As for most innovative design it takes the general public time to adopt to a new practice. They are used to their old ways, so when a new "alien" object are being introduced to them they usually meet it with skepticism.
Brief.: Create a sound reducing transportable product for the bedroom to improve sleep.
Situated at the headboard of the bed ComfyShell works by folding over the head while sleeping to sound insulate and obscure. The folding functions makes it fold out into the protecting shell shape and unfold into a flat half circle. This makes it easy and not space consuming to have in the bed. Furthermore it makes it easy for transport so you can bring ComfyShell with you to a hotel or on vacation.
ComfyShell is solemnly made out of soft materials. This was done since the product is intended to be used in the bed and to prevent harm during sleep. The materials are Microfiber cloth, Noppenfoam and Thinsulate. Noppenfoam and Thinsulate are sound reducing components used in cars and in headgear. Thinsulate had a great compressibility making it the perfect choice for the folding function of ComfyShell. Microfiber cloth is low maintenance and long life making it resistant to time and easy to clean.
