The Perfect Noggin started in Boston as a custom molded foam block we called the “cup” that was the subject of the first study below. The cup required weekly contouring by a licensed orthotist and this created hardship for many families. We set out to create a more user-friendly design, and the result was the most extensively studied product of its kind, the PlagioCradle. The new design added a torso support for better head-neck-torso alignment, and incorporated a patented system of removable layers that permitted parents to adjust the fit as the infant's head grew.  The PlagioCradle was successfully used for over a decade throughout New England, and was the subject of multiple peer-reviewed scientific investigations (referenced below).
