Cambridge Sleep Sciences (CSS) has unveiled the TechCo Performance Pillow.
Launched at Dubai Esports Arena, it’s the first sleep aid engineered to adapt to users’ sleep patterns using real-time biomarker data from wearables.
Developed in collaboration with Achieveminds, Ultrahuman, and TechCo, the pillow is designed to help anyone improve sleep quality and feel better rested, with particular benefits for those with demanding lifestyles, such as gamers and athletes, where recovery and peak focus are essential.
Powered by CSS’s patented SleepEngine™ technology and integrated with the Ultrahuman Ring AIR, the pillow supports a better night’s sleep, with results revealing users benefit from:
- +28% increase in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep
- REM sleep is linked to memory, focus, learning, and recovery
- 31% reduction in awake time
- Improved sleep efficiency and quality scores
These results demonstrate that users not only sleep better but also feel more rested – outcomes that are just as valuable for everyday performance at work or home as they are for professional gaming or sport.
“Our mission has always been to bring evidence-based, non-pharmacological sleep support to real-world users. Seeing wearable data and subjective feedback align so strongly gives us confidence we’re changing the game in sleep technology,” said Adam Rostom, CEO of Cambridge Sleep Sciences.
“SleepEngine™ was built on over a decade of neuroscience research. Players don’t just win in the arena; they win in recovery. With the Performance Pillow, we’re turning sleep into a trainable edge,” adds Fabian Broich, Founder of Achieveminds.
Shakeel Baig, Founder & CEO of TechCo, said: “By combining CSS’s proven SleepEngine™ with insights from Ultrahuman Ring AIR, we deliver smarter rest that adapts to the demands of esports tournaments and training blocks.”
