The 45-Degree Sleep Position: A Comprehensive Approach to Sleep Posture

You’ve tried propping pillows for comfort. Between your knees. Behind your back. Over your face (not recommended!). But what if science could perfect your sleep? Modular Pillow is developed on the medically-backed 45° sleep position.

Here’s why we created Modular Pillow, backed by research:

  1. Spinal Alignment: Each pillow is designed to help maintain natural spine curvature, reducing those morning aches and allowing your body to achieve full restful, deep sleep periods.
  2. Full-Body Support:

    • Head & Neck: Patented octagonal design prevents harmful arm-under-pillow positioning.
    • Shoulders & Back: Reduces pressure and supports lumbar region.
    • Hips & Knees: Aligns hips and reduces joint pressure
    • Emotional Comfort: The ‘hugging’ sensation created by the Modular Pillow’s cocoon helps reduce anxiety, lower stress, and improve overall sleep quality.

The 45° sleeping position is proven to help with:

  1. Respiratory & Circulatory Benefits: Reducing sleep apnea, asthma, and COPD.
  2. Cardiovascular Health: Assists venous return, benefiting heart health.
  3. Digestive Health: Helps reduce acid reflux and GERD symptoms.
  4. Pregnancy Support: Reduces back strain and improves fetal blood flow.

 

Traditional pillows don’t provide the support your body craves to feel at its best.

Modular Pillow is made up of six ultra-supportive, memory foam pillows, each with its own unique role, ensuring every part of your body is aligned.

The octagon-shaped head pillow supports your neck while the right and left side pillows encourage the 45° sleeping position.

The knee pillows keep your hips perfectly aligned while the arm pillow works its magic to take stress off your shoulder.

Toss and turn a lot? The Arm Pillow is made to support you on either side, so even if you’re flipping around like a pancake, your shoulder posture stays on point with just one pillow.

FYI: Whether you’re Team Left or Team Right, attach the Arm Pillow to just 1 side and you’ll get shoulder support when you toss on either side.

Still scrolling? Sleep clearly matters to you. Let’s continue learning & upgrade it together.

 

Will we get it to you before Christmas? That’s the plan. Is it a rock-solid guarantee? Nope—life’s unpredictable. But hey, this is our 3rd Indiegogo, and we’ve nailed over 100,000 on-time shipments outside of it. So, odds are in your favor.

Shipping costs got you clutching your pearls? We feel you. It’s just that this bad boy is chunkier than your aunt’s famous lasagna. We’re charging exactly what the delivery heroes demand for their hernia-defying feats. No sneaky markup—just the price of moving a small planet to your doorstep.

And here’s the scoop on shipping costs for this campaign: these numbers might change—fuel prices, world events, and all that jazz. We’re all about keeping it real—no surprises. After backing us on Indiegogo, we’ll hit you up with a survey for your shipping info and payment.

Heads-up: If you’re outside the USA, you’ll handle VAT and duties. Check with customs for any extra fees.

It all started with us wanting a better side sleep pillow, that also doesn’t cut off the circulation of your arm and doesn’t lift when you put your arm to the side. So we made a weird shape for the head…

Then we started adding pieces for the best sleep posture that I found worked with patients in my clinical practice to create optimal positions for every part of your body, culminating in the pillow that is made for the 3/4 or 45 degree sleeping position. Instead of asking patients to prop their back with pillows, putting things in between their legs and under their arms so that they could sleep more comfortably, we wanted to make a system that was designed with that in mind.

We initially made cardboard cutouts of the shapes and tested sizing and shapes to ensure we could make it work. The next step was the 3D file and then the hard foam samples below. It wasn’t comfortable but it was important to ensure that we do a cheaper, hard foam first before we open the real molds so we can ensure our initial testing was on point. 

And if you’ve read this far, we’d probably be pretty good friends in real life (after you listening to me write to you for this long). So here’s a golden nugget as a thank you – write a comment on Indiegogo about why you are grateful for pillows in general (or anything), mention ‘golden nugget’ and I’ll DM you with a surprise gift.

 

It wasn’t ? As you can see the arm pillows were just far too big, so we went back to the drawing board to see where we went wrong and after another iteration, we finally got it.

We then opened the molds and continued testing. 

Until at the office we reached… nirvana ?‍♂️

Pillow Talk: The Fine Print (But Fun-Sized!)

Look, we’re not claiming our pillow can turn you into Superman or cure world hunger. We’re pillow nerds, not miracle workers! We’ve poured blood, sweat, and tears (okay, maybe just sweat) into creating this bad boy over the past 2 years. Thousands of hours of research, more user testing than a NASA space mission, and we think we’ve nailed it.

But hey, we’re not delusional. It’s a pillow, not a magic wand. We can’t diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent illnesses. If it could, we’d be sunbathing on our private islands by now.

We believe it’s the perfect pillow, but perfect is subjective (like pineapple on pizza). That’s why we’re giving you 120 nights to decide if it’s your soulmate or just a fling. If it’s not “the one,” no hard feelings – we’ll part ways amicably.

Remember: Great sleep is our mission, but medical advice? That’s your doc’s job. We stay in our lane – the comfy, well-rested lane!
