For example, you might want a nap while leaning forward on a desk or table. Normally, this is doable, but not necessarily that appealing. With the Ostrich pillow, you place your head and hands inside the pillow and create a quiet, dark, private sleeping place.</p> <p>The first thing I thought of was trying to breathe inside this thing, but they included a hole for your mouth and nose. Preventing suffocation is generally a good thing.</p> <p>The device itself has not changed much since it was first shown off. It is still made with an interior that is designed to be soft, comfortable, and quiet. The big change is that you can actually purchase one, as long as the designers meet their goal on Kickstarter. There are a bunch of options for backing the project. If you get in soon you can grab one for US$60. This is limited to the first 300 backers. After that, you can pick up one for $75. As you go past this option, you get more pillows, and the price for each one is lower.</p> <p>If you would like to see the Ostrich pillow in action (or lack thereof) have a look at the Kickstarter video below.</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042205/http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ostrich-pillow/ostrich-pillow" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a></p> <!-- INTEL BANNER --> <div class="article_video"><iframe width="530" height="398" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042205if_/http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ostrich-pillow/ostrich-pillow/widget/video.html" frameborder="0"> </iframe> </div> <!-- stumbleupon_recommended --> <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- adstage = '2'; google_ad_client = 'pub-1607124478120364'; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_ad_channel = '5541773889+7414841517'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_skip = google_adnum; google_feedback = 'on'; google_ad_type = 'text'; google_image_size = '300x250'; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042205js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div> <!-- FM Content Well Zone Zone --> <!-- <script type='text/javascript' src='http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980'></script> --> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/ostrich-pillow-returns/24181/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042205/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/ostrich-pillow-returns/24181/"></div></div> <div class="as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042205if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Fostrich-pillow-returns%2F24181%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042205oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/ostrich-pillow-returns/24181/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/ostrich_pillow.jpg" data-description="The Ostrich pillow is the tool for napping anywhere, and you can actually buy one now."></div></div> <div class="as_button"><script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script></div> <div class="as_button" id="reddit_button_bar"><script type="text/javascript">reddit_newwindow='1'</script></div> </div> <!-- Polls --> <span class="title clear_left">About the Author</span> <div class="dotsontop" id="authorcontainer"> <!-- Bio Pic --> <a href="/web/20120920042205/http://www.gizmag.com/author/dave-leclair/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042205im_/http://images.gizmag.com/author_profiles/174.jpg" alt="Dave LeClair" id="bio_pic"/> </a> <!-- Bio Text --> <!-- <a href="/author/dave-leclair/">Dave LeClair</a><br/> --> Dave is an avid follower of all things mobile, gaming, and any kind of new technology he can get his hands on.
