96 per cent air - Swiss Made!

The thing can do nothing and is almost nothing. It just sits there. But it's "Swiss Made" and I love it.

Nowhere else in the world do you get so much air for your money. Now that's a brand promise. And good Swiss air at that, because this thing is "Swiss Made". As we at Digitec Galaxus AG appreciate the value of good Swiss air, we sometimes deliver an extra portion to your home as a free gift with your order.

Because giving away so much air and space isn't good in the long run, "Packy McPackface" is working on customised solutions. But I digress. Where was I? Oh yes, on the blue thing whose manufacturer proudly proclaims:

The products manufactured in Switzerland consist of up to 96% air, which makes them unique in the world. Air is not only the essential component of our products, but also the most prominent feature of our brand philosophy.
We believe that everyone needs time to breathe, to put aside all the stress, worries and nagging of the day and get into their own space.

Space instead of stress. That's a good thing. As I said: nowhere else can you get so much air for your money. Only a few dodgy financial products can compete with that. Nevertheless, it's time to talk about the remaining four or five per cent. The residual risk, so to speak. You certainly can't go wrong with Swiss air. But what good is the blue stuff that the experts have not yet been able to remove?

As the proud owner, I can feel a little "elite" because not everyone has a stimulating waffle pattern. What's more, the manufacturer's airy products have been in use by the army since 1952. A secret air force, so to speak. The Airex Force. Forget the fighter jets. To the waffles, citizens!

I don't like foam under my feet when I walk, but I do stand on it while I work. And I jump on it when I do sport. It's good for you. For the back. For the feet. For the soul. Whether I am mentally stable cannot be conclusively clarified here. In any case, this text is hot air, "sent from my Airex Balance-Pad Elite".

In addition to the "whisked smurf" colour, the pad is also available in life-affirming grey and other colours. Otherwise, I know that I know nothing. If you know anything, let my colleague David Lee know in this article.

That's it from me, the boy from the mat. Here's what Airex wants to tell you about Swissness and foam thanks to its advertising strategists. "There is one thing the Swiss are really good at. They excel in...?"
