technology ends up in some very weird places today we're going to review a very expensive pillow and this mattress for a high-tech 21st century bedroom let's get started so this pillow right here caught my attention on Amazon at a very expensive $300 which might change in the future Sense technology appreciates and appreciates I'll leave a link in the video description so you can check the current pricing it's been featured at CES started on Kickstarter and has been reviewed by quite a few different people this smart pillow has a two week battery life I never thought I'd be plugging in my pillow before I think it's time to review this from the inside there are some speakers there's a vibration motor and it also can keep you from snoring which is pretty interesting so inside the box we have a plastic cover and then a pretty firm pillow inside it definitely has some weight to it which is a good thing it's got a free pillow case and it has some more foam so you can adjust it and add more if you need to I guess has the wall charger with a bunch of adapters for different countries so here's the $300 pillow itself looks like we have a wire here on the edge and then he also can plug it in right here let's take off this outer shell that's probably so you can wash it without actually having to wash the actual pillow there's another zipper right here it's open Oh check it out this is a bunch of the purple foam that comes inside of the pillow I have a feeling this is going to get rather messy in here I fully expect that I would have to rip this pillow to shreds to find the electronics and I still might I don't feel any of the electronics in this pocket so we'll just close that back up it looks like there is a nother zipper on this side still no electronics in this side just a bunch more of this foam stuff we might actually have to rip it open still the good thing is that you can't really tell where the electronics are inside of it because of all the padding on both sides so I mean sleeping on it you probably be able to tell that it's electric so I found one more zipper deep inside of it whoo check this out I think I got it grabbed you want to slice things open here's the brains of the operation here's where it might get a little destructive yeah so it's got a little bit of adhesive here on this kind of memory foam stuff yeah this definitely is it made to be serviced looks like we have several speakers one two three four and we have a flexible ribbon between each of these little modules I'm going to grab a screwdriver and see if we can take these things apart I don't think I've ever done a teardown on top of a mattress before but we have four screws in each of these little modules there's also a gyroscope in here similar to what your cell phone has that can track your sleep motion and wake you up at the opportune time depending on your REM cycle so now that we have the 16 screws removed we can see all the internal components and so each of these little things right here are little tiny speaker so there's four on the top and there's also four on the bottom part of it and I'm seeing two vibration motors on the two exterior modules right here and right here I assume these go with the anti snoring and with the alarm you know if you start snoring like this little microphone picks up it'll vibrate a little bit waking you up just enough to stop snoring and then let you fall back to sleep again without actually waking you up all the way inside these little extenders are the wires these rubber parts just help keep the wires together then we have the massive 5,000 milliamp battery right here in the center pretty interesting I never thought I would actually be tearing down a pillow on this channel but there's a first time for everything so with that snore alarm apparently when you're snoring gets past a certain decibel level that's when the vibration motors kick on and you can set that vibration level depending on how loud you snore and when you want it to kick on overall I think it's a pretty fun idea I'm not sure how many people want to spend $300 on a pillow but if you're into like the high-tech environment it might be fun it might just make a better gift for the person who has everything because I guarantee they don't have this let me know what you think would you spend $300 on a pillow even if it does do all the crazy things this one does let me know down in the comments now let's talk about this mattress I've been sitting on this queen-size mattress which shipped to me in the mail inside a relatively small cardboard box this is intriguing for multiple reasons because it was shipped to me it's actually cheaper than a normal old-fashioned store-bought mattress because those physical store locations have to pay rent utilities and mold locations and Commission for their employees so this thing just got shipped to me and it's completely flatted vacuum-sealed right now so I'm going to cut it open let air inside of the plastic and watch to expand Casper on the other hand can cut those costs out of the equation by vacuum sealing their mattresses for tight storage and can pass the savings along to their customers so that's pretty cool with free shipping things are pretty much always cheaper on the internet this mattress was made here in the USA and it's really nice of Casper to sponsor this video and support my channel I hope they don't mind too much if I show what's inside of their mattress zippers seem to be the theme of this video so obviously we have a top layer up here that everyone can see then we have some layers underneath that not everyone can see looks like we have a layer of normal foam up here and then this layer here is more of a memory foam you can see it takes a second to replenish itself after I poked it well the rest of the foam doesn't we have a transition layer here with a green foam it has slightly larger air pockets inside of it and then on the very bottom we have the support foam this is probably the heaviest and the firmest layer this 10 inch sandwich of foams is what makes the mattress so comfortable pulling all of the air out from inside the foam is what compresses it and makes it easy to ship in this modern Internet world Casper said anyone using the code jerry-rigged can get a $50 discount on their mattress another perk of a modern mattress is that with Casper you get a 100 night free trial if you don't like the mattress during those hundred days you can ship it back to Casper with that free shipping I'll put a link in the video description with an average of 4.8 stars on both Amazon and Google reviews the mattress pretty much speaks for itself you'll have to take my word for it sometimes I think random technology is the most interesting kind of technology so if you liked this video and hit that subscribe button and thanks a ton for watching I'll see you around
