Sleeper Hold – A travel pillow that actually works

Story

Traveling is supposed to be one of life’s greatest joys, but nothing ruins a planned vacation like a terrible in-flight sleep experience. How many of these desperate attempts at deep sleep are you guilty of?

We LOVE to travel, but we HATE “bobblehead!” So we invented the solution in our garage and now we’re ready to share it with the world!

Even though the Sleeper Hold is recommended for ages 13 and up, we had this kid demonstrate the assembly so you can see how easy it is to use!

To wake you or not to wake you? That is the question. With the optional Sleeper Hold Velcro Patch Bundle, your flight attendant will always have the answer they need.

Every Sleeper Hold comes with optional breakaway safety clips so that your head remains unrestricted in the event of an automobile accident.

Upon conducting an x-ray analysis of the Sleeper Hold and a conventional travel pillow, Dr Gaetano Scuderi concluded that the Sleeper Hold preserved the healthiest angle for the user’s spine.

Some people call the Sleeper Hold a travel pillow, but to us it’s the ultimate on-the-go sleep system.

We were shocked when we realized the Sleeper Hold solves bobblehead everywhere, not just on airplanes.

We’ve tried them all! When tested against the top travel pillows on the market, the Sleeper Hold is the only bobblehead solution that checks all the boxes!

We are professional self-defense instructors who have a LOT of travel experience! Eve is a 3-Time WWE Champion and Rener is a world-renowned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, UFC coach, and inventor (created the backpack-hoodie, Quikflip, that appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank).

Between work trips and family vacations, we travel every month to various destinations around the world. When we realized the impact that poor in-flight sleeping experiences were having on our work productivity and vacation satisfaction, we decided to solve “bobblehead.”

We ordered some airplane seats and invented the cure in our garage, after 5 years of testing our prototypes on countless trips and on countless airlines, we are finally ready to bring it to market.

One day, when you can afford to purchase a private jet (with a flat bed), you won’t need the Sleeper Hold. But until that day comes, we hope that the Sleeper Hold will help you enjoy first class sleep in every seat!

We invented the Sleeper Hold over five years ago, but we got so busy with life, that we didn’t find time to bring it to market. Everything changed on a recent flight to Cincinnati when the woman sitting behind me saw me use the Sleeper Hold and literally lost her mind…

We decided to conduct a test with a group of frequent flyers to see how the Sleeper Hold compared to the top travel pillows on the market. Everything was going according to plan, until people started falling asleep in the studio!

When he was younger, UFC Fighter Brian “T-City” Ortega suffered a traumatic experience when trying to sleep on an airplane. So we had him test the Sleeper Hold against the top travel pillows on the market, and you won’t believe what happened!

Flight Attendants are exposed to every imaginable travel pillow, so we were shocked to see their reaction to the Sleeper Hold!

Orthopedic Spine Surgeon, Dr. Gaetano Scuderi, analyzes travel pillows by comparing the conventional u-shaped neck pillow to the Sleeper Hold and he even x-rays to analyze the users spine health with each pillow.

In the beginning, we had ONE prototype Sleeper Hold on hand, so Rener decided to auction it off to a group of jiu-jitsu practitioners, and you won’t believe how much it sold for!

Bryan is a commercial airline pilot with 19-years of experience. He’s seen it all when it comes to travel pillows and sleeping contraptions. Listen to what he had to say about the Sleeper Hold.

Josh Ruben is a sleep scientist who works with NASA as well as professional athletes and entrepreneurs to optimize sleep. We hooked him up with The Sleeper Hold and here’s what he had to say!

Sleeper Hold co-inventor Rener Gracie provides step-by-step instruction on the simplest and most common applications for use on planes, trains, buses, cars, and office chairs. There are endless possibilities, and once you’re done watching this tutorial, you’ll be Sleeper Hold certified!

The Sleeper Hold does not work on every airplane seat, but it works on most, and when it does, it provides the best seated sleep of your life. The preferred Sleeper Hold configuration is when it’s attached to the adjustable headrests that come standard in most modern airplane seats (it’s super secure and won’t block the TV monitor for the person sitting behind you). If you’re in a seat that doesn’t have an adjustable headrest, you can wrap the strap around the seat-back (assuming there is no TV monitor in the seat-back). The only time you won’t be able to connect using the seat strap is in the unlikely event that the airplane seat does not have an adjustable headrest but does have a TV monitor in the seat-back. In this case, you can just place the pillow against the window (or your neighbors shoulder if you ask nicely), and lean against it to doze off like you would with virtually every other travel pillow on the market (except ours has a much cooler name). Bottom line: the quality of the sleep and the fact that the Sleeper Hold works on so many different modes of transportation is what makes it the “King of Travel Pillows!”

Shipping Details
When shipping is added to the initial Indiegogo purchase, it increases the final amount which in turn, will increase the percentage both Indiegogo and external agencies take for helping promote the product. As much as we love their help and wouldn’t be able to launch without them, we feel it is fair to keep shipping separately so that both the creator and the backer save money.

After your purchase on Indiegogo, we will be sending you a survey that will securely process your address and shipping payment. Please note that VAT and Duties are not covered for non-USA orders, please check with your customs office to determine if you will get charged any additional fees.
