This quirky 'Royal Twintail' [body pillow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therapeutic-pillow) from Japanese company Bibi Lab is designed to embrace sleepers for a comfortable night's rest.

This unique [sleeping accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comforting-pillow) consists of two cushioned tails running down from a comfortable [microbead headrest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-9-pillow). As users sleep, they are actually sandwiched between the two cushions for a cuddly embrace. The two comfortable cushions also feature a grooved design so they actually mold towards a person's body posture while they're sleeping through the night.

The 'Royal Twintail' is available in two different color options, either black or blue-green, and is also equipped with a "straight cut bangs" hood attached to the headrest. Anyone looking to block out external light while sleeping can slip the hood over their head for an extra bit of privacy.
