Designer Josh Woodle of 'HYPNOS' is creating a one-of-a-kind hooded sweatshirt that features an inflatable cushioned hood. This sweater is called 'Sleep Hoodie' and it's being designed to better accommodate commuters, travelers and avid nappers to get their rest no matter where they are.
The team behind this project hopes to increase the efficiency of one's downtime by creating the Sleep Hoodie. The hoods are designed to appear like a normal hood, while concealing the inflatable pillow. This will allow users to only access the cushion when it's required, and otherwise be non-existent.
The HYPNOS team is currently seeking funding through a crowdsourced campaign being launched on Kickstarter. Using a variety of neutral colors as well as fabrics such as 100 percent cotton and water-resistant nylon, the team hopes to meet consumer needs by combining style, comfort and convenience.
