Moonbird Launches Relaxation Device to U.S. Market for only $199

Moonbird, a Belgium-based company, is finally bringing its relaxation device to the U.S. after a successful launch in Europe.

The relaxation device will be sold for $199 and customers will be given a 30-day trial period.

Moonbird Promotes Breathing Exercises to Reduce Stress

According to Moonbird, the device is designed to regulate breathing through exercises. This allowed more than 35,000 customers to find sleep and feel the reduction of stress.

The device is quite simplistic in design and on purpose. Users must shake and place their thumb on the sensor and wait for the device to start whirring gently. It will expand and shrink in size as if guiding the users to breathe properly.

Research has already proven that slow breathing can be used as an alternative way to reduce blood pressure. It is also good for relieving stress, especially in hectic situations.

"By breathing at a rate that's scientifically proven that it relaxes your nervous system, it will calm you down. We had the idea of developing a device - a physical thing - that helps by breathing with you," said Stefanie Broes, founder and CEO at Moonbird.

Moonbird Finds Success in Different Markets

Broes explained that the idea came from helping people sleep better without encouraging them to expose themselves to gadgets. For years, several meditation apps have been trying to help people to calm their nerves in difficult situations.

The device is made to activate the parasympathetic nervous system which promotes relaxation without interference or requirement to connect to a phone app.

The company also produces its products locally in Belgium. Moonbird prides itself on promoting sustainability by offering a 30-day trial period. Customers who were not satisfied can send back the device.

Moonbird will then refurbish it and sell it again. The device is now available from its website for $199 and offers a minimum of a two-year warranty.
