Buzz Zzz: Vibrating Pillows
January 1st, 2009
We’ve already featured a pillow that can wake you up using light and an alarm clock that has a vibrate option. Here’s a quirky yet functional combination of the two: Vessel’s vibrating alarm clock pillow.

Just set the time on the pillow’s built-in clock and it will wake you – and only you – with a few buzzes. Simple right? It’s cool not only because it won’t wake up anyone else, the vibrating alarm means that deaf people can use it too. The pillow also has a conventional audible alarm option for people who don’t wake up easily. I’m not sure if it’s available outside of Japan though, but it’s for sale at Amazon Japan for ¥5000 ($55 USD).
Another Japanese manufacturer, France Bed, thinks that vibrating pillows can also help people to stop snoring. Their anti-snoring pillow has a built-in audio sensor with three levels of sensitivity that alerts the pillow to vibrate once the snoring starts.

And that’s not all: the anti-snoring pillow also has an audio jack, so if you hook up a recorder to the pillow you can record your snoring and verify that you need an anti-snoring pillow.

Japan Trend Shop is selling the anti-snoring pillow for $420 USD. If your snoring is really bad then maybe you could coax your loved ones to buy it for you, since they’ll benefit from it as well.

Is there any way to purchase the vibrating pillow? I checked the link to Amazon Japan and they don’t ship to the USA, only within Japan. I really want to purchase one of those for myself. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hey randy sorry for the late reply. I’m pretty sure that the Vessel pillow is Japan only. I found another vibrating pillow that you might want to check out. There are also vibrating alarm clocks out there that are thin enough to be placed under a pillow. Hope you find what you need.:D
