Many of us keep our smartphones on the nightstand when we lay our heads down at night. Perhaps that’s what inspired a group of Canadian entrepreneurs to create a pillow-based charging system.
According to its backers, the Power Pillow is the world’s first pillow that recharges your smart devices. So if your charge is running low at the end of the day as you hit the couch, rather than being separate from your device while it charges on the kitchen counter you can just plug it into the throw pillow on your couch and keep it close at hand.
