Dreaming of making millions

Founded in 2009 with the aim of creating a pillow that would be impervious to infection, Gabriel Scientific has seen its hermetically sealed pillow used in hospitals around Europe, but is not resting on its laurels and has ambitious growth plans, writes Trish Dromey

Dublin firm Gabriel Scientific is a small start-up company with very big plans. It has created the world’s first hermetically sealed pillow with a filter and is devising a strategy to develop sales on all five continents.

Selling under the brand SleepAngel, the pillow uses a patented PneumaPure filter technology to keep out bacteria, viruses, allergens, and all kinds of contaminants which can be found in ordinary pillows. Targeting sales to hospitals, hotels, and the retail sector, Gabriel Scientific aims to achieve global sales over the next five years.
