Nightlights for adults would be a lot more socially acceptable if they came in the form of the In Soft pillow. The In Soft pillow is a deceptive design that, at first glance, looks to be a normal pillow. A simple squeeze reveals this pillow's true purpose; it's an adult nightlight.
The In Soft pillow was designed by Takaaki Oguchi and is a Lightning Award Winning design. The pillow does not generate as much heat as would be expected as its light source is an LED bulb that doesn't burn hot enough to cause discomfort. The only issue I can see with this light is in the way its activated. Rough and tumble sleepers could very well turn the In Soft pillow on several times a night!
