Many people suffer a bad night’s sleep because they are woken up by their partner’s snoring.
But now a smart pillow could put an end to noisy nights as it can gently push a snorer into a new position to stop their snoring or wake them up gently – leaving their partner to slumber in peace.
The ‘snore activated nudging pillow’ is fitted with an integrated microphone that picks up the sonic vibrations of snoring.
It then inflates an internal air pocket which makes the pillow three inches taller, which its creators believe is just enough to make a sleeper move their head or body.
Sleeping on your side reduces snoring because the base of the tongue will not collapse into the back of the throat to obstruct breathing.
The elevated angle of the pillow similarly opens a person’s airways or prompts them to move into a better sleeping position – perhaps by rolling onto their side.
The device has a 30-minute delay setting to allow the user to fall asleep, without the pillow inflating and the microphone’s sensitivity can be adjusted for light or heavy snoring.
The sound-activated air pocket expands and contracts to ensure breathing passages remain open and prevent snoring.
It can also be manually inflated to a desired thickness of between four and seven inches.
The smart pillow is filled with polyurethane and its shape is designed to cradle the head, while its polyester cover and be removed and washed.
It is currently available across USA through online stores.
