Rylaxing Ryan Dickerson '11 BS Ryan Dickerson '11 BS designed the Rylaxer series of ergonomic bolsters to maximize comfort and space efficiency in limited space areas such as bedrooms and dorm rooms. The Rylaxer goes on top of any bed, ideally a twin bed, transforming it into a very comfortable and ergonomic couch. The Rylaxer is tough, resilient, environmentally friendly, and compliant to all California and Boston fire codes (completely flame retardant foam and fabric). The Rylaxer also stores very easily. When one is done using the Rylaxer as a couch, one simply stands the Rylaxer up on end, thereby effectively storing your couch within 1.5-square-feet of floor space. Rylaxing.com will be up and ready for orders in mid-November 2009.
