# Deceiving Frozen Dessert Cushions The Ice Cream Pillow Will Instantly Make Your Mouth Water By Nicole Ballantyne-Choo | Published 2013-09-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-pillow References: [shopjeen](http://www.shopjeen.com/products/cookie-ice-cream-sandwich-pillow) & [wanelo](http://wanelo.com/p/8029967/1395606953) The ice cream pillow is a sweet way to fall asleep every night. This extremely [comfortable cushion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comforting-pillow) is designed to look like a delicious ice cream sandwich and having one look will make your stomach grumble. While it looks realistic and good enough to eat, it's unfortunately inedible. The pillow looks like a top of the line ice cream sandwich as it even comes with a bunch of chocolate chips incorporated into the design. The cushion is one way parents can encourage their [young children to go to sleep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-cubes); after all, who could resist hugging this delicious-looking pillow? If you're a student who's no stranger to pulling all-nighters, it probably isn't the best idea to study near the sandwich, as all it'll do is make your bed look even more inviting and encourage you to eat a snack and continue procrastinating. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Realistic Food-inspired Designs:** Opportunity for designers to create realistic, food-inspired products to appeal to consumers' senses. - **Novelty Home Decor:** Opportunity for manufacturers to create unique and eye-catching home decor items that add personal style and fun to living spaces. - **Emotional and Sensory Marketing:** Opportunity for marketers to tap into consumers' emotions and senses by creating products that elicit strong cravings or comfort. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Furnishings:** Opportunity for home furnishing companies to incorporate food-inspired designs into their product offerings to attract consumer interest. - **Novelty Gifts:** Opportunity for novelty gift companies to create unique and playful products, such as food-shaped cushions, to cater to consumers looking for fun and interesting gift options. - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to leverage emotional and sensory marketing by partnering with designers to create food-inspired merchandise like pillows that evoke cravings in consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crinkle-Cut Fry-Themed Body Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crinkle-cut-cuddler.md) - [Collectible Plush Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squishpillow-by-original-squishmallows.md) - [Ice Cream-Resembling Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-serve-lamp.md) - [Advanced Brain-Cooling Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-sleep-pillow.md) - [Oversized Chicken Sandwich Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-sandwich-snuggler.md) - [Oversized Sandwich Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-chicken-sandwich-snuggler.md) - [Comforting Pillow Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comforting-pillow.md) - [Anxiety-Reducing Weighted Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anxiety-reducing-weighted-pillow.md) - [Burger-Style Frozen Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosty-burger.md)
