Who is Tenminds?
Tenminds is a Korean company, based out of Seoul. They continue to conduct their research and development in Xiamen, China. For a Happier, and Healthier Lifestyle, 10Minds has been a brand leader in health devices such as Neck Massager, Eye Massager, and Hand Massager.
The first version of the Anti Snore pad was released last year through Tuwan, but after Tenminds acquired the brand ownership, 10Minds has started to have a fair system in marketing and manufacturing lines as well.
The biggest changes are to the highly approved pillow with stronger safety certifications such as CertiPUR-US, CE, FCC, BQB, Telec, and KC. But they also made changes to how the Solution Box interprets data and have updated the app.
What is the Neck Support Anti-Snoring Pillow?
The Motion Pillow comes as two units — A Memory Foam Pillow that has a built-in pad embedded and a Solution Box. Some other products has hazardous electricity generated because they put everything in the pillow and some of them even inflate the air by electricity! It’s probably not the best way to go considering safety of users. But the air pump of the Motion Pillow works with air pump and the pressure sensor which acquired patent. Motion Pillow also goes through rigorously tested memory foam pillow.
This anti-snore appliance works by sensing when you begin to snore and making adjustments that correct obstructed airways, allowing you to breathe easier. It works in conjunction with a mobile phone app, which lets you view your statistics and track your improvements.
The Smart Anti-Snore Motion Pillow has a proven ability to reduce snoring and improve the quality of sleep. Although it only has 30 people in the pool, 80% people replied that it is effective in reducing snoring. Thus, it can be said clinically proven anti-snoring pillow.
The Motion Pillow is a standard size pillow, measuring 21.6" X13.7"X5.1" and it is relatively lighter than other pillows that works with air. For example, the net weight of the pillow is only 2.1KG and that of Solution Box is only 800g. And the size of the solution box is quite smaller than other pillows as well. Plus, unlike other brands, Motion Pillow provides inner and outer cover that are composed of more than 80% Cotton. As soon as you touch the pillow, you can initially feel it is awfully soft and like immediately you want to fall asleep.
How Does It Work?
This “Smart Pillow” really is smart! The Motion Pillow can monitor your snoring sounds. It also senses where your head is positioned on the pillow. This is what 10Minds is proud about because it is acquired patent called SPMS(Sleep Pressure Monitoring System)/
There are four sections of the pad, which is built into the pillow at the bottom of the pillow to allow for maximum sensitivity. The sensor “listen” for snoring sounds, and the pillow inflates, gently and quietly, to around 2–3 inches. It gently moves your head and then slowly deflates, lowering the head back to the original position.
This transformation in position stimulates the relaxed muscles that are generating the snoring sound and resets your breathing. If you start snoring again, the process repeats itself.
The movement and sound of inflation and deflation is so gentle and quiet that it will not wake the user or anyone sleeping nearby. The sensitivity settings can be adjusted for user preference, using the Smartphone app called Anti-Snore. This app also records snoring data which can help you track your improvements.
For the first week or two, 10Minds recommends users to set it at the highest sensitivity level, so that the Solution Box will have time to learn your snoring sound. This is highly advanced artificial intelligence technology for sure, but using it is remarkably simple.
Just plug in the cable, turn on the switch right before you go to sleep, then sleep in quiet room.
How Much Does It Cost?
The Motion Pillow works with your personal snoring with highly advanced technologies and rigorous tests results to make it safe, simple, and highly effective after 4 years plus research. You would expect to pay more than your average anti-snoring mouthpieces or earplugs.
The Motion Pillow is relatively competitive at $389 on Amazon, which includes free shipping in USA and Canada. Motion Pillow also offer a 30 days returning policy from Amazon and one year warranty.
While the price might be considered high, don’t forget that custom-fitted anti-snoring mouthpieces (which are far less comfortable) prescribed by dentists can cost upwards of $500 -$1,000. This anti-snoring appliance can be used with other anti-snoring devices if desired, but the as this pillow is not a medical device like all the other cervical pillows, if you have a sleep apnea, or any other specific disease, you should consult with your doctor before using it for your maximum safety. But, Motion Pillow is the only AI pillow with SPMS patent and expensive cervical Memory Foam certified by CertiPUR-Us and cotton cover embedded pillow available in the market.
