Relationship Pillows Keep Long-Distance Lovers From Feeling Lonely At Night



Arguably one of the worst parts of being in a committed, long-distance relationship is that sad, lonely time each night before bed. There are ways to get around this, of course: you can call each other on the phone until one of you falls asleep, you can play that specially-curated mix tape filled with loves songs until you hit la-la-land or you can, you know, Skype with each other all night long until it's morning again (not recommended). But now, technology has come up with a new way of doing things: pillows that glow with the beat of your lover's heart.

The brainchild of Scottish designer Joanna Montgomery, "Pillow Talk" is the middle ground between those internet-connected-long-distance-vibrators and actual cuddling. The product, which has just recieved enough funding to take it to the mass-marketed level, works like so:

Each person has a ring sensor they wear to bed at night, and a flat fabric panel which slots inside their pillowcase. The ring wirelessly communicates with the other person's pillow; when one person goes to bed, their lover's pillow begins to glow softly to indicate their presence. Placing your head on the pillow allows you to hear the real-time heartbeat of your loved one.

The result is an intimate interaction between two lovers, regardless of the distance between them.

Obviously, even a super-fancy, high tech pillow that glows along with the heartbeat of the one you love won't replace actually being next to them. That said, it certainly might make for a delightfully romantic gift on the next anniversary of your long distance relationship! We'll keep you posted as to when these things are available for purchase.

People will spend their money on the most ridiculous shit.

Oh good god...no lol

And then they'll bitch that they're tired all day at work, while chugging coffee to stay awake, because they were up all night farting around with their freakin' pillows. . . go to sleep and spend your money more wisely, dammit. LOL

Wha?

LOL! That was my immediate thought almost word for word. People will spend money they don't have then complain of being broke.

Sigh......................

They want money for that?

LOL it's kinda cute! I'm in a long-distance relationship and I can see myself buying this off Groupon or something like that one day for 83% off.

Problem is, it DOES have the ability to be snitchy. Can't say you're going to bed and then meet a jump off. Next thing you know you're on the outs because your pillow didn't beat and glow when it was supposed to.
