Orthopaedic Vibrating Alarm Clock Pillow Ensures You Wake Without Disturbing Others

Upon first coming across this pillow with integrated alarm clock which can either wake you with a standard audible alarm or courtesy of the entire pillow vibrating (or, for especially deep sleepers, a combination of the two) we thought it a somewhat silly idea but, as we pondered writing this post it occurred to us that it’s not actually quite as silly as it initially seems.

As someone who works irregular and wholly erratic hours (predominantly occasioned by repeated episodes on insomnia) it can prove extremely aggravating to eventually fall asleep at just past five in the morning only to be woken at 5.30am by your partner who is somewhat of an early bird – but, with this alarm clock pillow, such rude awakenings would be a thing of the past. (Of course those with their minds in the gutter could doubtless envisage altogether differing uses for a vibrating pillow but we really won’t go there).

Made from polyurethane foam with a cotton cover the Orthopaedic Vibrating Alarm Clock Pillow retails for ¥7429 (which equates to approximately $69 / £35 / €47 exclusive of shipping at the time of writing).
