There are actually couples who sleep better and have better relationships when they sleep in separate beds. I feel like that’s a better solution to the “problem” the Layline is supposedly addressing. Snoring, blanket hogging and people who roll around too much in their sleep are the kinds of issues that cause problems when sharing a bed, and none of those are solved by a little stitched line that someone needs to actively feel around for. It’s a joke gift for a very specific “lol I can’t stand my spouse” market but I have no idea how two people thought it was a product that would carry any business, let alone an investable one.
