# Anti-Snoring Bear Cushions Sleep Tight and Quietly on the 'Jukusui-kun Pillow' By Matt Ho | Published 2011-11-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jukusui-kun-pillow References: [ubergizmo](http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/11/jukusui-kun-pillow-helps-put-an-end-to-snoring/) & [crave.cnet](http://crave.cnet.co.uk/gadgets/meet-the-robot-polar-bear-that-stops-you-from-snoring-50006061/) If there's one annoying thing about sharing a room with a guy, it's the snoring; this is where the Jukusui-kun Pillow comes in to help. Even though the Jukusui-kun Pillow may take the form of a [cute polar bear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squishpillow-by-original-squishmallows), its purpose is not to cuddle anyone to sleep. Instead, this is a high-tech device designed to help eliminate heavy snoring by tickling the sleeper. The [built-in mic combined with the sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isleepad) will command the hand of the pillow to move based on the volume of the snore. The idea is to make the sleeper move to the side, which is a position that normally reduces snoring. The extent to which the Jukusui-kun Pillow works is debatable, but it'll be interesting to see just how effective this is nonetheless. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anti-snoring Pillows:** Opportunities for developing more high-tech and effective anti-snoring pillows utilizing sensors and microphones. - **Smart Sleep Products:** The trend of developing smart solutions for optimizing sleep, including pillows, mattresses, and sleep tracking devices. - **Humorous Healthcare:** The trend of using fun and playful designs to market products that solve health issues, such as anti-snoring pillows shaped like bears. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** Opportunities for healthcare companies to develop innovative and effective anti-snoring products for both home and clinical settings. - **Sleep Tech:** The sleep tech industry can continue to develop high-tech anti-snoring solutions to help people sleep better and more comfortably. - **Home Goods:** Opportunities for home goods companies to develop more playful and whimsical healthcare products to add a bit of humor to everyday items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Active Anti-Snoring Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antisnore-pillow.md) - [Smart Anti-Snore Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/10minds-motion-pillow.md) - [Snoring-Reducing Smart Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-pillow.md) - [Self-Adjusting Anti-Snoring Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purelex-smart-pillow.md) - [Snoring Correction Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepmi-z3.md) - [AI-Enabled Anti-Snoring Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepmi-z4.md) - [Soothing Body Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soothing-body-pillow.md) - [Self-Powered Smart Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-powered-smart-pillow.md) - [Relaxing Speaker-Equipped Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nitebuds-pillow.md)
