Enlighted Pillow
This is the 2025 edition of our Enlighted Pillow, available now in our online shop. It features a variety of new sound-reactive effects, more advanced animation patterns, and a BLE interface that works with our Enlighted iOS App. The pillow is decorated with a high density flexible array of RGB LED pixels, mounted behind a diffusing layer to produce a relatively uniform field of light on the surface. The outer cover is made from a sheer black fabric that adds a moire effect.
It is programmed with 20 different animation modes, including a variety of sound reactive effects that will respond to music, voices, and other ambient sounds. It will cycle through these patterns automatically, performing a smooth cross-fade for each transition. It can also be set up to stay on one pattern continuously - using the built-in manual switch at the corner of the pillow, or it can be controlled wirelessly with our App.
The outer cover is removable and washable. The inner pillow is spot-clean only, and should not be immersed due to the internal electronics. It can be powered by a rechargeable battery pack, held in a zippered pocket inside the pillow, and can also be used while the battery is charging, plugged into an AC adapter.
We've made several earlier versions of this pillow, including this one from 2014. For more examples of our non-wearable textile-based LED art, please see Janet's online portfolio.

The second video demonstrates some of the effects that do not react to sound (and are sometimes preferred when you don't want your pillow to be distracting).
The third video shows how the pillow can be squished and compressed, like a normal throw pillow.
