A speaker pillow is a pillow that incorporates loudspeakers. It is generally designed as an alternative to headphones connected to portable media players. A speaker pillow is intended to improve sleep as it is more comfortable than other options for sound.[1] Example uses include playing audiobooks, podcasts, or music to help fall asleep.
Speaker pillows come in two formats. One type contains a pouch for a smartphone from which audio is played. The other type has a small, flat speaker in the center of the pillow, which can be plugged into an audio device using a headphone jack. However, this type of speaker pillow is known to break very easily.
