The soufflet can be adjusted to raise the user's chest or legs without any effort. The portable pillow/booster seat can be used while reading, watching TV or sleeping and is equally comfortable indoors and outdoors. The [accordion-like structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acordion-modular-sofa) is made of [cotton fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smock-collection) and is equipped with an air pumping system that can be controlled with a switch. The Soufflet comes in blue and pink versions and can be adjusted to different heights. It can be used as a pillow or back support and also as a leg support.
