If not for Kickstarter, we wouldn't be able to effortlessly grow our own herbs at home and use said herbs with a sous vide stick, nor would we be able enjoy better showers while saving water and stay cool as we sleep. Though the homes of the future increasingly harness the power of tech, sometimes simple products — like a supportive pillow or a cast iron pan — can improve our lives just as well.

All of the home and kitchen products below have found great success on Kickstarter, raising hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. They're listed in ascending order by funding amount. Impressively, a recently funded project, the Terraplanter, raised more than $6 million in its campaign.
