About OstrichPillow

OstrichPillow is a design-led wellness brand that became a global viral sensation by reimagining the concept of the "power nap." Born from the creative minds at Studio Banana in 2012, the brand launched with a Kickstarter campaign for the Original Napping Pillow—a bizarre, helmet-like creation that allows users to essentially "bury their head" in a soft cocoon to sleep anywhere. While the design initially drew attention for its quirkiness, OstrichPillow has since established itself as a serious player in the travel and self-care market.

Based in Madrid, the company focuses on "Micro-Moments" of rest, offering a sleek range of ergonomic neck pillows, heated eye masks, and compression socks. They are best known for blending high-density memory foam with ultra-soft jersey fabrics to create products that offer instant privacy and comfort in public spaces like airports, offices, and trains.

Mission, Vision & Innovation

OstrichPillow’s mission is to "enable contemporary self-care," operating on the vision that in a hyper-connected world, people need tools to disconnect and recharge, even if just for 20 minutes. Their core innovation is the creation of Immersive Micro-Environments.

The Original Pillow wasn't just soft; it was designed to physically block out light and muffle sound while creating a warm, private space for the user’s head and hands. This philosophy extends to their Go Neck Pillow, which uses high-sensitivity memory foam and a unique 360-degree Velcro fit to provide total neck support without the "bobble-head" effect common with standard travel pillows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called OstrichPillow?

The name is inspired by the old myth that ostriches bury their heads in the sand to hide. The Original Napping Pillow is designed to let you do exactly that (metaphorically)—bury your head in the pillow to escape your surroundings and take a nap, regardless of the chaos around you.

Can I breathe inside the Original Pillow?

Yes, absolutely. While it looks like a full helmet, the Original Pillow features a large opening for the nose and mouth. It is designed to cover the eyes and ears for sensory deprivation (blocking light and noise) while ensuring plenty of airflow for comfortable breathing.

Is the OstrichPillow washable?

It depends on the model.

  • Original Pillow: This is generally Hand Wash Only (or spot clean). Because the microbeads or foam are integrated into the structure, you cannot remove the filling.
  • Go Neck Pillow: This features a removable, machine-washable sleeve. You can unzip the fabric cover and wash it, but the memory foam core should not be submerged in water.
What is the difference between the "Go" and the "Light"?
  • Go: This is a dedicated Travel Neck Pillow. It is made of memory foam, wraps tight around the neck, and compresses into a small bag. It is best for sleeping upright on planes.
  • Light: This is a Reversible Eye Mask / Mini Pillow. It is a ring of microbeads that sits over your eyes (as a mask) or around your neck (as a light scarf). It is less supportive than the Go but much more versatile for casual commuting or reading.
Does the "Go" pillow come in sizes?

No. The OstrichPillow Go is designed as "One Size Fits Most." It utilizes hidden magnetic closures or strong Velcro (depending on the version) that allows the user to tighten the pillow to fit their specific neck circumference, offering support for both thin and thick necks.
