Cushion Control pillows redefine button-mashing

While most remotes that show up on Engadget are decidedly on the geeky tip, the designers of the Cushion Control remote pillows don't care about all that macro and touchscreen nonsense. Italians Didier and Nicholas are pretty upfront about how they want their creations to be used: arguments over who has the remote should lead directly to pillow fights. While we applaud their motives, it looks like they failed to anticipate one crucial problem: what happens when you try to, you know, put your head on one of them?

Problem? What problem? As soon as you fall asleep, your head falls back onto the pillow, turning the TV off! Brilliant.

Didier is actually a Dutch guy, not Italian. He's a friend of mine, and has been working on stuff like this for a while – I'm stoked to see his work featured on Engadget! :-)

I need these in my life, where can I buy them? None of the shops on the droog website sell them in th UK.

Way to go Didier! From silence to Engadget, nice move :)

Those would be throw pillows... the type that are for "decoration" and you aren't supposed to put you head on them.
