Project Background

Drawing on his experience on many long haul fights and noisy sleeping environments, our client wanted to develop a product that promotes soundless, undisturbed peaceful sleep on the go and also at home.

The Process

Upon in-depth ergonomic studies and user testing, we worked in parallel with the client, developing his concept into a high quality travel and relaxation product, ready for mass manufacture. We provided strategic advice, CAD models, prototypes and experimentation with expanding foam models, renders and a mould design for manufacture.

The Results

A neck pillow made from high quality sound reducing foam and covered with soft breathable fabric. Designed using anthropometric data, Sleepmuff’s ergonomic form helps relieve muscle tension by cradling the neck, avoiding any strains, while ensuring a completely sound-proof sleep.
