Discover Moona
You just found out about Moona and you have already a thousand questions about it?
🛌🏻 How do you determine the best temperature profile?
Cooling helps you fall asleep while warm temperatures help you wake up. For more informations: Moona - SCIENCE. The temperature profile is divided into three phases: Fall asleep, Night and Wake Up. It enables to adjust a temperature for Moona for each phase. The app will recommend a temperature profile for you thanks to the few questions you'll answer when you first open the app. You can change it at any time if it doesn't suit you (Settings >

🛌🏻 How does cooling and heating work?
Moona is a water-based system without electronics under the head! Water circulates in thin silicone tubing that is present inside the pillow. The thermo-controlled water diffuses into the pillow from the bedside device where it is cooled/heated and then returns to be thermo-controlled again. The beside device contains a heat pump which cools down or warms up the water. This regulation of water temperature is carried out thanks to the thermo-electric effect and this, continuously.

🛌🏻 Is there a risk of leak?
The risk is minimal! We have selected the materials to be as robust and waterproof as possible. We've run life tests to put every single part of the product in very strenuous circumstances and make sure of their resistance.

🛌🏻 What is the temperature range?
Our product supports temperatures between 71°F and 97°F (22°C and 36°C). While this range may not seem wide, do not worry, the vast majority of our users to do not go below 75°F (24°C) or over 90°F (32°C). Remember, comparing air temperature with water temperature is very misleading! For example, while you could easily stay outside at 71°F (22°C), you would get cold pretty fast by staying in a swimming pool at the same temperature. .

🛌🏻 Difference with Fan/Air Conditionner?
By being in direct contact with your head and neck, Moona is better able to regulate your core body temperature. In addition, - unlike a fan -, Moona uses water to regulate the temperature and knowing that the calorific value of the water is 2 times greater than that of the air (water has a greater capacity to modulate the temperature), Moona is twice as efficient as a fan. A fan can only create a draft that gives a fresh feeling without refreshing the body. We also continuously adapt th

🛌🏻 Why are you not offering a product for the whole mattress?
Because we believe we can be more efficient by targeting only the head/neck area. Most medical studies around the impact of temperature on sleep are focused on one area of the body (we quoted a few studies in our Science page). This is because body temperature regulation is a complex process. Here's some additional medical evidence: Cooling the brain during sleep may be an easy, natural and effective treatment for insomnia (https://aasm.org/coolin

🛌🏻 Has Moona been tested?
Yes! We have done more than 300 user tests, improved day after day Moona and challenged our decisions at every moment, all with a view to offering you the safest product possible.

🛌🏻 Is there a pillow included in the product?
No, we want you to be able to keep your favorite pillow. After testing and interviews, we learned that it was best not to make the pillow itself as people have various pillow shape, material and sizes preferences. Our pad goes inside the pillow pad, on top of any standard pillow.

🛌🏻 How thick is the pillow pad?
Very thin! 19 millimeters (0.8 inch)
Some readers
🛌🏻 Do you detect sleep stages?
Yes! At the moment, the accuracy of movement-based sleep trackers in measuring sleep stages is 70 to 80%. However Moona doesn’t need to detect your sleep stages to set the right temperature at the right time, because the circadian rhythm of thermoregulation is distinct from your REM/non-REM sleep stages. We hope to bring integrations with other products to complement our sleep tracking features.

🛌🏻 How much electricity does the bedside device use?
The electricity consumption of the bedside varies! During its maximum use - when it is asked to cool the temperature -, the consumption reaches 80Watts whereas during a normal use, the electricity consumption is around 50Watts. Rest assured, the device will not be too energy-consuming!

🛌🏻 Is the pillow comfortable?
Yes! The pad is so thin that your comfort will not be affected. During our studies, we were particularly interested in the well-being of our users. After a development of the pillow, we made a lot of tests and got positive feedbacks; most of our testers claim that the pillow does not affect their comfort, some even ensure that the pillow improves their comfort.
