day.

For the last 7 years Kokoon has been developing headphones that are comfortable for use in bed. NightBuds are
designed to be worn through the night in all positions including side sleeping. The soft, ergonomic buds are
incredibly thin; just 5.4mm thick which is over 391% thinner than the average Bluetooth earbud 3 . This thin size
has been enabled by Kokoon’s patent pending 5 point anchor system which locates electronics behind the head.

Keeping sleep disturbance free is key to a good night’s sleep. Nightbuds block out snoring or noisy neighbours
with noise isolation and dynamic noise masking. Also useable as regular Bluetooth 4.0 headphones, nightbuds
enable hands free calls and feature crystal clear acoustics courtesy of nightbuds premium balance armature

About Kokoon:
Kokoon was founded in 2013 with the mission to become a non-pharmaceutical, digital ‘go to’ for helping
people relax and sleep easier. Kokoon’s founder Tim Antos struggled with insomnia himself. After attending
many sessions at a sleep clinic he wanted a more convenient, cheaper way of getting access to the insights and
techniques he was introduced to. “I wanted to make all this knowledge, all these great tools I learnt in the sleep
clinic more accessible to the everyday consumer to use on their own terms”.
Tim realised that there was a need for a more accessible consumer friendly solution that better fitted within
modern lifestyles and could be used irrespective of the frequency or severity of a person’s issue. With the
advances in data, science and sensing technologies, Tim and fellow engineer and co-founder Richard came up
with the concept behind Kokoon. Visit https://kokoon.io for more information on Kokoon Technology.
