With the constant hustle and grind, we sometimes forget that rest is just as important as work. But not just any type of rest. Good rest. Productive rest. We value work efficiency so much but don't seem to say the same for how we sleep.
ZEREMA is the ultimate sleep solution for those tired of never getting that productive rest. This pillow incorporates deep-learning AI to learn your sleep habits, automatically put you in a more comfortable sleeping position, and provide a personalized analysis on how you can sleep better.
But with all this amazing tech underneath, ZEREMA still does its main job. Its soft open-cell marshmallow memory foam keeps your head comfortable and supported as a pillow should.
With ZEREMA, you can make it your own. No need to Goldilocks your way through countless pillows. All you need to do is set the air cushion to the height of your liking on the ZEREMA app.
This adjustable feature also works automatically with our AI-powered snore detecting technology. When snoring is detected, ZEREMA will raise or lower the pillow height on its own to open up your airway. It does so so gently that it won't disturb your sleep.
Watch The Air Cushions Work!
When these two air cushions work together, they ensure they feel just right on your head and neck.
Like a tailored suit, a pillow should not be one size fits all. With so many different variations in our height, weight, and spinal alignment, it's hard to believe a single pillow works for everyone. Comfort is relative and should not be generalized.
According to research conducted by the Harvard Medical School, how your head rests on your pillow plays a crucial role in your spine health. Matthew O'Rourke, a physical therapist at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, explains that extended periods of misalignment can result in serious damage to your neck.
Having bad posture while working, studying, and watching Netflix damages your neck’s natural c-curve. There's even more damage when your pillow doesn’t support you properly in your sleep, causing excessive pain and tension in the neck.
ZEREMA, on the other hand, supports your cervical vertebral by working the air cushions. When you find the right height and angle for your neck, it will minimize the number of times you toss and turn for a comfortable position.
ZEREMA detects snoring by inflating the air cushions inside the pillow. Snoring is the noisy result of a person's airway being obstructed. So when snoring is detected, the air cushions work to lift the neck and re-open that airway.
This is the same principle as performing CPR. In order to allow proper breathing, the first step procedure is to tilt the head back and lift the chin up.
But for ZEREMA, this happens while you're asleep.
ZEREMA's app integrates deep-learning which takes data learned from over 10,000 sounds including snoring to more accurately detect new unique snoring sounds. It also teaches itself to distinguish snoring apart from other sounds, ensuring the air cushion adjustment is only activated when a distinct snore is heard.
ZEREMA's Snoring Detecting Skill.
We conducted a test to see how accurately ZEREMA detects snores. The results show it detected snoring in just 10-30 seconds and lifted up the pillow height right away. As the pillow height adjusted, it helped the user breathe better and decreased much of his snoring.
When put to the test against other anti-snore pillows, ZEREMA was proven to more accurately distinguish and activate only when an actual snore was detected.
A Sleep Clinic Is In Your Hand.
ZEREMA's intelligence derives from its mobile app. It acts as a real-time sleep monitor to track and provide insight on your sleeping habits.
When you set up the app before going to bed, it monitors your sleep while you're asleep. When you wake up, the app shows your sleep index, sleep duration, snore duration, and provides a customized sleep report on a daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly basis. The sleep report keeps you updated with your latest sleep data.
With ZEREMA, you can manage your sleep systematically. You can even set your own sleep goal and find out how to improve your sleep. Like a little sleep clinic in your hand!
ZEREMA is made with open-cell memory foam which promotes free-flowing ventilation. The micro-holes that give it the “open-cell” name allow air to slip in and out easily and stay more hygienic than most conventional closed-cell memory foam pillows.
This material is also softer to the touch. It almost feels like lying on a marshmallow - supportive yet giving.
ZEREMA’s rectangular shape keeps your head comfortably positioned and evenly distributes the head weight. When designing ZEREMA, we closely examined the natural structure of a human head and came up with a pillow that complements this curve.
ZEREMA also keeps side sleepers comfortably positioned. The left and right side of the pillow are raised slightly higher than the middle and have small ear rests that provide ultimate neck and head support for side sleepers.
Compared to the average pillow, ZEREMA’s structure provides superior head support. We conducted two experiments to test how well ZEREMA senses and distributes pressure. The results show the cracker remains perfectly intact and the sensor's measurements indicate the far even distribution of head weight.
ZEREMA Includes Special Covers.
To wash the pillow cover, put it into a washer, or wash it by hand. We don’t recommend using a dryer as the pillow cover may shrink. If needed, tumble dry without heat.
Do NOT wash the inner cover. Instead, gently wipe with a wet tissue.

How many people in the world use pillows every night? (We don’t know the exact figure but probably a lot!) Since all humans have different body shapes, neck heights, and personal preferences, there is no pillow on the market to satisfy every pillow user no matter how “fit-for-all” it may seem. This is why a term so-called “pillow nomad” was born. A lot of people are not satisfied with their pillow and can’t settle on one that is just right, even after trying dozens.
This is the reason we started our business with a new approach.
“What if a pillow could fit its users instead of the users trying to fit themselves to it?”
We envisioned a pillow suitable for everyone. An adjustable pillow.
Also, some of our team members face sleep problems. The biggest being snoring. Because of their snoring problem, they wake up tired. But that is not our only issue. According to a study, it was reported that habitual snoring occurs to 40 percent of men and 26 percent of women. Even if you don’t snore, we’re sure you’ve seen how seriously it affects your parents, spouses, friends, or relatives. This research made us decide to include an anti-snoring function to the pillow.
We added a mobile application as one of our pillow’s main functions as well. Since it’s the age of technology, we wanted to make it work with a familiar and helpful device. We decided to develop an app that connects to the pillow and provides easily accessible sleep information.
This was the basic scheme of our smart pillow, ZEREMA. It took almost 4 years to bring this idea to life. Starting from ZEREMA, we aim to continue designing products that provide a comfortable sleep environment for everyone. This is the first step to accomplish our ultimate goal.
