Sound Asleep Pillow - Drift off to sleep with your favourite music!
Available from: I Want One of Those - Sound Asleep Pillow - Price: £19.99
Do you love falling asleep listening to your favourite music, but hate waking up in the night choking from your headphone lead wrapped several times round your neck? If so, the Sound Asleep Pillow is the answer!
The Sound Asleep Pillow (or I-Pillow as I’ve nicknamed it!) is a comfy hollow fibre pillow with a speaker buried deep inside, allowing you to listen to your favourite tunes as you drift off to sleep. Compatible with any device with a headphone socket, the Sound Asleep Pillow can be plugged into your IPod, or any MP3 player, with the removable lead supplied. Set the required volume, and relax as your favourite music gently lulls you off to sleep!
One of the great things about the Sound Asleep Pillow is that it’s only audible when you have your head firmly snuggled into it. This means you can listen to your music without headphones, but it won’t disturb anyone sleeping next to you as it’s completely inaudible from a couple of cm’s away, even with the volume cranked up to full! This was tested with my other half, who told me “You’re not playing music in bed, you’ll keep me awake!” (and this from the person who managed to sleep through the recent earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale!). After i`d been comfortably listening for a good couple of minutes however, she asked me when I was going to turn it on 
I must admit that when I received the Sound Asleep Pillow, I was waiting for the catch. Usually, with gadgets like this you don’t always get the full package, for instance the sound quality is great, but it feels like sleeping on a big foam brick, or it’s nice and comfy but the sound quality is awful! Thankfully, the Sound Asleep Pillow is definately the exception to the rule!
I’ll also admit that i`m extremely fussy, and my pillow has to be just right - not too soft, and not too hard, and thankfully the Sound Asleep Pillow offers the best of both worlds. It’s hollow fibre filling is both soft and comfy, but still gives a good amount of support to your head and neck. The sound quality is also much better than I was expecting, and you literally can’t hear it at all from a couple of centimetres away. Usually, when someone is listening to music with headphones on, you can hear that annoying tinny noise, but the Sound Asleep Pillow is totally silent!
If you find it hard getting off to sleep at night, as you can’t shut down from the stresses and worries of the day, the pillow is a great way to take you mind off things and just relax. As well as listening to music, it’s great for listening to study tapes, helping you to learn whilst you sleep! Alternatively, you could use it for listening to self hypnosis CD’s, and provides the perfect comfortable environment to let yourself go - so now you can stop smoking, gain confidence and lose weight all with the help of a pillow! (and the appropriate audio hypnosis guide of course). Just make sure your other half doesn’t hijack it, or you’ll be listening to “I must do more washing up and household chores” all night!
I’ve been reliably informed by the nice people at I Want One of Those that the Sound Asleep Pillow has been flying off the shelves, and it’s not hard to see why! Once you’re snuggled up and listening to your favourite relaxing music, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without one!
At £19.99 the Sound Asleep Pillow is definately a luxury product, but it’s not going to break the bank and is well worth every penny. So go on and treat yourself to a great nights sleep (and you might as well buy two, as when you’re other half tries it you aren’t going to get it back!)
