Japanese Lap Pillow

In a story posted by Reuters.com, the Japanese Lap Pillow is the next big thing. I can see why. The little misses is out of town on business and you can't sleep. The Lap Pillow to the rescue! Or, as the ad states, the target market is for bachelors in their 20's or 30's before marriage. Just the thing to keep them home at nights I imagine.



The Reuters story goes on to discuss the success of the Lap Pillow this last Christmas shopping season.

The 9,429 yen ($90) pillow, which comes with one red and one black skirt, went on sale in late November and maker Trane Co Ltd says shipments have reached 3,000 in just a few weeks. "We created this item to help tired people relax," said Makoto Igarashi, Trane's managing director.

Well I guess I'll settle for the real item. This looks a little creepy to me.

To be fair, there is a Man Pillow on the market, but this is old news. Ok girls, you can get an "arm pillow" on the web anytime. Now you know that we run a fair and balanced thing here. Extremism is one thing but you have to be balanced after all.



So, if the rain does not stop and you want to cuddle up for a little nap, there are no more excuses.
