Retro Tech Cushions

The Floppy Disk Pillow is a Comfy Tribute to the Past

— November 29, 2011 — Art & Design
Retro technology makes an adorable comeback with this cute, fluffy Deluxe Floppy Disk Pillow by mymimi. Perfect for snuggling up with on a dark and dreary day, this floppy friend is sure to brighten up anyone's spirits with its cute, smiley face and rosy cheeks. The pillow also boasts comfort to boot -- or rather, to reboot.

Featuring 100% fiberfill cased in a cotton exterior, this large pillow may not save any data, but it will provide premium cushioning for the ultimate storage backup, your head. It also makes for a great gift for tech fanatics and hipsters alike -- though if they are 20 or under they may not actually remember the dated disk technology. So if you're looking to rest your head on a truly old-school cushion, why not pay homage to an extinct form of innovation from yesteryear with the Floppy Disk Pillow?
