Nose Metal
Admittedly, I was not feeling this booth when I walked by. There was loud music playing and flashing lights, which was just too perfect a trigger for a migraine. But on the other side of the menagerie was the Nose Metal, a motion pillow that helps adjust your head and neck so that you snore less at night. The name might sound silly, but when I was pitched the idea, I realized this was something I could use myself now that my smartwatch pegged me as a snorer.
Nose Metal works similarly to the way a smartphone or smartwatch tracks snoring. There’s a subtle box you put next to the bed on your nightstand to listen to figure out your sleep habits. As it listens, it tells the pillow you’re laying on how to adjust so to increase airflow to your nose and throat. The lights in the picture featured here aren’t typically a part of the pillow—Nose Metal added them for the show floor demo to illustrate the different “zones” that automatically adjust as you sleep. —Florence Ion
