Now, ‘ostrich pillow’ to cure travellers of jet lag

    Researchers claim to have found the ideal product to help travellers counter the ill effects of jet lag and long-haul flights. The ostrich pillow is a new portable device that, its inventors say, will “enable power naps anytime, anywhere,” including in airport lounges and on planes. Stuffed with synthetic material — “for maximum performance and lightness”, according to its inventors — the distinctive-looking pillow has a hole in which to put your head, and a mouth hole designed to allow its wearer to breath easily, a newspaper has reported.
    It also has two side holes where you can store your hands — if napping at a table in a library, for example.
    The concept was developed by Kawamura-Ganjavian, an architecture and design studio.
    Among other products, the company has also been responsible for developing the “ear shell” (a “sound enhancing device” that is attached to the ear), and a solar plug for charging portable computers. The pillow has been described on a technology website as like “a giant garden squash gone soft”. Its creators argue that it genuinely works, saying: “We have tried it in airports, trains, aeroplanes, libraries, at the office, on a sofa and even on the floor and it’s really wonderful.”
    With so much anxiety the world over on getting an adequate amount of shut-eye and sleeping right, the trend might be interesting to look at.
