Our Story

We want to completely change the definition of a pillow using Advanced Engineering, not marketing talk. Specifically designed around our digital lifestyle and the related slouching & poor posture.

It all started in Ken's humble bedroom... Poor sleep, neck pain, headache, stiff muscles!! Our founder, Ken the engineer, had them all just like you. But being an engineer, Ken's instinct was to solve the problem. He tried all the touted best pillows in the market but they were all horrible!

And Ken discovered the biggest scam in the pillow industry - all pillows were just bags stuffed with a single block of simple cushy material!! The whole soft pillow concept is a Roman Design that has hardly changed in over 2000 years? 

Time to use technology to reinvent our pillows!
 
What can a sleep-obsessed engineer do? Well, make a better pillow invention from scratch of course. Just like how other engineers reinvented the vacuum cleaner & hair dryer (Dyson), electric vehicle (Tesla), smartphone (Apple) - GIRAFthepillow is the culmination of Ken's many years of research and development.
 
Ken, using his Mechanical Engineering background from the UK, drew upon his project experience in Ergonomics and Composites to perfect the design of a new pillow invention. He has since spent more than 17 years researching materials, features & fitment. Perfecting the invention along the way with an American Posture Institute Expert. 
 
Today, using our Advanced Composites Engineering, we have developed our Patent Proprietary GIRAF® CUDDLE TECH which allows the pillow to mimic a cuddle to biohack your body into releasing hormones to relax and release stress for a deep sleep. We even have sleep tracker data from our users to back it up. We BIOHACK PROVEN SLEEPMAXXING.

 

Our technology has helped high performance individuals such as CEOs, athletes, artists in getting their best sleep and recovery, which is the most important factor for ACHIEVING THEIR VERY BEST.

INVEST IN GOOD SLEEP      
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE
