Remember those days when mood rings are popular? Well, the mood cushion will carry on that tradition. The pillow remains white when it is off, but [glows in different colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-lamp) once it is turned on. Simply tap the pillow for it to turn on or off.

The mood cushion is super comfy and you can place it anywhere -- on the bed, [sofa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillo-sofa), or even the floor. If you ever want to brighten up your living room, this pillow is the way to go.
