The Power Pillow was invented to combat one of life’s saddest truths: power outlets are not always close to the couch. This pillow includes a pouch designed to store its included battery pack. The battery has two USB ports and has enough juice to fully charge an iPhone five times and an iPad one and a half times. The pillow is indistinguishable from regular couch cushions, save for its small zippered pouch.
The Power Pillow serves the needs of those who are always on their gadgets and provides a comfortable place to rest! The makers have taken to Kickstarter to fund their project and have set a goal of $30,000 CAD ($27,649). A pledge of $79 CAD secures one Power Pillow and battery pack.
