While studying the conditions for profoung/ sound sleeping, we discovered that there are 4 significant elements : the physics, aroma, environmental temperature, and natural sound of pillows. Among these conditions of sound sleeping, we focused on the fact that the majority sleep soundly through music. So we began to wonder why we can't sleep soundly in a natural state without direct stimulation to tour ears? It was simple, but not really. However, we came up with a solution based on our experience, knowledge, and passion. (Alongside prior research on suitable sleeping conditions.)
It causes hearing loss/ difficulties and headaches, seriously degrading sleeping qualities. When it comes to sleeping, consider quality over quantity (time). Even when you take a break for a short time, you need to have a high-quality sleep.
Reference) A piece of advice from Dr. Breus, the lead researcher: "Falling into sleep using earphones can damage your hearing. It is highly advised to keep sound devices away from the bed to keep a distance between the user and the sound source."

High-quality speakers without foreign materials (sounding like a pillow). It is equipped with the same performance level as universal earphones and headsets that have been used before. However, the difference is that there is no direct irritation to the ear. While inserting speakers into pillows, it was essential to ensure that the sound was transmitted clearly without any foreign substances.

After careful analysis with other materials, we came up with our own "3D Mesh". It was made with 2~5mm 3D and 2 layers of 5mm mesh materials, providing the most outstanding level of comfort. With this feature, high-pitched sounds can be delivered softly and naturally.
*Also, the tidiness of the 3D Mesh without any wires is also a bonus factor. *
USB-C TYPE connectors and electronics are small/ flat modules located 5cm behind both ears, and the length of the cables can be adjusted. (In the prevention of changes in tone, regardless of the user's head size and distance). It is connected to the module through an electric cable behind a flat insert pouch, providing comfort in any position due to the speakers not sliding within the pillow.

You have to wash the inside of the pillow due to the smell of your pillow inside its covers. Usually, invisible residues such as saliva, sweat, and dead skin cells cause bacterial growth and foul odors. Every day, bacteria duplicates on pillows 50-times more than our toilets! Washing pillows are as important as washing your underwear. We change our underwear every day, but why don't we wash pillows regularly that touch our skin? So, with Nitebuds, wash the pillow with water. Just put it in as it is, and it's over.

- Temperature: keep your head cold and heart hot.
On a hot summer night, you can insert an ice pack inside the pouch to lower the temperature of your head for a more pleasant sleeping. Three additional ice packs will drop the temperature by about 4 degree Celsius and remains cool over 3~4 hours. Six additional ice packs will drop the temperature by about 5~8 degree Celsius and remains cool over 5~8 hours. Lowering the temperature of your pillow is much more effective than turning the air conditioner on to stay cool – and also, it is eco-friendly! (The time may vary depending on the user and the surrounding.)

Eco-friendly materials possess three characteristics: They’re renewable, biodegradable, and compostable. Sugarcane fiber is all three.
Renewable – Around 1.2 billion tons of sugarcane are produced annually. From this, 100 million tons of bagasse are created each year. While some of this bagasse is burned as biofuel, much is discarded. Bagasse packaging production finds a new purpose for this agricultural byproduct that would otherwise have been disposed of reducing waste and supporting farmers.
Biodegradable – We wish that all products ended up in local composting facilities but the reality is they often do not. It’s essential to plan for the reality of products ending up in landfills and on the side of the road. Biodegradability ensures that a product can break down on its own over time. Sugarcane fiber can biodegrade within 30 to 90 days.
Compostable – In commercial composting facilities, post consumer sugarcane products can break down even faster. In as little as 60 days, bagasse can be composted entirely. When composted, bagasse turns into a nutrient-rich fertilizer of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium.

Over the last 2 years, Ear-free Nitebuds were developed to elevate the comfort of our users up to perfection. So, our final product results from an extensive process of designing, testing, and repeating modifications.
It is also a result of our endless passion and effort. We used the data to analyze the shapes and sizes of ears. We tested the test product to find the optimal design providing the most outstanding comfort. Also, we did not forget to analyze and research how to provide rich and natural sounds for our ears.
With the help of our try-out members (current customers and curious new customers) in the Cottonshower community, we carried out tests at each repeated stage until the final resolution of our all-inclusive headphones for a good night's sleep.

The initial obstacle we faced was the development process of the product. We needed to slow down our pace to focus on details that needed to be worked, re-worked, re-designed, tested, and iterated. Once we came to a solution, we moved on to the next challenge, which involved actual users.
We aimed to produce natural, high-quality 3-dimensional sounds for the users as a long-term project. We observed and recorded all the flaws and possibilities of improvement over days and weeks of using the product. In the process, we repeated re-designing, re-making, and testing the product.
"Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul." Plato, The Republic. Sound has that something that cannot be delivered in words. Many people already know that sound can be used for adequate and good sleep. However, listening to music or noise while sleeping is definitely not good for the health of your ears. We wanted to provide the best experience for a natural, high-quality sleep that frees up your ears – and we have finally made it.
Live your life. We hope every day of your life is meaningful and full of changes.
