Ostrich Pillow Thingy For Napping At Work

Ostrich Pillow Thingy For Napping At Work
If there's one thing that feels good it's sleeping on the man's dime and not getting fired for it. And while some lock their office doors and play audio of themselves on the phone or opt to sleep in the trunk of their car, I'm more of a traditionalist: passed out on the handicapped commode in the bathroom with my head between my legs. Nobody ever gives me a hard time because nobody ever wants to hear about my bowel trouble. I mean, I'll tell you, but not if you want to eat today or tomorrow or the next day. Enter the Ostrich, a pillow thingy designed to mimic the ostrich's 'head in the sand' style of catching bees. "You mean Z's?" No Sherlock, I'm pretty sure they eat bees.

OSTRICH offers a micro environment in which to take a warm and comfortable power nap at ease. It is neither a pillow nor a cushion, nor a bed, nor a garment, but a bit of each at the same time. Its soothing cave-like interior shelters and isolates our head and hands (mind, senses and body) for a few minutes, without needing to leave our desk.
Plus it makes it really uncomfortable to breathe, so you'll probably wake up thinking you were buried alive. And speaking of being buried alive: once in my misguided youth, I actually buried a worm alive. "Yeaaaaaaah, it probably lived." No, you don't understand -- it was at sea. And that was after I'd impaled him on a hook but right before a a fish ate him OH THE HUMANITY.

Checking for Quality and Comfort

Checking for Quality and Comfort
Step 1
Ask how the feathers have been treated or processed to reduce allergens, assure cleanliness and eliminate odors. If information is not included with the packaging and your vendor cannot provide this information, check the manufacturer's website. Most manufacturers who take extra steps to insure the cleanliness and safety of their feathers will say so in their on-line information pages.
Step 2
Feel the pillow to determine its degree of softness and also to feel for quills. If the feathers are too large you will be able to feel individual quills. Not only will this produce discomfort, but it will also be an indication that the pillow will lose loft more quickly than pillows stuffed with smaller and finer feathers.
Step 3
Listen to the pillow. If you squeeze and rub the pillow as you hold it to your ear, you will hear larger quills rubbing together. Consider that you will hear this as well when you are trying to sleep.
Step 4
Ask where the feathers are placed within the pillow. Some feather pillows feature an outer core of down or other material that add comfort and help keep quills from poking through the covering material and protect you as well from allergens produced by the feathers.
Step 5
Read the washing instructions. A good quality feather pillow should be machine washable and should come with detailed care instructions.
