This tactile mattress topper allows you to feel like a movie while you sleep

Woojer is known for Vibrating jackets and Belt belts That lets you feel the sounds from games, movies, and music. Now the company has taken the same haptic technology and integrated it into… A new mattress topper called the Woojer Mat This will allow you to feel the same vibrations throughout your body to make what you watch or play more immersive. But the company claims the mat is also designed to reduce stress, relieve pain and tension, and improve the quality of your sleep.

The Woojer Mat is available now for $799 through the company’s online store, but is currently discounted to $699. It’s described as a mattress topper but unlike memory foam pads that stay permanently on top of your mattress and under your sheets, the 30-inch wide Woojer Mat is narrower than even a twin-sized mattress, and instead is designed to be unfolded and used only as needed. It’s not a permanent bedroom upgrade.

Beneath the outer layer of breathable fabric is a thin padding embedded with six haptic transducers capable of producing frequencies as low as 250 Hz. The mat connects to any device compatible with headphones and speakers using Bluetooth, USB-C, or an analog audio cable, including your smartphone. If you want to continue listening to a movie, song, or game while converting the sound into soothing vibrations, the mat can be connected wirelessly to headphones or you can connect it to a built-in subwoofer using a cable.

Connecting the Woojer Mat to its companion mobile app also provides access to a “rich library of personalized sonic vibration sessions designed for everything from back pain relief to deep relaxation and mental clarity.” If you want to use it without distraction, you can adjust the volume and intensity of vibrations using a strip of buttons on the mat without reaching for your phone or other devices.

We have not tested the mat and cannot vouch for Woojer’s health claims. But like those elaborate chairs that provide an intense, full-body massage experience or a white noise machine, a mat’s greatest benefit can be as a sensory distraction so that you temporarily forget about the mental pressures that are keeping you stressed or unable to sleep.
