This illuminated pillow can be operated in a few different modes, including a smooth moving rainbow, and a few styles of sound-reactive effects that use a seven-channel spectrum analyzer built into the LED driver.

The light is softened by the outer fur layer, as well as a second layer of diffusing material.

The pillow can be operated by a portable rechargeable battery pack, or plugged into an wall outlet for extended use.

The giraffe pattern fabric used for this pillow cover has been discontinued, but pillows with other cover fabrics are available in our online shop.
