But with pillows this geeky? They won't be able to stop talking pillows. Each Ctrl-Alt-Del pillow is handmade using eco-felt, a material consisting of 100 percent recycled plastic bottles! The letters are hand-cut and then appliqued to the pillow covers. Just don't lean too hard on the Ctrl-Alt-Del set, or you just might reboot your living room! **Implications** - The pillows were made to be soft, squishy and comfortable, measuring 12 inches on all four sides.
