PolarPillow

Who doesn’t love a cool pillow at night? Rather than continuously flipping sides, how about getting yourself a pillow that not only keeps itself cool, but also keeps you cool in the process.

The PolarPillow does exactly that. It works by absorbing the temperature of surrounding air, and then transfers the coolness to your head. The pillow contains 12 pounds of cooling gel, allowing it to stay cool for about two hours of use. When you awake, PolarPillow will “re-energize within 30 minutes” after it’s been exposed to the surrounding air again.

Needless to say, a 12 pound pillow could also be quite advantageous during those late night pillow fights.

Corcel N°1 | Carbon Fiber Luxury Bathtub

Straight out of the future comes the N°1, a “goddess in black” as Corcel calls it.

It’s actually a bathtub, but not just any bathtub… an ultra-modern super-luxurious bathtub. The N°1 is made out of carbon fiber and its curvy lines are sports car inspired. It was chosen from 24 concept designs and took 7 months to fully develop.

Only 51 N°1 will be created annually, but considering how many bathrooms this might actually look good in, that’s probably enough to go around. Each tub also comes with an individual authenticity certificate… you know, just in case anyone questions how ridiculously rich you really are.

Hästens Vividus

A person spends a lot of their life laying in bed, one-third of it to be exact (assuming you commit to 8 hours a night). Considering that amount of time that you will no doubt spend in bed, it’s not entirely out of the question to splurge on one. Especially if the bed you splurge on happens to be the definitive example of luxurious sleeping arrangements.

Each high-quality bed is made from all-natural ingredients like “horsehair, cotton, flax, and wool”. Each one is hand-made by Swedish company Hastens using the expertise gained from 150 years of making beds. If you think the price is steep (we did too), consider that each unit takes between 140 to 160 hours to create. That’s a long, long time. We’d say they deserve it!

Chirp Undercover Alarm

Looking for an alarm clock that isn’t quite as obnoxious as the Thunderclap Alarm Clock? The Chirp Undercover Alarm is an invention from a Quirky community member that is currently in the presale phase.

This subtle alarm uses a vibrating pillowcase clip to wake you up, so that you’re the only one in the room who is bothered at 5 a.m. The clip docks onto a backlit display clock that features a curved holding tray to place small items on.

And of course if the gentle vibration doesn’t do its job, there’s a backup alarm clock that will sound.

Thunderclap Alarm Clock

Do you tremble in terror at the first sign of thunder? Have trouble getting up at 5 in the morning for work? Perfect!

The Thunderclap Alarm Clock will ensure that you’re on time every time, featuring a variety of tones, volume adjustable up to 113 decibels, and three flashing bright red LEDs.

Sure that’s probably enough to get even the deepest sleepers out of bed, but with a name like “The Thunderclap Alarm Clock” there better be something more ridiculous than blinding lights and deafening sounds. That’s why they’ve included a vibrating pad that can be placed under your mattress to “provide an insistent, bed-shaking tremor that serves as the last line of defense against oversleeping.”

Oh yes, my wife is going to love this!

Kohler Numi | Super Toilet

The average person uses the toilet 2500 times a year, adding up to about 3 years of their life when all is said and done (and what is done on the toilet is better left unsaid). So it’s comforting to know that somebody out there is working to make the experience more convenient, sanitary, environmentally friendly, and even musical. And if the truly inexplicable accompanying image is any indication, chicks dig it. Or something.

The Numi Super Toilet by Kohler is the most advanced toilet ever created. Its sleek, minimalist design makes it look like a toilet Steve Jobs would build, and it has features to match. This is a toilet that detects you approaching and raises the lid for you, as well as the (heated!) seat if it thinks you need it. It’s got a bidet with variable spray patterns like “pulsate”, “oscillate”, and “wave”, and a built-in air dryer. It automatically deodorizes itself with a charcoal air filter. It’ll even warm your feet. And it’s all controlled by a remote. Yes, that’s right, a remote for your toilet.

And if you tend to get bored while you’re doing your thing in there, the Numi has built-in speakers connected to an FM radio and an ipod connector for your own music. How you choose to accompany your toilet music is up to you.

True Clean Towel

Who doesn’t remember their mother giving them that classic parenting line, “Put that down, you don’t know where that’s been?” Now, at least when it comes to your towels, you can know where it’s been, or at least, where you’ve put it before. Straight from a company rep:

While the concept is of course meant to evoke a laugh, it was designed to compete with any “luxury towel” and I think many girlfriends will also in particular, when sharing a towel, appreciate not drying their face in the same place their boyfriend dried his privates.

When you really think about it, there is a certain comfort in knowing that you’re not wiping everything with the same piece of fabric. Any way you look at it: luxury, humor, cleanliness, these towels come out on top.

Fogless Mirror | By ToiletTree Products

Shaving in the shower has its benefits. The hot water and steam tend to make shaving easier and more comfortable, and the extra stubble just flows down the drain instead of collecting on your sink. There is one drawback to shaving in the shower. There’s no mirror, which doesn’t end well when metal blades are involved.

This Fogless Shower Mirror fixes that problem. Made of high-quality acrylic, this mirror won’t fog, rust, or shatter. It contains silicone pads to adhere to any surface without damage, a built in shelf for your razor, and a squeegee to wipe away stray water droplets. Simply fill the reservoir with hot water from your shower, and the temperature will stay level on both sides of it, eliminating fog.

Give this mirror a try, your skin will thank you.

Sheex Performance Sheets

Any man will tell you that nothing is more important than the inviting quality of comfortable bed sheets on the off chance that you have… company.
