While blogging about CHOCOLATES ON THE PILLOW, I ran across this post about a new program at Travelodge. I guess I don't stay there enough!
Just when you thought it was safe to check into a budget hotel, Travelodge has gone and introduced a cuddling pillow for lonely guests, aptly called the “Cuddillow”.
The Cuddillow concept follows on research of 2,000 solitary travellers, which found that 57% felt lonely sleeping without their partner when away from home. Sixteen per cent found it difficult to fall asleep and 9% felt scared sleeping on their own (ok, well, they’ve got other issues not likely to be solved by a cuddly pillow).
The survey also revealed 8% of lonely female travellers spray their pillow or night clothes with their partner’s aftershave when staying away from home, compared to 3% of men. However, 20% per cent of men admitted to cuddling a teddy bear in bed in contrast to just 15% per cent of women when their partner is not with them.
