Global sleep tech market is growing at double-digit CAGR, but existing sleep earbuds face three unsolved pain points: (1) Traditional dynamic drivers (40-50mm) are too bulky for side-sleeping comfort. (2) Sealed in-ear designs trap humidity up to 85%, causing itching and potential ear infections. (3) Products are mere Bluetooth receivers dependent on smartphones, lacking real-time physiological feedback. SomniFlow fills the gap between "medical-grade comfort" and "consumer-grade pricing."
Frontier components powering each product — selected for performance, manufacturability, and unit economics.
