HandsOn wrist support
Elbows ache after a 10-hour working day. I know that I can’t work this long, but I can’t do it any other way, so this support really helps. I do it as follows: I put one under my right elbow on the end of the table, the other under my left elbow on the end of the table. The reverse side of the support is movable, and when you move your hands it follows them. VERY comfortable to type and use the mouse. This is how a simple thing can be brilliantly convenient!

I was not too lazy to climb in and write a review about this product. I've been using it for 2 weeks now, it works great! My elbows stopped hurting the very next day of use! Thank you for this simple but very necessary device. Pros: Ease of use is excellent, the skin is excellent! Cons: not convenient to use with an ultrabook, where the keyboard is much lower than the pillow. But this is probably not a question about the pillow.

Vitaly, thank you for your feedback! We are preparing a new support pillow especially for ultrabook users. The filler will not be polyurethane foam, but a gel that retains its shape. And the height will be within one and a half centimeters in a calm state (and about 8 mm under the weight of the hand).

I received this thing as a gift, along with an offer to write a review in exchange for a discount. I’m writing :) I want to buy another similar pillow for my second arm. The order number was 1552. A very convenient thing. I recommend to everyone!!!

Question

Andrey
HandsOn wrist support
Please tell me: - how is this pillow attached? - Doesn't it slide off the table? Mikhail, please tell me when we can expect a cushion for ultrabooks to be on sale, will it be suitable for a regular keyboard?

Answer to Andrey's questions

Mikhail (Ergotronics)
HandsOn wrist support
Andrey, the pillow is simply placed on the edge of the table. It slides quite easily along the table - this is done for ease of transition from the keyboard to the mouse and back. In general, it can really be swept off the table, but its shape and weight distribution itself is such that it does not fall off. On next week Pillows with heights of 16 mm and polyurethane foam filling will go on sale. Yes, the pad will be suitable for a regular keyboard. We'll try to make a video review one of these days.

I had the misfortune of ordering a product from this company. Not only did the manager never call, she simply sent the bill by email, but in response to all requests to call back, I was fed “breakfast”. After paying the invoice, the goods were sent to St. Petersburg by a different transport company than they were talking about, and the manager Irina also set the recipient of the invoice individual, although the invoice was issued to a legal entity. As a result, we were unable to receive the goods from the transport company. Now the manager is conducting some strange negotiations with the transport company and is not calling back. The period of stay of the goods in St. Petersburg is already expiring, and we still cannot receive the goods. Excellent work organization! Great staff!

Chronic lack of sleep negatively affects general condition health. Some suffer from insomnia due to complications of chronic diseases, others - due to DC voltage and inability to relieve stress. Wrong mode taught by students, especially those who are forced to combine work with study. And although managers are unlikely to appreciate a pillow for sleeping in the office, many employees will definitely like it. What models can be found on sale? What are their features and advantages?

What does chronic lack of sleep lead to?

Everyone has heard that you need to sleep at least 8 hours. During this time, the body has time to rest and recover. But not everyone knows that chronic lack of sleep is a cause for the development of serious diseases:

• obesity – when sleep patterns are disturbed, metabolism is disrupted and the production of stress hormones is activated, which cause a constant feeling of hunger;
• premature aging - at about 2 a.m. the hormone melatonin is produced most actively, which prolongs youth; In addition, due to lack of sleep, dark circles and bags under the eyes appear;
• decreased immunity - for those who sleep less than 7 hours, the body's protective functions weaken, which leads to frequent colds, fatigue, and general lethargy;
• cancer – lack of melanin can cause an increase in the number of cancer cells;
• diabetes – poor sleep disrupts the breakdown of glucose, which leads to the development of second degree diabetes;
• hypertension – those who get up before 8 o’clock have an increased chance of high blood pressure;
• vision – sleep problems can result in the development of glaucoma, ischemic neuropathy or papilledema.

And this is far from full list problems that people who have disrupted sleep patterns may face.

However, the inability to get enough sleep at home arises not only due to health problems, but also for many other reasons: a sick child, cheerful neighbors, an exciting TV series. Anyone looking for a little relief from daytime sleepiness will love a work nap pillow.

Types of pillows for sleeping in the office

Manufacturers do not forget about those who cannot get enough sleep at home normal conditions, and offer to use a pillow for sleeping at the workplace. These are the models we managed to find on the Internet.

Ostrich pillow

According to the manufacturer, An ostrich pillow will help you sleep comfortably anywhere: at your desk, in the airport lounge, on a bench in the park. The pillow is a soft helmet from a spacesuit.

The “cocoon” is put on the head and has slots for the hands. It helps you gain privacy and reduce noise.. There is no need to plug your ears with earplugs.

The pillow has a soft filling, so you can “lie down” in it on a hard table, for example, in the office or in the library when preparing coursework. In addition, you will find yourself in absolute darkness, which is also nice for those who want to get a good night's sleep.

Special ventilation holes in the design help you breathe calmly.

Tie pillow

This accessory can hardly be called orthopedic, but it can easily replace a pillow for sleeping in the office. An ordinary-looking tie has a built-in inflatable pillow, which at the right moment is quickly inflated and placed on the table. It inflates in a similar way to inflatable neck models or bath pillows.

The sleeping place is ready, and you don’t have to worry about a bruised face. Wherein no need to take off the tie, and if the bosses unexpectedly come with an audit, you can quickly take on the appearance of a disciplined worker (if your colleagues, of course, wake you up).

The American manufacturer offers more than 60 different color scheme ties, so choosing the perfect one for a business suit will not be difficult.

The inflatable pillow can support heads weighing up to 11 kg. You can use it not only at the workplace, but also during a long return from work on the subway or commuter train.

"Manual" pillow"

Studio "Banana Things" developed Ostrich mini pillow for sleeping at the workplace. You can put it on your palm and, resting your chin, take a nap. Another option is to put it on your elbow, place it on the table, and place your head on top. Pillow It has compact size, so it fits easily in a desk drawer. Ideal for napping during your lunch break.

By the way, you can make something similar yourself. You need to sew something similar to an arm sleeve and put a soft filler (foam rubber, padding polyester or other material) into this case. It is much more comfortable to sleep at the table on such a hand.

We wish you a good night's sleep the right conditions! A wide range of Ormatek pillows will help you with this. But, if sleep still finds you at work, use useful devices so as not to suffer after waking up from a stiff neck.

Relatively recently, a new, completely unusual sleeping accessory has appeared among products for sleep and relaxation - the “ostrich” pillow, designed for those who like to take a nap after lunch or while waiting. Appearance new pillow It makes many people smile, but, nevertheless, the innovation has already found many of its fans.

A convenient way to combat sleep deprivation

The creators of the invention were Kay Partillo Kawamutre and Ali Ganjavian, young designers from Spain, heads of the architectural studio Kawamura Ganjavian.

It is noteworthy that the design tandem decided to test its brainchild in New York - a city with a fast pace of life. Here the novelty quickly took root and began its triumphal march around the world.

The unique invention of Spanish designers was called “Ostrich Pillow”, which literally translates as “ostrich pillow”. Perhaps it owes its name to unusual shape. Or the reason for the name was the ostrich's habit of hiding its head in the sand - something similar to what someone who wants to sleep does, hides his head inside the pillow.

Externally, the ostrich pillow looks like a fantastic helmet that covers the eyes and ears. The mouth and nose remain open for comfortable access to oxygen.

Slightly above the ears there are two holes designed to prevent the head from sweating during sleep. In addition, they are very convenient to put your hands under your head when you decide to take a nap during your lunch break at work.

The upper part of the product is quite massive due to the internal soft filler, which allows you to sleep leaning against absolutely any surface.

Features and Benefits

Everyone has known about the benefits of sleep for a very long time. But the modern pace of life contributes to a constant reduction in the time allocated to sleep. The result is deterioration in performance and health, irritability and stress.

It can be used:

• for sleeping at work during lunch;
• rest during a long trip;
• while waiting at the airport or train station.

• Hypoallergenic.
• Good breathability, providing a comfortable microclimate inside the helmet pillow.
• Excellent sound insulation, allowing you to sleep even in crowded and noisy places.
• Comfortable shape and light weight, so there is no additional stress on the spine during sleep.
• Easy to care and store.

Materials

The creators of the new original pillow We took care not only of its functional properties, but also of the high quality of the materials used.

The cover of the product consists of high-quality knitted fabric - hypoallergenic viscose with the addition of elastane fibers. Thanks to this composition, the unusual pillow does not stretch or wear out even after large quantity washes

The internal filler is polymer granules, characterized by good elasticity, but at the same time providing sufficient softness.

The features of the material allow you to sleep comfortably, even with your head on a hard surface.

Range

Currently, the manufacturer of an unusual device for sleeping and relaxation offers two options:

• Classical, or, in fact, an “ostrich” pillow, by sticking your head into which you can isolate yourself from all external irritants and get a good night’s sleep, regardless of your location - lying on the sofa or just sitting on a chair at the table.
• Light or mini– light version. Outwardly, it looks more like a snood, which, if necessary, is pulled over the head. This option is much more comfortable to wear, and it doesn’t look so fantastic. However, it does not give such an effect of detachment from reality, does not allow you to completely isolate yourself from the surrounding noise and light.

Both models are gray on the outside, but the inside can be of different colors - from blue to acid yellow. Also, the inside can be decorated with different prints. The most popular are wide stripes and monograms.

Rules of care

In order for the ostrich pillow to serve its owner for as long as possible, you should follow simple recommendations for caring for it:

• It can be washed either by hand or in a washing machine. However, the first option is preferable.
• Wash the product in cool water with added liquid detergent, which rinses out of the filler faster than regular powder.
• When spinning, you should not twist the pillow too much - it is better to gently remove the water from it with your hands.
• You can dry it in a well-ventilated area or outside. In the latter case, you should avoid direct sunlight if possible.
• There is no need to iron this pillow. However, if necessary, the fabric can be straightened using a steam generator.

However, there is no need to wash such a pillow often - regular spot cleaning is enough.

Selection and purchase

Currently, you can purchase an ostrich pillow only in a few online stores. In this case, it is worth paying attention to:

• Manufacturer. The birthplace of original products is Spain. However, quickly assessing the advantages of the new product, several companies, in addition to its founders, began production of the new pillow. But as one would expect, the quality of most of these products is an order of magnitude lower than that of the original Ostrich Pillow.
• Compliance with all necessary quality and safety standards. When purchasing an accessory for sleep and relaxation, it would be a good idea to carefully read the certificates for it.

The cost of the product may vary depending on the size and pricing policy of the online store itself.

It will give you the opportunity to sit in the office, and at the same time relax as comfortably as in your own bed. Below are the most common and original views products.

This pillow for sleeping while sitting is really popular. Many companies are engaged in the production of headrests, offering unusual design solutions. This is an excellent choice for both adults and children. The products are able to support the head in a healthy position, relieving tension from the cervical spine.

Today on sale you can find headrest pillows for sleeping at work, made in the shape of funny animals: elephants, cats, giraffes and others. Single-color and multi-colored models in the shape of a semicircle are also relevant.

Sleeping headrests really make falling asleep easier. They are filled with many tiny beads and are easy to take needed by a person form. Universal size.

Ostriches

It is worth taking a closer look at these models. The development belongs to British designers. It allows you to fall asleep wherever you need to: on the train, at your workplace, in a cafe. The name of the pillow was given not by its shape or color, but by its operating principle. The product is made in the shape of a huge bag. The design has three holes: for the head and for the hands. By sticking your head in such a bag, you will hide like an ostrich in the sand.

Despite its large dimensions, the product is quite compact and lightweight. It won't take up much space when folded. The giant headdress is capable of covering the head completely - from the crown to the shoulders. In addition to the above holes, there are small holes for the mouth and nose.

One of the features of the ostrich pillow is its double-sided design. On one side it is blue, on the other it is gray. The product is made of very soft and delicate material on both sides. And therefore you will not feel any discomfort while resting.

The development is really convenient and thoughtful. The design is such that the corresponding compartments take the shape of the neck and head, allowing you to rest in comfort. You don't have to worry about a stiff neck or headache after sleep. Even the seams are made in such a way that the pillow seems to be a single whole.

Easy synthetic material, which the “ostrich” is filled with not only provides the neck and head with the necessary support. But it also protects hearing from extraneous sounds. Your sleep will be sound and restful.

Such pillows have more traditional look, in comparison with "ostriches". They can be used at home, in the office or inside the car. They support the spine in a healthy position and are an excellent preventive measure against postural disorders.

Anti-stress models or so-called mnushki should be included in this category. Just like in headrest products, there is a special filler inside them (tiny balls). They are able to relieve fatigue and tension from the body. If you knead them in your hands and hug them, you can also get rid of nervous tension and stress.

The product has an effect rising sun, thanks to which you will wake up softly. And not abruptly and immediately, as with a regular alarm clock. It is known that painless awakening takes just 40 minutes.
