Growing Market for New Dental
Chair Cushion Made in Medford
There is a growing west
coast market for the new re
clining dental chair cushion
manufactured locally by the
Professional Cushion Supply
company, a division of the
Modern Furniture company,
1222 South Riverside ave.,
owned and operated by Ken
neth C. Kerr.
Although the company is
keeping up with the demand
for the new cushion now, or
ders are coming in so fast
that it might not be long be
fore he falls behind orders,
Kerr told the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce round
table luncheon at the Jack
son hotel Monday.
Kerr was invited to speak
as part of the roundtable's
program to hear those local
entrepreneurs who have start
ed something new in business
and are contributing to the
prosperity of the area by
means of their businesses.
Not His Own Invention
The cushion that Kerr is
manufacturing is not entirely
his own invention but the
modifications that have made
it so successful are his, and
have been patented, he told
the roundtable.
Since he took out his patent
about six months ago, he has
sold approximately 300 units
and the demand is increasing
as- more and more dentists
begin to recognize the worth
of the new seating arrange
ment. Kerr does not make chairs,
but uses the dentist's old
chairs. In approximately 30
minutes he can install a new

reclining cushion with a head
rest and an optional vibrator
for S200. The work is done
in the dentist's office.
Advantage Over Others
This is one advantage he
has over other manufactur
ers who offer a new chair,
which costs from $1,200 to
$1,600. Kerr remodels the old
chair giving essentially the
same benefits.
Kerr said the reclining
cushion is beneficial to den
tists, not only because it looks
modern, but because patients
are immediately relaxed when
they sit in it. They have to
be Relaxed, he added, for
there are no foot rests or
handles in the new chair, with
which they can brace them
selves into a tense position.
Instead, they have contouring
seats which gives comfort to
the patient from head to toe.
The optional vibrator is lo
cated under the seat of the
chair and further relaxes the
patient. Although he did not
expect them to, dentist's have
found they can work on the
patient while the vibrator is
operating which further helps
to keep the patient relaxed,
Kerr said.
In order to meet the de
mand for the cushion, Kerr
temporarily discontinued up
holstering furniture about a
month ago, and will not start
again until he can train a new
crew to work on the dental
chair cushions and keep up
with the demand.
The market for the cushion
has spiraled only recently

awhile for dentists to get used
to the idea of a new cushion
and make sure that it is an
effective product, not just a
gadget.
At two recent dental con
ventions, in Portland and
Seattle, Kerr found interest
in the cushion at a high, indi
cating it has received wide
spread acceptance. -
He is presently marketing
the chair in Oregon, Wash
ington, California, Utah, and
Oklahoma, and has an offer
from an ex-dentist in Ohio to
sell it there.
Large Problem
One of his biggest prob
lems, Kerr told the round
table, was to find the best way
of marketing the cushions. He
declined offers from supply
houses who wanted a fran
chise to sell the cushion for
him, because he had no idea
at that time of how large
the market was going to be,
and did not want to bind him
self to a contract.
He has tried both mail
order sales and the direct
sales approach and is still
experimenting with both
methods.
Although the personal ap
proach can sometimes be more
effective, he has often found
that dentists are too busy to
receive a salesman during of
fice hours and when they do
receive him, they often do
not give him as much time
to sell the product as he
should have.
By mailing circulars to first
explain the product, he has
found that dentists will often
devote more time to studying
it and then are in a better
frame of mind to discuss it
at a later date.
One break that Kerr had
recently is in a new south
ern California dental clinic
which has installed his cush
ions throughout. This is one
of the best clinics in the
world, he said.
Request From Dentist
He first got started with
the chair when an Ashland
dentist requested he make
one of the new kind of units
for him. Kerr did this, add
ing a few of his own modifi
cations, and it was well ac
cepted with several other lo
cal dentists requesting them
also.
He then experimented with
various modifications of the
original version and came up
with some that were good
and for which there seemed
to be a market, so he patented
them.
Roy Smith had been sched
uled to speak at yesterday's
luncheon to discuss the func
tions of the Oregon bureau
of labor, but according to Ken
Baker, roundtable chairman,
he was in an auto accident
and unable to attend, so the
roundtable invited Kerr, who
had been unable to speak
when invited two weeks ago.
