Snuggling with [hunky manly men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters) is now a no-brainer with these cartooned cushions. The best thing about these headrests is that each one comes with a back story and a character description. The collection includes the lovely Braydon, Bo, Derrek, Sven and Jack. Each handsome dude has a different activity hobby that they excel in. For instance, Jack Lumberjohnson is an "axe wielding hottie [that] spends his free time rehabilitating injured and abandoned animals back to wild." And if you prefer a more sensitive guy, there is Sven Jorgenson, he "enjoys long walks on the beach and [cuddling by the fire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartwarming-hugs)." Elizabeth Pemberley has created the sweetest way to cuddle up on a chilly night. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Manly Pillows:** The trend of creating pillows with manly and rugged themes is disrupting the home decor industry, and offers opportunities to customize pillows for different hobbies and interests. - **Personalized Pillows:** The trend of including backstories and character descriptions with pillows is disrupting the home decor industry, and offers opportunities to engage customers and provide unique purchasing experiences. - **Humorous Home Decor:** The trend of creating pillows with humorous and unconventional themes is disrupting the home decor industry, and offers opportunities to create conversation pieces and appeal to niche markets. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can leverage the trend of manly and personalized pillows to appeal to male customers and offer customized options for different interests and hobbies. - **Gifts and Souvenirs:** The gifts and souvenirs industry can leverage the trend of humorous home decor to offer quirky and unconventional options for customers looking for unique gift ideas. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the trend of personalized pillows to showcase the creativity and craftsmanship of artists and designers, and offer customizable options for clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Man-Sized Cuddly Teddy Bears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loving-bear-puffy.md) - [Comforting Pillow Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comforting-pillow.md) - [Canadian Luxury Pillow Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femalefounded-luxury-pillow-brand.md) - [Exuberant Love-Inspired Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laura-dro-designs.md) - [Soothing Body Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soothing-body-pillow.md) - [Female-Founded Luxury Pillow Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-pillow.md) - [Oversized Hollow Pillow Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floof-snuggle-sack-and-floor-pillow.md) - [Weighted Knot Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hugget.md) - [Cheeky Self-Care Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/do-not-disturb-decor.md)
