Pillow "ostrich"

Relatively recently, among the products for sleeping and resting, a new, completely unusual bedding accessory has appeared - the "ostrich" pillow, intended for those who like to take a nap after dinner or while waiting. The appearance of the new pillow makes many people smile, but, nevertheless, the innovation has already found many of its fans.

The creators of the invention were Kay Partillo Kawamutre and Ali Ganjavianu - young designers from Spain, heads of the architectural studio Kawamura Ganjavian.

It is noteworthy that the designer tandem decided to try out his brainchild in New York - in a city with a fast pace of life. Here the novelty quickly took root and began a triumphant march around the world.

A unique invention of Spanish designers is called "Ostrich Pillow", which literally translates as "ostrich pillow". Perhaps, it owes its name to an unusual form. Or the reason for the name was the ostrich habit of hiding its head in the sand - about the same does the one who wants to sleep, hides his head inside the pillow.

There are two openings just above the ears to keep the head from sweating while sleeping. In addition, it is very convenient to stick your hands in them to put them under your head, deciding to sleep during your lunch break at work.

The upper part of the product is quite massive due to the internal soft filler, which allows you to sleep, leaning against absolutely any surface.

Everyone has known about the benefits of sleep for a very long time. But the modern pace of life contributes to a constant reduction in the time spent on sleep. The result is a deterioration in performance and health, irritability and stress.

It can be used:

• for sleeping in the workplace during lunch;
• rest during a long trip;
• while waiting at the airport, at the train station.

In addition to its versatility, the pillow has other features:

• Hypoallergenic.
• Good breathability for a comfortable microclimate inside the helmet cushion.
• Excellent sound insulation, allowing you to sleep even in crowded and noisy places.
• Comfortable shape and light weight, so that during sleep there is no additional load on the spine.
• Simplicity of care and storage.

The creators of the new original pillow have taken care not only of its functional properties, but also of the high quality of the materials used.

The cover of the product consists of high quality knitted fabric - hypoallergenic viscose with the addition of elastane fibers. Thanks to this composition, the unusual pillow does not stretch and does not wear out even after a large number of washes.

Internal filler - polymer granules, characterized by good elasticity, but at the same time providing sufficient softness.

Currently, the manufacturer of an unusual device for sleeping and resting offers two of its options:

• Classic, or actually, a pillow "ostrich", putting your head into which you can fence off all external stimuli and get a good night's sleep, regardless of where you are - lying on the couch or just sitting on a chair at the table.
• Light or mini - light version. Outwardly, it looks more like a snood, which, if necessary, is pulled over the head. It is much more comfortable to wear this option, and it does not look so fantastic. However, it does not give such an effect of detachment from reality, does not allow one to completely isolate oneself from the surrounding noise and light.

Both those and other models on the outside are gray, but inside they can be of different colors - from blue to acid yellow. Also, the inner part can be decorated with different prints. The most popular are wide stripes and monograms.

In order for the "ostrich" pillow to serve its owner as long as possible, it is worth following simple recommendations for caring for it:

• You can wash it either by hand or in the washing machine. However, the first option is preferable.
• The product is washed in cool water with the addition of a liquid detergent, which rinses out of the filler faster than regular powder.
• When wringing, do not twist the pillow too much - it is better to gently drive off the water from it with your hands.
• You can dry in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. In the latter case, it is worth avoiding direct sunlight if possible.
• There is no need to iron such a pillow. However, if necessary, the fabric can be straightened using a steam generator.

Currently, you can buy an ostrich pillow only in a few online stores. In this case, it is worth paying attention to:

• Manufacturer. The birthplace of original products is Spain. However, quickly assessing the merits of the novelty, the production of the new pillow, in addition to its founders, was started by several companies at once. But as one might expect, the quality of most of these products is an order of magnitude lower than that of the original Ostrich Pillow.
• Compliance with all necessary quality and safety standards. When purchasing an accessory for sleep and relaxation, it will not be superfluous to carefully read the certificates for it.

Initially, designers developed a pillow for a working person so that during a break at work he could make up for the lack of sleep and fully rest, thereby increasing his efficiency and immunity.

However, after its appearance, the novelty gained wide popularity among:

• travelers and business travelers;
• students living in dormitories;
• young parents.

The uniqueness of the Ostrich Pillow makes an ambiguous impression. However, there are no disappointed ones among those who decided to purchase this original product. Owners of the "ostrich" pillow note that they can now fully relax in any environment, sleep on a hard surface, for example, on a desk in the office or sitting in an airport lounge. With such an accessory, not a single minute is wasted, but is used to make up for the lack of sleep and restore your strength.

The invention was highly appreciated by young parents, especially dads, in whose family a child recently appeared. With such a pillow, they can calmly sleep at night and in the morning, getting up to work, they feel completely rested and full of energy.

However, with all the advantages of the innovation, users noted some of its disadvantages. For example, good sound insulation does not allow you to hear an alarm clock or a message about a stop in transport. But the owners of a creative pillow-helmet do not make a problem out of this - it is enough to ask others to wake up the sleeping person in time.
