Pillow to Measure Sleep Quality

The lap pillow and arm pillow were just gimmicky pillows, the latest Japanese pillow that we’ve found also has an actual useful feature, it measures the quality of your sleep.
Japanese company Loft Co. have released a pillow that records the depth and quality of your sleep by measuring head movements. The theory being the less you fidget the better sleep you are having (which probably means I never have a good nights sleep as I am Mr Fidget Cocoon Monster).

Japanese info available at Lofty found via i4u.
