A rest pillow for gamers

1 Comment

Playing video games is a pastime that’s become increasingly popular over the last few years. From cozy gaming to action and tactical games, there are more genres now that cater to a broader audience. But, like all things, it’s crucial to keep gaming in moderation.

It’s not uncommon for gamers to experience “gamer’s thumb” or, in more severe cases, disk problems in the lower back. Taking breaks and stretching can help alleviate minor aches and pains. Using timer apps to remind you to stretch or pillows can ease shoulder pain and support better posture. 

The Turn A Cushion by Thanko is made with gamers in mind. Shaped like the letter A, it fits snuggly around your body and has a smartphone arm attached to enhance the gaming experience. It's available on the official Thanko online store for ¥6,980.
