Why this one?
Now question can arise, why you will buy this or use this? There are a lot of mosquito net and also sleeping bag in market. So why you will choose our one?
Answer is:
1. Super Portability : Our products portability is easier than the normal sleeping bags. It's small size is main reason of this. You can roll it easily and can keep in your bag packs side pocket. Just like you keep water pot in your bags side pocket, you can keep this product in the other pocket. Or like you fold your umbrella, make it small and keep into bag by making small roll shape, you can keep this mosquito sleeping bag also and carry anywhere you want.
2. Easy to use : Normal Mosquito can't be set-up in any open place as it requires stands for basement, ropes, etc. But you can easily use our product in any open place, anywhere you want, because you will just enter into this and sleep. Nothing extra required. Suppose you are in a trip and making night camp in sea beach, or river bank, or forest side. There you can't use normal mosquito nets. But easily can use our one. And this is the best option for you at that place.
3. Low Price : Our product will cost way less than other mosquito nets available right now. Where as you are getting extra features also from this. So every people can afford it easily. We are highly concerned in making this cheap price, so that our targeted people can buy this easily.
For whom the product is?
Now another import point is, "Who will use this?"
1. Homeless Poor People : In our country there are so many homeless people. They have no shelter to live. So normally they sleeps on footpaths, foot over bridges, bus/train stations or many other open places. A large number of them get affected by Dengue, Chikungunya, Malaria and many other diseases by mosquito every year. So our product is a life saving element for them. And as it is low price, so any organisation or person can give them this product as donation. Or someone can donate them money to buy this. It's so helpful for them.
2. Travellers :
Nowadays travelling is so popular all over the world. There people do night camps also. Sometimes we stay on river banks, sea beaches, or beside forest. There we can't use normal mosquito nets. But easily can use our one. And this is the best option for you at that place as it requires no extra instrument or anything to set-up in open place. We will just enter into that and sleep.
Sometimes we see people travells to such place where he doesnt stay at hotel or for some reason he is unable to stay at hotel. There he has to stay in bus or train stations or other open place. There he needs protection from mosquito and at that situation it is the best possible mosquito protection for him.
3. Emergency Situation: Suppose someone has taken a patient to a hospital and he/she have to stay with the patient at night at the hospital. There he/she have to stay beside the patient, or in the hospital floor or in balcony of hospital or some other open place. There protection from mosquito is must. Our product is the best way of protection at that situation. As it is cheap so he/she can easily buy this and just enter into this and sleep protectively.
Product Versions:
Version-1: For this, we have taken our design inspiration from PPE. And for this version, we have used a mosquito net, and a zipper only.
Version-2: It is the most basic version of our idea. We used a mosquito net, woven fabric and a zipper; and then sew the mosquito net with the fabric. The most notable thing is we used four layers of mosquito nets by changing each layer's direction to ensure mosquito can not insert its proboscis through small holes of the nets.
Version-3: For this version, we have used a mosquito net, woven fabric, zipper, and small plastic stands. Here, mosquito net and fabric is stitched together. The plastic stands are setup in four corners. These stands are attached with the fabric and when we fold the sleeping bag, those stands is folded also at a time. This stand folding feature is ensured so that users can fold the mosquito net quickly after use.
Version-4: Study and work for development is going on.
Version-5: Idea processing.
We are working to develop the quality of our product and so preparing more versions. Our study and research on the versions is going on under supervision of our honorable Prof. Dr. Md. Mahbubul Haque at apparel lab of Daffodil International University. Hope we will successfully complete the project and will be able to give a helpful product to the world.
NB: We are working on fabric development to ensure that the product will not make us feel discomfort while wearing, and also our another concern is to ensure that mosquito will unable to bite through the fabric even when the fabric is touching our body. We are also prioritising to make the fabric breathable and making the product comfortable and efficient to achieve our goal of making this.
