About

Rumble Pulvinar

Features
Read full description

Rumble Pulvinar turns your pillow into a smart wake-up system. Pair the app with a Bluetooth pillow pressure sensor and it knows whether you are still in bed — so your alarm keeps working until you actually get up. Unlike a normal alarm you can silence in your sleep, Rumble Pulvinar escalates its sound and vibration for as long as it still detects your weight on the pillow. Only once you have truly left the bed does the get-up countdown finish and let you dismiss the alarm. It is built for deep sleepers who turn alarms off without ever remembering it. FEATURES • Connects to a Bluetooth pillow pressure sensor • Pressure-aware alarms that will not stop until you are out of bed • Escalating sound and vibration that intensifies over time • A get-up countdown that only completes when you stay off the pillow • Custom alarms with repeat days and labels • Adjustable escalation curve • 12 or 24-hour clock • Clean, dark, easy-to-read interface HOW IT WORKS Place the pillow sensor under your pillow and connect it in the app. When an alarm fires, Rumble Pulvinar checks the sensor: if you are still lying down, it keeps escalating. Get up and stay up, and the alarm clears. Rumble Pulvinar requires a compatible Bluetooth pillow pressure sensor to detect when you are in bed.
