I backed the project and I kind of agree that the armholes are kind of unnecessary because that's not the most ergonomic way to use it, at least for me. However that doesn't preclude using it the way I plan on using it, which is arms crossed on the table in front of me outside the ostrich pillow with my head in the pillow resting on top of my crossed arms. That's perfectly ergonomic and a position I've slept in multiple times.

This project is particularly interesting to me because I'm not physically able to sleep reclining or on my back because I snore so loudly and with such vigor that my uvula swells up to the point that I can partially swallow it into my throat. I welcome anything that makes sleeping face down, but still breathe. I also see this useful on those cold winter nights where you want to keep you head warm as well when in bed.

This is one of those project that either makes total sense to you or doesn't. For me, it'll be a godsend. There are tons of times I've wanted something like this, looking like a goofball be damned.

The pillow reduces not only light but sound too, while allowing you to breathe. This is already better than most other sleep aids for sleeping in public such as eye masks.
