Be prepared to have the best night's sleep possible! REM-Fit, a division of Protect-A-Bed, is launching a pillow on KickStarter (available for pre-order now) which will change the way you sleep. The ZEEQ, their smart pillow works for any kind of sleeper, snorer, and motion-sensitive bed partner.
Check out these features that'll help you refresh and repair your body without depending on metaphorical sheep:
REM-Fit Audio: ZEEQ allows you to listen to music without bugging your sleeping partner or getting tangled up in headphone cords — you can stream your own music wirelessly via eight speakers built inside the pillow! ZEEQ works with Spotify, iOS, and Android.
Snore Alarm: Never get shoved by or feel the need to shove your sleeping partner again. A built-in microphone senses when you're snoring, and gently vibrates the pillow to nudge you into a new sleeping position.
Smart Wake: ZEEQ wakes you up based on the information it gathers via a gyroscope. It'll wake you up within a predetermined window based on your movements throughout the night.
Don't worry — even with all these goodies, ZEEQ is still a super comfortable pillow. The electronics inside are so small and lightweight (and covered in memory-foam housing), that you won't feel them. There's also a foam outer shell, a breathable fabric pillow shell, and a naturally bacteria-inhibiting Tencel pillowcase. (REM-Fit assures you that there's no need to stash away your favorite pillowcase — you can still use it.)
ZEEQ's smartphone app tracks your seven-day sleep trends, your sleep habits, and can even track your diet and exercise. (You can opt in or out of any of the tracking options.) It works with iOS 8.2 or above and Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or above, and your phone must have Bluetooth Low Energy Support. It comes with a rechargeable battery that will only need recharging about once a week. And at 21 by 27 inches, ZEEQ is the standard pillow size.
REM-Fit anticipates international testing to commence this month, with manufacturing in September, and shipping to backers in December. So if you support now, you could be sleeping on one of these within five months! A limited number of $149 Early Bird Round 2 pledges are left, so get to it for some glorious zzz's this winter!
