A1 AI Anti-Snore Pillow

A smart pillow that, per Nitetronic, listens for snoring and, when it detects it, slowly inflates internal airbags to turn your head to the side. Nitetronic says that widens the gap between your tongue and throat and opens the airway, all without a mouthguard, strap, or mask. It is a genuinely different approach to snoring, and one worth sizing up carefully before you spend.
