Sound Asleep Pillow

16. Feb, 2010 0 Comments

Our Spys never sleep here at GizmoSpy as we are always on the lookout for the latest gadgets. The Sound Asleep Pillow with MP3 player connection solves a problem for those that love to listen to music in bed and end up falling asleep with there headphones in and this can be very uncomfortable. With its built in speaker you can drift off to sleep whilst still not disturbing others.

The Good

The Sound Asleep Pillow as featured on Five’s The Gadget Show is as comfy as normal pillows with soft hollow fibre filling you literally cannot feel the speaker in side. It is more comfortable than using headphones, allowing you to drift off to your favourite tunes and not be woken up later by the noise of your stereo. There is a number of other uses such as listening to audio books, learning a foreign language, or just listening to relaxing sounds to help relax your mind if you find you’re having a stressful day. It’s also ideal to take on long journeys for a comfortable source of entertainment whilst you’re in the car train or plane and other passengers will not be disturbed.

The Bad
Not suitable for washing because of the built-in speaker. So maybe you will require a pillow protector but this could block out some of the sound quality. Requires that you have a 3.5mm stereo plug to connect to your MP3 player. Most players do have this connection or extra cables can be brought to accommodate this.

Verdict

When our Spys do finally get some rest we think this would be a nice gift to help them relax from a hard day researching the latest gadgets, and I know what you’re thinking, you have a cushy job working with the latest technology…well yes but we still need some rest!!

UPDATE – Our Spys have just seen another very similar product but the pillow is made of memory foam. The foam has small holes which help circulate air and improve the sound quality. The pillow moulds to the natural body shape. A little more expensive but maybe a little more comfortable.
