First word: Pillow

A pillow is a soft, squishy, feathery object that one rests his or her head on and is on a bed. This helps people sleep better and more comfortably. It is also provides head and back support. A synonym for pillow is cushion. Cushions are used more for couches and other chairs in the living room and other places in a home.

Second Word: Light Bulb

A light bulb produces light through a lamp or ceiling fan. It allows people to study late into the night. The invention of the light bulb is one of the most important and useful inventions of all time. Without it, people would have to go to sleep as soon as it got dark (and would be using their pillows).

Product Ideas:

1) Pillow in the shape of a light bulb

2) Pillow that is glow-in-the-dark

3) Pillow that will light up when you press a button

4) Pillow that could be an alarm clock flashing light to wake you up

5) Light bulb that the softness of a pillow

6) Reading light attached to a pillow

7) Small pillow that is also a light on one end that can be used as a flashlight for hiking and camping trips

8) Front and back car lights are inside thick pillows (less force if there is a wreck)

9) For student driving safety school, the walls could be padded for safety as well as turn the colors (green, red, and yellow) to signal different street lights.

10) Pillow that has a built in LCD screen on back side if you want to watch a movie. You simply flip it over when you are ready to sleep!

11) Pillow that has a little light attached that flashes every few minutes so you never loose you’re pillow-especially on camping trips.

12) Cushion you sit on for the car the glows around the edge. This could be handy so you could see inside your car if it is nighttime and you drop something.

There are a few products there that seem as though they could be viable options. One of them is the most basic- a pillow that is in the shape of a light bulb. This most likely already exists since there are pillows in just about every shape possible.

Another product idea that seems possible is a pillow that glows in the dark. This could possibly already exist too. There are many things that are glow in the dark-mainly for kids. This product would go great in a play room for kids.

My personal favorite product on the list is the pillow that has a reading light attached. I think that a minor alteration would need to be made so that one can take the light on and off. There would be a small attachment that would stay on the pillow at all times, and the light could clip on and off depending on whether you want to read or sleep. This could be a great product for traveling and/or in the home.

Another favorite of mine is the pillow that has a light at the end. This could be great for a flashlight during camping and backpacking trips. When it is time for bed, just click the small button and one would go to bed.
