What is a vibrating pillow pad?

Designed for Deaf and hard of hearing people, a vibrating pillow pad is a device used to protect and alert users in emergency situations.

Typically interconnected with fire alarms or evacuation systems, vibrating pillow pads are used to ensure protection at night-time by providing Deaf and hard of hearing users with a customised warning alarm.

Alerter Group Night Cradle

Ideal for security at night in hotels, halls of residence and residential homes; the night cradle and vibrating pillow pad can be used in conjunction with existing fire alarms and emergency evacuation systems, to provide Deaf Alerter users with 24-hour protection.

If a fire alarm is activated, the pillow pad is triggered to give out an exceptionally strong vibration and a light on the night cradle flashes continuously to wake the user.
