Pressure, sound and stillness, in one shape.
The Drop Pillow is a block of memory foam with two raised arms and a channel between them for your head. Inside each arm sits a small speaker. Lie back, and the arms press gently on either side of your head while the sound plays right beside your ears.
Four steps to drop
- Turn on the Bluetooth unit Hold the button on the speaker unit until the light blinks, then choose “Drop Pillow” in your phone's Bluetooth list. After the first time it reconnects on its own.
- Play your favourite audio Any app that plays sound works: a guided meditation, a sleep story, rain, a podcast, your own playlist. Start it quietly — you'll need less volume than you think.
- Nestle deeply into the pillow Lie on your back and let your head settle into the channel between the two arms. Slide the speakers so they sit right by your ears.
- Drop The arms hold, the sound stays close, and the room gets quiet. Most people tell us their shoulders let go within a minute.
Two arms, a channel, and the room goes quiet.
People tell us their shoulders let go within a minute. That is the whole mechanism — steady pressure on either side of the head, and sound close enough to follow.
What it's made of
A single high-density memory-foam core, shaped so the arms give gentle, even pressure without pushing back. Regular foam carries the structure; the memory foam is where your head lands. [FOAM: density / certification]
The standard cover is a soft cotton blend that zips off and machine-washes cold. The optional Ice Blue pillowcase adds a cool-touch layer for warm sleepers. Every cover is latex-free.
Two small speakers in fabric sleeves inside the arms, wired to a compact unit with Bluetooth and a 3.5mm input. They slide to meet your ears. Nothing sits in or on them.
Your partner hears nothing.
Two small speakers sit inside the arms and slide to where your ears land. Because they are inches from you, they can play softly and still feel immersive. The person next to you hears almost nothing.
The speakers are made for quiet listening close to the ear. They are not headphones and will not drown out a loud room. That is on purpose.
Bluetooth and 3.5mm. Pair wirelessly, or plug in when you want zero latency and no battery to think about.
Movable speakers. Slide them inside the arms so they sit exactly where your ears land — red side towards the ear — then forget they are there.
Works with what you already use. Calm, Headspace, Spotify, Insight Timer, podcasts, audiobooks.

Your first night, and every wash after
Everything here is also in the welcome guide in the box, and in the setup film on the welcome page.
Charge the unit fully before your first night. Hold the button until the light blinks, then select “Drop Pillow” on your phone. If it doesn't appear, turn Bluetooth off and on again.
Reach into the opening on the inside of each arm and slide the speaker sleeve up or down until it sits level with your ear. Red side towards the ear. You should barely notice it once you lie down.
Unzip and remove the outer cover. Take the speaker unit and cables out first. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. Don't tumble-dry — it shrinks the cotton.
Spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never soak memory foam. Let it air fully before putting the cover back on.
The storage bag keeps it clean between uses and fits in a carry-on. Don't compress the foam for more than a few days.
