adjustable pillow made of high-quality polyurethane foam
with a visco-elastic surface (2) for utmost comfort and a fle-
xible Vario pad (5) to adjust the pillow height.
The embedded air chambers (4) inside the pillow gently
guide your head in the desired position as soon as a snoring
sound occurs. The sensor plate (3) registers the head position.
For the protection of the microphones (1), the pillow has an
air-permeable, moisture-repellent inner protective cover. On
top comes the washable pillowcase.
GETTING USED TO THE SISSEL
Users might require some time (approx. 28 days) to adjust to
the special product features of the SISSEL
changing of head position). For easier adjustment, the Vario
pad can be removed. Depending on the positioning of the con-
trol unit (distance to the head), some sound may initially be
registered upon activation of the air chambers. We therefore
recommend to place the control unit in the supplied case and
as far away from the head as possible under the bed (or in the
bedside drawer) – if necessary, additionally wrapped in a
towel. Once accustomed to the pillow, users will usually not
perceive these sounds as disturbing anymore.
