Hasta La Gadget!

Remember the Ostrich? It’s kind of like a pillow that you can wear over your head so you can take a nap or get some rest, anytime and anywhere you feel like taking a breather. It looks like a cushy helmet with a huge opening in front for your face.

It started out as a concept that quickly went viral because it was just so unusual. Now kids can’t get in on the action and grab some shut-eye whenever they’re tired because the folks behind Ostrich just unveiled the Ostrich Junior.

As the name implies, Ostrich Junior is a smaller-sized version of the Ostrich. It’s intended for kids who are 6 years old and above. It makes sense for them to make one in this size, since kids are napping all the time, regardless where they currently are. At least with the Ostrich Junior, nap time is infinitely more comfortable.

The Ostrich Junior pillow comes in two designs: Berry Snooze and Dreamy Waves. It retails for $75(USD). You can find out more about it on Studio Banana’s website.

Who does not want to have a good night’s sleep, especially when the day has been more than stressful enough? A great mattress as well as pillow to support your back and neck well is always important so that you wake up feeling refreshed instead of being more tired, not to mention ensuring that you will be able to tackle the next day’s tasks with a greater vigor than ever before. Having said that, the kind of material that you use in your bedding is also extremely important, and here we are with Technogel that could be the future of performance bedding material. Technogel is malleable and durable enough to be used in art installations, car interiors and desk accessories in the past, but it seems that this patented soft-solid material will finally make the jump to the bedroom.

Many people would ask, why bother bringing Technogel to bed? For starters, it will be able to help you sleep better, as there will be less stress placed on your pressure points in the neck and shoulders – resulting in a lower amount of tossing and turning. That in turn, would give you (and your partner) a more restful sleep, while making you feel comfortable. It works like a second skin since it will shape itself according to your body for stress relief. Would you get a bed or pillow with a layer of Technogel within?

Artist/Nintendo fan/Sleep gamer Donna Marie Evans made her own Nintendo 64 controller pillow. It’s made of polar fleece and cotton and has embroidered letters and buttons. Now Donna can do a barrel roll in her sleep.

Donna said she might be able to sell copies of the pillow if she gets hold of more materials. Send her a note on her deviantART page if you want one. And while you’re there, ask her to make an N64 console bed!

I was just thinking about picking up some new pillows for our bed, since I think I need something with a little more support. While a good firm pillow can help you sleep better, I don’t think that sleeping on a log is particularly good for your head and neck. That is, unless it’s this plush log pillow.

The Log Pillow is made by Kikkerland, and it looks like the perfect place to catch a nap while lying on your couch, bed, or in your sleeping bag in the woods. Thankfully, it’s not filled with hardwood, but instead it’s packed with the type of polystyrene beads you’d find in a bean bag.

It measures about 15″ long and 6.5″ in diameter, and sells for $18(USD) over at Fredflare. Or you could just go buy some firewood and try and put your head on that.

Listen! If you are going to rescue your princess and then be wed, it’s all about presentation. Do it right and get something like this Legend of Zelda Ring Bearer Pillow. She will be glad you did and she will say yes faster than you can button mash.


Of course if it is anything like these classic games, she will just get herself in trouble again and you will have to rescue her all over again. But until that happens, you can get this beautiful pillow from Etsy seller Red Panda Gifts for $45(USD).

Not sure what that works out to in rupees though.
