There are no many hands: a Canadian doctor has come up with a pillow for healthy sleep on the plane

A Canadian sports doctor has created a super pillow for sleeping on an airplane (and not only). You can "pull yourself together" and get a good night's sleep, sitting in any uncomfortable position.

Everyone knows inflatable and soft pillows for sleeping during trips, but the inventor of this cartoon hand went further and created a flexible and at the same time quite elastic mechanism that can be easily fixed in a comfortable position — exactly in which it is comfortable to rest.

Canadian sports doctor Sylvain Berube decided to make it easier for air passengers to sleep with his invention, presenting the original MonPere pillow — long and flexible, it ends with two large soft "palms" resembling the paws of the Sesame Street character.

The cuddle pillow is made of durable but soft silicone and is located inside a cotton cover that is easy to remove and wash. The structure can be folded into a compact ball, packed in a travel bag. Cartoon paws are easy to bend, wrap the seats with them and adapt as you like. And let such flexibility not be misleading — the developers of MonPere assure that this pillow provides sufficient support for the head in almost any position.

The Canadian launched a startup on the Kickstarter platform. His idea was appreciated, and he has already managed to raise about 112 thousand dollars to launch the pillow into production, although initially he needed only 35 thousand.

An unusual pillow seems to whisper: "Rely on me."

The pillow arm is designed to support correct posture during sleep. It is enough just to fix one end on the seat, and place the other where the head and neck should be. In addition, the MonPere can be used to install tablets or smartphones when watching videos, as well as to wrap flexible cartoon "hands" as a seat belt for additional support.

According to the inventor, the pillow not only helps to fall asleep sitting and provides a full rest, but also prevents back pain, and also reduces the risk of heart attacks after a long journey.

Before launching the pillow into production, Berube developed and tested it for four years. According to him, the shape of the palms is not psychological, but purely practical: he tested the pillow in different forms, and this one turned out to be the most practical and comfortable.

As the inventor of the hugging pillow himself admitted, he spent many years traveling and flying around the world, but just looking at how his daughter was suffering, unable to fall asleep in an uncomfortable airplane seat, he thought about creating a device that could make sleep easier for travelers.
