Our mission is to develop technology solutions to address sleep problems that are both effective and comfortable. By prioritizing user comfort and satisfaction, we seek to create solutions that can help people improve their sleep quality in a sustainable and long-lasting way.
We pursue this goal through innovative approaches, hard work, and an unwavering focus on the technical details, while keeping in mind the delicate nature of restful and restorative sleep.

Sleep is too important and nobody should compromise your sleep and well being just to target larger profits.
Continuous Learning and Improvement
Sleep is a new frontier in western medicine. Due to the black box nature of the brain, science has only been able to get simple electroencephalograms (EEG’s) of the brain as it sleeps. Finding scientific answers on how sleep affects our cognitive abilities, memories, moods, brain and organ health, and general well being is just getting started. We recognize advances in sleep medicine takes continuous industry learning and technological improvement. A large portion of our time has been and will continue to be spent reviewing the latest medical publications and engaging with the medical community.
