This chic ergonomic pillow lets you sleep without worrying about neck pain

Posted on 24/05/2022 by Sarang Sheth

While most ergonomic pillows look like strange curvilinear headrests, Bed Pillow’s capsule-shaped design looks incredibly minimalist and picture-perfect.

Bed Pillow is on a mission – a mission to let you sleep however you want without worrying about neck and back pain. Most pillows just elevate your head without worrying about its position in relation to your spine. Depending on this (and on whether you’re a back, stomach, or side sleeper), your neck experiences stress due to bad sleeping posture. While ergonomic pillows try to solve this problem, Bed Pillow attempts at solving it while looking like a beautiful addition to your bedroom decor.

The Bed Pillow has a design that’s as simple as its name. Shaped like a capsule, the pillow is made from memory foam with a concave indentation on its underside. This indented shape supports both back and stomach sleepers, while the wider sides are perfect for side sleepers. Depending on how you sleep, the Bed Pillow keeps your neck aligned appropriately with your spine, so you don’t end up with neck pains.

Ergonomic Design – Consists of different areas with different heights so that regardless of the shape and position of your head, the support and alignment will always be just right.

Back position.

Side position.

Stomach position.

This design is further complemented by Bed Pillow’s choice of material and construction. The pillow uses a BASF memory foam core that offers proper support throughout the entire pillow by absorbing pressure evenly to relax the muscles in your neck, spine, and shoulders. Vertical channels running through the pillow also boost air circulation and breathability, preventing overheating and providing a cooling and pleasant sensation through the night. Wrapping around the core is a recycled polyester fabric inner cover that’s moisture-resistant and provides thermal insulation. Finally, the Bed Pillow gets furnished with a jersey fabric outer cover that provides the pillow with its soft feel (which can be periodically removed and machine washed).

Optimum Breathability – Has open channels inside that allow air to circulate continuously, preventing overheating and providing a cooling and pleasant sensation all night long.

Made from a high-end BASF memory foam core.

While the Bed Pillow is quite pretty to look at as it is, you can choose to use it with a standard pillow cover. Bed Pillow is compatible with most commercial queen-size pillow covers (IKEA, Bed Bath & Beyond, Pottery Barn…), letting you match it with the rest of your bedroom, should you choose. You can grab your Bed Pillow for a 25% discounted price of €85 ($90) which also covers any import duties/taxes on shipping. Sleep enthusiasts can also add accessories like a travel neck pillow or an eye mask to your purchase.

Memory foam wireless charger gives your smartphone a charge and a rest

Posted on 12/03/2022 by Ida Torres

No matter how good the battery life of a smartphone is, the fact that we use it almost every hour of every day means that you’ll constantly need to charge it. The advent of wireless chargers has made it a bit easier or more convenient to juice up your devices. But this new product concept gives a whole new meaning to letting your smartphone rest because even these gadgets need a little TLC too.

Designer: Hyeongkwon Lee and Junsung Hwang

Foam is a design concept for a fast wireless charger with a twist: it has a memory foam to let your smartphone have a “restful” time while being powered up. Phones are probably the most used (and abused) of the gadgets that we have so the designer thought of something that can truly give rest to them because even though it’s an inanimate object (although it sometimes feels too alive at times), it deserves to be rested every once in a while.

The design idea of a foam for your smartphone is inspired by clouds, which gives us an image of true relaxation. Foam looks like your typical wireless charger but on top of its base is a, well, foam structure made from memory foam, the kind used on pillows, mattresses and other similar “relaxing” objects. It is covered with fabric to let your device “settle down on the charger softly”. And since it has a sort of gradient design and color, it does give the impression that your phone is floating while charging.

The purpose of memory foam on pillows and mattresses is to have it mould to your body and remember your shape and optimal sleeping position over time. I’m not really sure how it can help smartphones since they don’t really need the charger to “remember” their shape to make it charge better. In terms of design, it doesn’t really stand out as a wireless charger as it looks pretty much like any other one except that there’s a foam to let your phone sleep.

Whether or not I would get one for my much-used smartphone really depends on the actual specifications of the wireless charger. But since Foam is still in the product design stage, we can only judge it from that and it seems to be a simple, minimalist charger that can fit well on a minimalist desk.

Nike’s new beanbag-inspired shoes make you feel like you’re running on air

Posted on 08/08/2019 by Sarang Sheth

Sit on a beanbag and two things immediately happen. A. The beanbag takes the shape of your body, turning into a blob that’s specifically shaped around your form, and B. You feel more comfortable than you would on a plastic chair, or a wooden chair. The feeling of sinking into the beanbag gives you a feeling comparable to biting into candy-floss… or more accurately, sitting on a cloud.

Now carry that feeling and add it to your shoe’s sole. Designed for bespoke comfort, and for unparalleled lightness while running, Nike’s Joyride Run Flyknit literally has a sole that’s filled with multiple tiny squishy spongy beads. Resembling a beanbag for your feet, the Joyride give your feet the same feeling a beanbag gives your body. A cushioned experience that takes the shape of your foot. Engineered to perfection, these beads have absolutely the perfect density, allowing you to run on any surface without feeling the stress on your heels, shins, or knees. Made from thermoplastic polyurethane or TPE, the beads are size-calibrated and placed exactly at crucial areas of the sole so as to expand in all directions when you land your feet on the floor, cushioning impact and letting you literally feel like you’re running on a bed of memory foam… or if you’re looking for a more poetic comparison… running on air.

The Cuddle Mattress Is For Cuddles

Posted on 07/04/2017 by David Ponce

Look, that picture is pretty self-explanatory. The Cuddle Mattress is made specifically to make it easier for new couples to cuddle with greater ease. It’s also made for older couples to be reminded of how they once used to cuddle all the time and now things suck and maybe we should get a divorce. The top and bottom part of the memory foam mattress feature deep grooves into which you can insert your shoulders, arms, and even tuck your toes. This leads to a straighter spine, less numbness in your arm, more cuddling time and overall more happiness. Or something. Which you’ll need to help you stop crying after you spend an outrageous $1,599 for the memory foam version of the mattress.
