Comforting Cushion Companions

The ‘Hugby' Novelty Vibrating Pillow is a Bit Controver

Ever been on the phone and felt a pang of loneliness while talking to your significant other or close friend? Fear not lone rangers, Hugby Vibrating Pillow Companions are the answer you’ve been searching for. Now you can talk to your loved ones and feel close to them at a distance.

Taking its cue from various other novelty pillows, the Hugby cushion plays upon the human form and is designed to be held, cuddled and possibly, even caressed. The Hugby Pillow allows an interactive conversation experience as it “vibrates in sync with the voice of the person you’re talking to over the phone.” You’ll feel the distance dissipate between you and your companion with the Hugby.

The extra sensory exposure this product provides, including the synced vibrations and body-shaped pillow, will make users feel like the person on the other end of the line is not only in the same room, but also in their arms. Essentially individuals feel closer to the person on the other end of the line with Hugby’s features.
