With all the training runners put in on a weekly basis, post-run naps — especially after long runs — has become increasingly popular for recovery purposes.

The latest piece of apparel could be a quick-fix solution for those on the go struggling to get enough sleep on a nightly basis.

California-based Hypnos introduced the Sleep Hoodie, a pullover that features an inflatable hood to lean on for napping, whether it’s at home, travelling to races, or everyday commuting.

The inflatable hoodie, which has just recently become available for purchase, inflates in as little as three seconds, and looks like a regular sweatshirt. Hypnos offers shipping anywhere in the world and is offering apparel for as low as $65 (early bird price).

“The pillow had to be perfect; it had to feature a new shape that was comfortable, versatile, and inconspicuous to the outside world,” designer Josh Woodle, a native of Chicago, told Refinery29.

The inflatable piece is also removable so the hoodie can be safely placed in the washing machine and dryer. Hypnos‘ first products are expected to be shipped out in March.

Hypnos also offers nylon jackets in addition to its 100 per cent cotton hoodie line of apparel.


The ergonomic design of the inflatable hoodie was tested for more than two years, according to Refinery29.
