The Most Bizarre Products That Somehow Got Funded
1. The Ostrich Pillow
At first glance, the Ostrich Pillow looks like a wearable marshmallow for your head. Designed to help people nap anywhere, it wraps completely around your skull, covering your eyes and ears while leaving a small hole for breathing. The inventors swore it would revolutionize workplace power naps and travel snoozing. Despite looking like something out of a sci-fi comedy, it blew past its Kickstarter goal, raising over $195,000.
Social media had a field day with memes, yet that mockery only increased its visibility. People couldn’t resist trying it out “just to see what it felt like.” The absurd design became a kind of statement accessory for quirky productivity fans. Whether it truly helps with sleep or just earns you strange looks on the subway, it definitely proved one thing: if it’s weird enough, peoplewillfund it.
