What is the AI Pillow trend?
AI Pillow: Companies are adding artificial intelligence (AI)-backed features to traditional pillows. These pillows automatically track sleep patterns, as well as head position and temperature, then adjust themselves automatically for comfort. This improves the quality of sleep and reduces snoring.
Insight

These customers seek out products that improve sleep quality, such as white noise machines and blackout curtains.
