, yet decades have passed between the creation of a breakthrough technology.

All of the inventions not only led to the development of the furniture industry, but also, almost without exception, brought international success to the companies that first applied the new technology..

Today, the majority of these companies are not only successful, but in almost all cases, as global companies, their names are synonymous with quality, luxury and innovation.

The real breakthrough successes have never been achieved by premium products addressing only the narrow market, but almost always by technologies available to the masses.

However, innovations that are accessible to everyone have appeared relatively rarely, only every 30-40 years, and in recent decades, since the entry of memory foam mattress into the market in 1991, there have been no newcomers.

In 2021, we reached the end of the 30-year cycle. EFC comfort technology is changing the way we all think about comfort!

The comfort technologies used so far will NOT be replaced, but will be SUPPLEMENTED.

The comfort technologies used so far will NOT be replaced, but will be SUPPLEMENTED.

‘The revolutionary nature of EFC is that it does not replace but rather adds value to the existing proven foam types and spring mattresses.

Whether it’s the simplest or even the latest state-of-the-art comfort technology, the EFC system can take it to a higher level, complementing it with the everyday luxury of unique control. This innovation undoubtedly has the potential to fundamentally change the world of sitting and lying comfort.

Before EFC, the sitting or lying surface of a piece of furniture was as the designers intended: hard, medium or soft. With EFC, the sitting or reclining surface of any furniture can be just as hard or soft as the user wants. We have seen the future!. …and it is very comfortable!

The surface comfort can now be freely adjusted with a single movement.
The EFC Comfort System is the latest innovation in the furniture industry, providing the user with maximum comfort and outstanding market opportunities for the manufacturer!

A felületi kényelem mostantól egyetlen mozdulattal szabadon állítható.

Az EFC Comfort System a legújabb innováció a bútoriparban, amely használójának maximális kényelmet, a gyártónak pedig kimagasló piaci lehetőségeket biztosít!

Softer or harder in a single movement – Introducing EFC technology

The softness and firmness of the seating and lying surfaces of furniture equipped with EFC technology can therefore be adjusted with a single movement.

Comfort is controlled by turning, opening and closing an easily accessible, aesthetically pleasing valve located at the bottom or side of the cushion.

When closed, the cushion is firm and tight. When open, it is soft and saggy. In the case of a loaded surface, when the valve is opened, air is released from the cushion. By closing the valve at a given moment, the user can determine how much air remains to support them. (This function is very similar to adjusting the height of an office swivel chair.)

Thanks to this, the hardness of the sitting and reclining surface of the furniture equipped with the technology can be regulated in practically infinite variations. Users can adjust the sitting or reclining surface to their exact needs with the infinite adjustment. A more detailed explanation of how the technology works can be found in the menu at the bottom of the page.

Presenting EFC in practice

 

Another important aspect of the development is that you can get an adjustable hardness mattress or seat without the help of an external energy source or device.

We have found a way to move air to adjust and control the hardness and softness of the surface without any extra energy or technology (pumps, compressors, use of electricity).

Since environmental awareness is of paramount importance to us, it is named after this feature of the invention:

EFC TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE PRODUCTION COSTS, BUT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE VALUE OF THE FURNITURE. CONSEQUENCE: HIGHER MARGINS AND HIGHER SALES VOLUME.

Bigger
income

 

The EFC comfort system has no significant impact on the production costs of the product. The price is only minimally increased, but the added convenience features carry a number of opportunities:

  • The products offered in the premium segment can be created from the existing furniture at a higher price.
  • Existing products can be sold on a much wider market at similar prices due to the extra premium features.

Sales volume and profitability for different hardness adjustment technologies

 

Reducing costs at higher comfort levels

With the use of EFC technology the amount, quality and cubic weight of foam used can be reduced. Higher comfort levels can be achieved by using less and cheaper materials.

Due to its comfort-enhancing effect, the use of cheaper, less elastic materials, lighter foam weighs and simpler support systems can be sufficient, which can reduce the cost of production.

 

 

Opens up opportunities to enter
new, special markets

The technology provides excellent access to a number of specific target markets, such as the hotel industry, where EFC is an excellent solution for the different comfort needs of constantly changing guests. Similarly, the health, automotive and public transport industries can enjoy outstanding advantages thanks to EFC technology.

Durable and
environmentally friendly

Significantly reduced eco-footprint
and outstanding WARRANTY

Extra durable furniture, outstanding
warranty options

Load tests have proven that an EFC mattress is 50% more durable than its conventional counterparts.

Even after 40,000 load cycles, there was only 2.3% height loss and 2.6-7.6% softening. Furthermore, the decrease in hardness was not measurable.

Manufacturer’s LIFETIME
WARRANT

As a manufacturer, under normal use, all EFC mattress cores come with an unconditional lifetime warranty.

Green technology,
reduces
the eco-footprint

EFC technology offers a real partial solution to one of today’s biggest problems, pollution. It does not use energy and, due to its longer life, it creates a lower amount of waste.

Instead of using cold foam mattresses without neglecting cost-effectiveness and comfort aspects, the technology provides the possibility to use bag-spring mattresses with the same properties while being less damaging to the environment with the help of EFC.

Outstanding
marketing

Supporting trade and manufacturers with comprehensive and powerful MARKETING

EFC is a proprietary technology, coupled with highly effective marketing and sales support.

Every aspect of the technology is patented

 

 

The interest generated by marketing in communication is limited only to the manufacturers using EFC technology.

Competitors offering alternatives are not expected for years.

Supportive
communication for manufacturers

 

EFC’s end-consumer communication builds a strong brand, but only emphasizes functionality, thus not suppressing but actually supporting manufacturer communication.

In addition, communication is open, so that even the products of manufacturers can be included in the advertising materials as part of our communication to the end-consumers of the technology.

In this way, the first manufacturers to use the technology can expect a prominent appearance. In parallel with the development of the market, this marketing activity will naturally decrease while noise from the competition will increase.

Unique sales
support

 

Retailers will receive unique sales support on the market.

In addition to the usual printed and point-of-sale POS materials, we provide technology, sales technique and communication training to retailers.

 

Connection with the future

We expect a serious market rearrangement – The application of EFC requires a new approach and a different mentality from all manufacturers in the future.
The EFC comfort technology carries with it all the features, for which there has been no solution in the last 17 years.

Unlike previous solutions, it is a simple, low-cost additional technology that enables companies that produce for each market segment to find what makes the furniture they offer even more in demand or even to conquer new markets.

EFC comfort technology will not be the luxury of the future, but a fundamental feature of furniture of tomorrow.

We offer unprecedented complex customer acquisition, brand-building communication, marketing support and an innovative problem-focused sales concept to all market players involved in the sale of EFC furniture, free of charge.
The EFC-branded shops go beyond the classic furniture shops, bed, sleep and chair studios. In these stores, shopping will not only be an experience, but you can also find answers to all your comfort, leisure and even posture related questions and problems.

From manufacturers to wholesalers to retailers, the EFC distribution network receives all the theoretical and material support it needs for a truly successful sale.

The retailers who stand beside EFC technology will be a temple of comfort, those familiar with the rest that can be created to meet current needs, thus helping people’s lives by ensuring a proactive, balanced and painless day-to-day existence.

The sudden surge in demand for technology can be taken for granted. Similar to the appearance of the water beds, it will be a trendy feature that has been the privilege of high price products until now, which will now be accessible to almost everyone. In addition, it has a comfort advantage that goes beyond memory foam, which is still very popular today, as it can be used in combination with memory foam to reach the maximum comfort possible with current technology.

EFC WILL BE SYNONYMOUS WITH COMFORT, and through patented technology, the question is not whether it is PRUDENT to bring in manufacturers, but which manufacturer will be among the first to benefit from this still available competitive advantage!
