Hypnos: Hoodie That Can Transform Into Personal Sleeping Zone Makes Waves On Kickstarter

A Kickstarter campaign has been launched for a hoodie equipped with a secret mechanism that can let its wearer sleep anywhere. The wearable, dubbed Hypnos Sleep Hoodie, is a sweatshirt that contains an inflatable pillow that can turn the clothing into a personal sleeping zone for people on the go. The concept is similar to the Travel Hoodie Pillow introduced in April 2013. Unlike that product, Hypnos is not only a neck pillow but a complete comfy hoodie, which is particularly popular among those fond of layering clothing. It is easy to use: the wearer need only inflate the hidden pillow through a nozzle inside the hood and he or she would have a personal napping nook.

"The pillow had to be perfect; it had to feature a new shape that was comfortable, versatile, and inconspicuous to the outside world,' Josh Woodle, Hypnos' co-founder, told Daily Mail. "Our next focus was to offer a beautiful hoodie that could transition from a day on the plane straight to the bar at night."

The Hypnos Kickstarter campaign had an initial goal of $30,000, but as of writing, it has raised $85,000 in pledges from more than 800 backers with six more days to go before it ends. Pricing details have not yet been confirmed. However, the hoodie-pillow could cost from $49 to $100, according to TIME.
