The pillow is marketed as a solution to people who run cold, particularly while at home, at work, or in a long car ride. The Cushi is powered by a set of wires that use infrared heating to ensure the top of the pillow runs hot, similar to [heated blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bohem-1). The side of the Cushi features a control panel with five heat and five duration settings. The duration settings choose how many hours the pillow will remain heated until it powers itself off to save energy and prevent fires. According to the company, the Cushi's battery lasts for roughly five hours before it needs to be recharged. Additionally, the pillow cover can be removed and the battery cell unplugs from the protected wires, allowing the pillow and its cover to be safely washed after use.
