Long-distance relationship pillows
Scottish designer Joanna Montgomery designed a pillow for couples in long-distance relationships. Each person wears a ring sensor to sleep at night. When one person goes to bed, their lover's pillow begins to glow softly, and you can hear each other's heart beating!

the only thing i'd wonder is if it's safe -- all those wireless signals! still, it's so romantic :)
Now there's a concept! What will they thing of next?!
but if its a loooong distance relationship.. they probably wont be going to sleep at the same time due to the time difference isnt it?
Can this be real? I wish I'd had this for the last 2 years... So cute and romantic!
Oh my. SO romantic. I'm going to admit that it makes me a little gooey inside just thinking about it!
what the what?!!! maybe I love this idea :)
Oh my gosh! This is amazing!! Love it - I mean it doesn't make it totally easier, but it would help.
Much love,

I want to be a bitter old hag about this (probably one too many long distance relationships on my end), but this even melts my heart. How sweet.
This is the sweetest and yet weirdest thing I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!
Haha - so bizarre. I'm in a long distance relationship and I'm not quite sure how I'd feel about sleeping on a glowing pillow.
i need one!
Aww that made me tear up! I'm in a long distance relationship and I would love this. Because hugging a regular pillow doesn't always work! :-) If I sprayed his cologne on it, I'd be in heaven.
Wow, that's a crazy invention! Would love to try it out...
such a wonderful idea. My boyfriend is gone for a month at a time, for work, and we have no contact with one another. Wonder how it would work for time changes?
if i wasn't married to my long distance then i would be asking for this for christmas! although my distance was China to US, so it wouldn't have worked as well for us!
OMG! I would have loved to have one of these when my boyfriend and I were long distance. How sweet.
I really like the concept of it but at the same time it's slightly weird. haha.

Is it awful that I laughed at this? I get that it could mean a lot when you're in a long distance relationship though.
Half creepy, half adorable!! I did long distance for a long time, and this would have been nice!

Romantic but a little strange and that glow would get to me. Also after a while I'd probably not want the real thing. LOL.
WOW!!! Is this sweet...or is technology getting scary!!...WOW! I'm not gonna be the judge. My love isn't far away! :-]
Strange, but romantic. I wonder about safety of these pillows..
Wow-
Someone had a great idea!

That's really sweet!:)
Sorry, creeps me out.
Wow! Sounds sweet, but also a little like something from a sci-fi movie.
oh god, i want them:)they have to be so soft....:)

Whaaatt??! What a crazy wonderful idea!
that's SUPER sweet...but i'm not sure how i feel about the heart beating. i think it would keep me up! :)

What a brilliant idea! My husband and I used to date cross country when we met. I lived in San Diego and he in NYC. Then we lived together in NYC for 5 yrs and SD for 3. We recently moved back to NY but I travel back to SD every other 2 weeks for my business. These pillows would be great to have in our situation. :)
Sweet and heart wrenching at the same time... I think it would make me miss my guy even more.
Wouldn't this be amazing for our soldiers...I would have loved this when my husband was in Iraq. I already hugged his pillow everynight and sent him a pillow case with my face one it. But this, this would have been like giving him a hug everynight.
swoon! that is so sweet/sad. I would definitely miss my boyfriend ten times more, but knowing you're both thinking about each other at the same time would be so nice.
I find this both hilarious and kind of creepy.
Cute! Unfortunately I could see it making people crazy - nothing could make long distance more stressful than keeping tabs on when their partner is getting home/to bed!
But what if the pillow didn't light up one night... then you would know that they didn't make it home. Then you're up all night long worried/pissed.
so cute and romantic (at first), but i can definitely see some issues that might develop...haha!
not the intent at all, but that's life!

In spite of the fact that the whole concept is kind of weird, my heart melted a little watching that video and my eyes get a little teary. I'm such a sap. Long distance relationships are hard! I'm so glad that phase of my life is over :)
Ok, so I'm a party pooper. I think it's very strange. I wouldn't be able to sleep for laughing.
xoxo,
Courtney
Oh my goodness...I'm slightly embarrassed but I teared up a little while watching that clip! haha! Also...the girl looks so familiar! I think she might have played 'Dawn' (Pam's character) in the original BBC series "The Office".

aww this is just so cute.
I've always said I'd never do long-distance relationships (I know, never say never..), but if I ever tried, this would be so cool to have!
(unless it keeps beating all night and I can't sleep haha)
Nice one
xoxo

I love this -- thank you, technology!
What!!!??? That is absolutely adorable!!
My goodness, this is amazing! When my husband and I were engaged, and across the Atlantic from each other, his parents got us pillows with each other's photo on them. I loved it!
how romantic!! though i agree with you, i would wonder about any health risks with all of those wires and sensors!
Awww the concept is really sweet! We did the LD thing from England to Texas so my pillow might have glowed a bit early! ha!
awww what a sweet concept.
Is that for real?! That's pretty cool, really.
what a great idea! I was in a long distance relationship for over a year and I would have loved to have this pillow.
This is unbelievable! So cool.
If my husband and I had this while he was on tour, I don't know if we would be married today. I can imagine sitting there at 4am waiting for that d*mn pillow to light up.
This is very romantic but my bf works super late at night and I think it would stress me out knowing he wasn't resting! I do sleepy with one of his t-shirts as a pillow case, though. Makes me feel like he's still close by.
It's a cute idea, but I think the sound of the heart beat would keep me up!
really? i think its one of the most disturbing things i've seen in a long time. no offense meant to anyone, its just my opinion.
So romantic! It would be even sweeter if you could get the pillow to smell like the person too. Sigh.
Creepy product, creepy video, creepy couple. But whatever floats your boat!
Hmmm. Not sure i can get on board- I think it might creep me out to hear a disembodied heart beat!
I do like the light up factor (like a gloworm, remember those?!) BUT agree with the commenter above that waiting for your pillow to light up might drive a girl crazy.
I saw this a few weeks ago and secretly thought it was so precious {everyone around me was hollering about how creepy it was}. I agree with you, I think it's romantic
How sweet! My boyfriend and I are 10,000 miles apart (I'm in the U.S. and he is in Australia). I would love this--even though we sleep at opposite times of the day. Luckily, I will be returning to Oz soon, to be with him.
very cute idea-but i wonder how close you need to be...
natalie, that's hilarious. it would be so great for soldiers--except for the time change!
I think that this is partly weird but mostly problematic. Feels rather Big Brother-ish.
I love this!!
So cool and so creepy all rolled into one!
Yuck, yuck, yuck and oh yes, yuck. Completely creepy!
'Where were you last night??? My pillow didn't start glowing till 3am!!!!'
I am fascinated!
wow, I'm in a long distance relationship and I got all teary thinking about how sweet this is. Probably not for every couple (obv a few commenters have trust issues), but would be awesome for us to feel closer to each other!
Super creepy, yet, super awesome.
Aw, this is such a cute idea! I'm in a long distance relationship and I have to tell my boyfriend about this! Thankfully for us, we live in the same time zone so we go to sleep around the same time too.
Hmm. I think they should market this to military spouses. As one I'd love to have this! Even though my husband is in a different time zone right now I still go to bed close enough to his bed time. I wonder if that light would wake me Up though. ?
That's adorable.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea. I want one!!! It'd be great for when my hubby goes off hunting for weeks at a time!
thats so cute! :)

i wish i had had this when boyfriend and i were long distance! love it!
Long distance is the pits. This idea kind of seems a little sad-ish... like the person would feel more lonely in loco partner? Is it just me?
I want one. My honey is deploying again in a year and I can't stand the idea of sleeping without him next to me!
Really? Haha, I think this would drive me crazy! I have to cover my alarm clock to fall asleep, so a glowing pillow would just be irritating for me. And I don't recall hearing my partner's heartbeat when we sleep together, I don't use him as a pillow... The idea itself is adorable, but I would never want to use one of these. As much as I wanted my partner around when we spent 5 months long distance, I kind of liked having a big bed to myself!
I wish I had know about these when my boyfriend and I were long-distance from California to Kentucky!
Now we're happily down the street from each other :)
This is an adorable idea, but... I don't think I could sleep well. It would remind me too much of "The Tell-tale heart."
I am not even in a long-distance relationship and this made me tear up. So sweet! Although, knowing me I would probably stay up too late waiting for my sweetie to go to bed. Not out of mis-trust, but just because I wanted to feel like he was with me.
This is such a amazing idea! Even though we got 7 hours time difference and we aren't going to sleep at the same time, I would love to have such pillows :)
or maybe a miniture thing to put on my desk... :)
not sure about this one. did make me giggle, though.
ooooh! it's so romantic!...but that's a pity that I haven't got a boyfriend...:(

Oh, man! They should have invented this a few years ago, before I came to the States to marry my American man, haha. We had a long distance relationship for 3 years and 3 months! We saw each other 3 times (a total of 30 days) before we got married :p.
Equal parts bizarre and incredibly romantic. So much for telepathy between couples!
That is crazy awesome!!!

how sweet!
This is so sweet. If we were still long distance I would jump at this.
I agree with Mai-ke: Maybe a little light up ball on your desk when one person with the ring touches it, the other far away glows and lets their faraway love know they're being thought of.
Just started crying over this. My 5-year long distance relationship ended in March and I'm still so sad about it. This is just the sweetest.
I'm in a long distance relationship and I think I might be too embarassed to suggest this to him haha. I like it instead that he just texts me goodnight and I love you right before he goes to bed every night :)
Also, watch the trailer for "like crazy", it looks like a really cute/sad movie about long distance relationships
What an incredible gift for all of the military wives. Anyone who could be disturbed by this clearly hasn't said goodbye to her husband for a year. Even if the pillow began to glow when I was getting ready for work- it would be such a gift to have that peace of mind.
That is so sweet, I got all teary-eyed and my husband's sitting right here next to me! Guess all those years of long distance made me a little sensitive. Love the idea.

Welp, this is the sweetest & most romantic idea ever. I'm about eight and a half months away from marrying my sweetheart who lives a couple hours away. Not the longest long-distance relationship, but I do miss him. I would love to cuddle up with a glowing pillow (:
This is incredibly sweet!
I wish I had one of those when I was in a long distance relationship.
For the first ten years of our relationship my boyfriend and now husband was in a band. When he was touring in Europe we wouldn't see each for months and this was before international cellphones! These would have been great! Although, not sure if he'd be able to pull it off in front of the other dudes in the band. He would have to make up a macho lie about why his pillow was glowing and beating :)
I wish someone would have came up with this 4 years sooner! SUCH a cute idea, hope it goes up for sale soon so I can purchase!
oh my gosh that is SO sweet and if both people are romantics I'm sure it'd totally be a hit.....but I can also see it possibly causing some "why is it so late and you're still not in bed?" drama lol :)
I can't stop laughing! Seriously, it's really some kind of lo jack for your lover, right? How could you ever fall asleep if his pillow never lit up? First I'd be mad, then scared that he was in a car accident then I'd go crazy thinking he was having an affair.
Silly pillow but thanks for sharing!
2 pillow talk, please! :)
love it...
how awesome is that! i think though i would constantly stay away staring at the pillow wondering about my other if the heart was too fast, too slow. but then thats the overthinker in me. :)
oh, i love this idea. my husband and i have been living apart for a year - and we've only been married for a year too! this week is our last week apart, we're moving 8000 km to be together (the removalists are here now!) but this is such a beautiful idea. it would just help to feel close to each other while you sleep, which is one of the loneliest times when you are apart! this make my heart warm :)
This is so sweet!! ahh!!xo http://hannahalehandra.blogspot.com/
as someone thats been in a long distance relationship this is a genius idea.. super cheesy but great
love it

I visited their webpage, and it is stated that it is just a project so far. I was very interested in the product, though...
More info on http://www.littleriot.co.uk/?q=node/11
Gahh!!! I love it :)!!
This is so cool!
This made me want to cry! My guy and I were 3,000 miles apart for 6 months...would have loved a pair of those pillows back then. I stole his favorite sweatshirt to sleep with every night. Thanks for sharing!
I am really interested in what you wrote here. I hope you give me more interesting topics to read on.
I was looking for such a feature.Hope to read more interesting articles.Thank you for this.great job.
I love this! Cool ways to use technology!
So cute....
joanna!! this made me cry!!
That's so sweet. What a wonderful idea!
Love,
Nancy
ummm this is so incredibly romantic and the BEST thing i've heard all week! this would even be adorable for when your spouse goes away on buisness trips.... mmmmm i love romance!
xx, kara
So sweet!
Thanks for sharing :)
That's crazy. Does it work for ALL long distance relationships? Like overseas? Or just across the nation?? And it's wireless, like internet status?? Sounds interesting..
romantic and really one of a kind!
(safe?)
I highly doubt it would work for ALL. unless this thing has a satellite phone and a billed everything minute it wouldn't work for us LOL (He's at sea! no cell service in the middle of the ocean)
maybe 17 years being a Navy wife has made me think it's a bit too much if you are still safe and likely in the same country.
I don't think I could have handled this while my husband was on tour. He worked nights, so he really was in bed while I was, but I would have gotten no sleep. I would have missed him so much more.
What if he or she isnt in bed sleeping when the should be? i predict long distance problems lol
This is so cute
wow i need one of those!
Wow, I need me one!!!! :)
omg! We were LD for years and now we're married (yay!), but I kinda want to send him away for one night just so we can try these :)
omg i want i want.. just for the fun of it...don't have a special someone lol
Omg these r awesome!! My love is deployed to afganstan , so would these still work? Bc I would sooo get them!!
hmm... i think mobile connection is enough for me.
It is a very common and nice relation. Mostly people have this kind of relation. I like it.
Thanks
Interesting and nice information. Many people have this thing.
Thanks
Yeah !! love it me also.
Really like it this blog and information also.
Superb information love it when i sleep this will help me ...
Pillow and me have a great relation when i sleep and i fight with someone at home with my younger.
This blog give us really a nice and good information i like it.
Love it this blog and information.
Many people use this thing in different work also like bad things it's not good.
Thanks
This would also be good for those "overnights" for your kids (Spouse visitation, etc..), so they know you are always there!
