Travelodge launches “Cuddillow” – The UK’s First Cuddling Pillow for Lonely Guests |
You’ll have probably realised by now that I like Travelodge, due to their unbelievable prices, but even I had to do a double-take when I spotted this news item on their site:
Travelodge launches “Cuddillow” – The UK’s First Cuddling Pillow for Lonely Guests
Apparently there are many of us who feel lost and lonely when we are sleeping away from home without our partners, and the ‘Cuddillow’ is there to comfort us.
I have included the full text below for your amusement or delight, depending on how much you miss your own partner when sleeping away.
In response to customers who find it difficult to sleep on their own when travelling solo, Travelodge has created “Cuddillow” the UK’s first cuddling pillow.
A survey of 2000 solitary travellers by the UK hotel chain identified 57% of respondents felt lonely, sleeping without their partner when away from home. Sixteen per cent found it difficult to fall asleep and nine per cent of respondents felt scared sleeping on their own.
To help lone guests attain a good night sleep, Travelodge has created the “Cuddillow” a bespoke cuddling pillow which is two and half feet in length and has two arms for guests to snuggle into. The “Cuddillow” will be trialled in hotels in Newcastle, Durham, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham. It will be free of charge for guests to hire.
Wayne Munnelly, Travelodge Sleep Director said: “Our research identified staying away on your own can be lonely, stressful and it plays havoc with your sleep routine. In response to our findings we have developed the “Cuddillow” – It’s a substitute hug to help you to get a good night sleep“.
Why not try out one of these Travelodge Hotels which are trialling the ‘Cuddillow’. Just click on the link below to check room availability at Newcastle, Durham, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham Travelodges.
