We featured the Ostrich Pillow earlier this year alongside 7 of the most ridiculous travel gadgets – and now they’re available in South Africa.

This curious item is described as:

“The Ostrich Pillow® is a novel and portable sleeping accessory, perfect for that impromptu nap. At your desk or on a plane, this pillow fits over your head surrounding you in a hushed micro-environment with soft comfort and warmth. It comes with three well-placed holes; one for easy breathing and two to keep your hands somewhere commodious.”

There are five different Ostrich Pillow options available from <wp:term_taxonomy>gear-categories African online design store Superbalist, but the question remains – would you really buy one, especially if it costs R1099.
