Why a pillow speaker beats earbuds
Plenty of people fall asleep to something - white noise, rain, an audiobook, a meditation. The problem is how you listen. Earbuds are uncomfortable to lie on, fall out in the night, and are not safe to sleep in; a bedside speaker wakes your partner and fills the whole room.
A pillow speaker solves both. It sits under or inside your pillow and plays quietly through the fabric, so the sound reaches you and almost no one else. There is nothing in your ears, nothing to roll onto, and nothing to disturb the person next to you.
It is a small change that makes audio-led wind-downs actually sustainable - and it suits side sleepers and light sleepers especially well. DreamPod is our under-pillow speaker, built for exactly this.
Your questions, answered
It is a slim speaker you place under or inside your pillow. It connects to your phone, so you can play whatever you already use to fall asleep - a sleep app, a playlist, an audiobook - and the sound comes through the pillow to you, quietly.
That is the whole point of it. Because the sound travels through your pillow at low volume, the person next to you hears little to nothing - unlike a bedside speaker.
Many people with tinnitus use gentle sound to mask the ringing at night, and a pillow speaker is a comfortable way to do that without wearing anything in your ears. It is a comfort aid, not a medical treatment.
Yes - it plays from your own phone, so anything you can play there (Spotify, a podcast, a sleep app, an audiobook) works through the pillow.
