The Japanese company Thanko has released a first of its kind giant gaming pillow, called the “Turn A Cushion.” It’s designed for gamers who want to play mobile games while sitting in one place for a long time – an unusual concept, but one that actually has quite a few advantages.
The pillow is named the Turn A Cushion because it’s shaped like a giant A that players wear around their waists. The pillow is designed so that players can rest their elbows on each side of it, allowing for a more comfortable, supportive gaming experience. There’s even a smartphone mount attached to an articulated arm, which is perfect for players who want to spend some quality time with the new Call of Duty Mobile maps without putting stress on their triceps.
The Turn A Cushion also comes with adjustable legs mounted on its bottom. This will allow users to chose the angle of the cushion, so they can adjust it to fit a particularly saggy couch, or perhaps a car seat that leans pretty far back. This will be a helpful feature for the players who are planning on putting in some serious hours in the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons game, which will be quite a lot of people.
In seriousness, it is important for gamers to look after both their physical and mental health. The World Health Organization recently classified compulsive gaming as a mental health disorder. Some gamers who suffer from addiction related issues can have serious problems with loot boxes. Gamers can also suffer from a number of physical issues resulting from poor posture, especially related to their necks and wrists. If this product helps to improves gamers’ posture, then it is certainly a good thing.
For players interested in the Turn A Cushion, it will have a price tag of 58 USD, which is just about the price of a new game. Thinking about it that way, it seems like a pretty good deal, but that’s up to consumers to decide. For players who do want to buy the Turn A Cushion, it can be purchased through Thanko’s official website. Now that one of the best Metroidvanias is now available on mobile devices, perhaps now’s the time to invest in a good cushion.
