Can the LightMate body pillow really replace the warmth of human companionship? The talented Francesca Lanzavecchia, who has designed the some amazingly fashionable body braces, has also designed the LightMate, a glowing heated pillow designed for you to cuddle when you need a friend.
Lanzavecchia says "LightMates are soft anthropomorphic pillows and warming lamps. This awfully attractive creature heats, lights and provides company. Their different sizes answer to everyone’s need of heat; a mate to hug or a huge companion you can lay on."
Personally, I'm thinking that this pillow looks a little like intestines; but if cozying up to the LightMate brings you pleasure, what does it matter how it looks?
