Snoozy the Sloth
Snoozy the Sloth is a breathing plush toy— his chest expands and contracts, and air is exhaled through his mouth. Motorized pumps inject air into a latex lung in his abdomen. When the lung is full, the air is released via a solenoid valve in his mouth. Snoozy is designed as an intimate, yet passive, sleeping aid that relaxes and comforts a user, through the tactile experience of steady breathing patterns.
