# Comfy Cushion Controllers Pillow Remote Controls are the Ultimate in Convenience By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-12-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-remote-controls References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/home/pillow-remote-control-aka-comfy-channel-switcher/) & [droold](http://www.droold.com/i/507-Pillow-Remote-Control-A-Remote-Youll-Never-Lose) Clumsy TV watchers can feel safer with the remote in hand now that it comes in a pillow remote control. With extra padding, the comfy cushion is an easy way to protect the sliding channel changers from dislodging internal parts when hitting the floor. If users are afraid of mashing buttons on the six-in-one universal remote, there is an Activate button located on the bottom right corner of the cushion so users can lounge freely on the pillow. While this pillow is a convenient protector, the pillow remote control also ensures that people will never lose track of where their controllers are, whether it be under the couch, between the seats or hidden by messy coffee tables. Unless the pillow is stepped on or stolen, in which the latter is more likely, users will never have to get up to adjust the volume again.
