The New "Pillow Talk"

Two beating hearts... Just a world apart

Scottish designer Joanna Montgomery is a 23-year-old who attended Dundee University and finished with a First Class BSC in digital interaction design. She started her own company, Little Riot, to develop Pillow Talk, a product first brought to our attention on Sexcerpts.

How it works:

Pillow Talk helps you connect with your long-distance lover via a heartbeat through a pillow, whether you're in separate households, cities or countries. According to the Pillow Talk website:

Each person has a ring sensor they wear to bed at night, and a flat fabric panel which slots inside their pillowcase. The ring wirelessly communicates with the other person's pillow; when one person goes to bed, their lover's pillow begins to glow softly to indicate their presence. Placing your head on the pillow allows you to hear the real-time heartbeat of your loved one.

The result is an intimate interaction between two lovers, regardless of the distance between them.

Pillow Talk is not available yet, but is being further developed by Montgomery. Looks like long-distance love just got a little closer.

TELL US: When it is out and available for purchase, will you buy it?

What readers are saying:

Kathleen M.: Kinda cool, but the glow needs to go. Light makes it harder to get a good night's sleep. Maybe they could integrate a switch that turns off the glow when you put your head on it.

Jennie M.: I had something very similar to this for our kids...mothers heartbeat...really was nice, helped them adjust to normal sounds, etc. after birth.

John B.: So much for the cool side of the pillow. :/

Shaunie L.: What a great idea for military families/couples!!!! I love it!!!!

Irene C.: This is genious! I would totally order this for my boyfriend. He's working oversees right now and it sucks being away from him. Especially at night.

Marjorie D.: My husband is gone for weeks, months at a time, this is an amazing way to feel close to him. Hurry!!!

Crystal H.: I think this is a great idea. My boyfriend is in the air force stationed in Wyoming and I live in new jersey. He comes home to visit when he can but I miss him when he's away. I'd love to be able to be with him even when he isn't here.

hi hubby's been away one month and i cannot sleep!!!!! please hurry with the pillow but maybe work the glow out, cant sleep with light or make the glow very faint like in a corner. if possible! and please hurry these sleepless nights are getting to me

I would get this immediately!! I am in Florida, my boyfriend is in California and we only get to see each other once a year. This would help ease those lonely nights so much!!! Please release it soon!!

PLEASE let me know when and were I can get these pillows.

I love it, my girlfriend goes off to college this coming fall... I would love for this to come out before she leaves! Keep going I support it all the way!

I can not WAIT to buy this. I'm going to buy it as soon as it pops out of the oven. I love my boyfriend so much, but I can't be with him all the time and this product would give me heaps of pleasure. Distance never stopped me from loving him, and I these pillows will only make things easier. LET ME BUY ONE!

I want one!

I want these!

This is an amazing idea! I'm in the Air Force, and live in Alaska, while my girlfriend currently lives in Alabama. This is such a wonderful idea! As long as the cost is reasonable, there's no reason not to get one! Such an amazing idea, and I have no doubt that other military couples would love this! The sooner it can be manufactured, the better! Let's see it, guys!

I was actually searching the Internet to buy these pillows and realized they are not on sale! It is such a wonderful idea and I would love a pillow for my boyfriend and myself! I live in California and he lives in Missouri I believe that anything that helps us feel closer is perfect!

TOTALLY would buy it! I'm leaving for China in a few months :( hope it comes out and not too expensive

I would most definitly buy this for me and my boyfriend. College has come in the way and living together during the summer and then having to stay away for so many nights for 10months is hard. PLEASE COME OUT WITH THIS SOON!!!

I would love to buy this for my best friend and I. A man who i truly love. I cant always be there to comfort him. I feel this would help us rebuild our relationship, I feel this product will show him how much i truly care about him, and that i long to be by his side.

I'd totally buy. Seems kinda cute.

I would so buy this for my girlfriend. I'm always trying to find a way to make us closer and this would be a great help.

For all the people who are going to buy one for your loved ones in the military, I want to inform you that you are on different time zones. Thus, you will not be hearing any heart beats or glow because each one of you will be sleeping on it at different times of the day.

Someone answer! I really wanna get this for my boyfriend by valentines day(2 weeks)!!! It's an amazing ideas. Kudos to the inventor:)

I would buy two sets. One for me and one for my friend. Both of our boyfriends are leaving to go into the army. Her's has already left and is going to be gone two years and mine leaves in July. I think this would keep us strong because we rely on them for us to feel safe while we sleep and hearing their heart beat makes us fall asleep. When this comes out I am buying it!!!

My husband and I need this. He is in the army.This is perfect.I haven't been able to sleep well with him gone. Please make this. :)
