The Cooloo8 Lap Pillow
I've honestly never heard of a gaming pillow nor did I ever think I would need one until I bought my Steam Deck OLED. When I first got my Steam Deck I would just sit in awkward positions trying to get comfortable while playing not because it was super heavy but just trying to get my arms comfortable for extended gaming sessions. It was actually my girlfriend who first brought the Cooloo8 Lap Pillow to my attention cause she would watch me shift around a lot trying to get comfortable. Then once I got it I realized that it was pretty comfortable and very good at supporting your arms. If you want to read more about my review on *The Steam Deck OLED* Click Here!
Cooloo8 Lap Pillow
I did end up buying two different sizes of the Cooloo8 Lap Pillow. I ended up buying the large one and the small one to see which one I would like more. When you first get the Cooloo8 Lap Pillow it comes all wrapped up inside a bag so first things first you gotta release it from the bag and then leave it alone for 24 hours so it can finish its off-gassing period as well as finish expanding properly. Once that is done and over with you should be good to go and ready to have a great experience doing whatever hobby you want to do with the Cooloo8 Lap Pillow.
The Experience
When I first used them I noticed how soft yet firm they were so I figured it would work great as support for my arms as I was using my Steam Deck and I was not mistaken. they both come with a fabric liner cover that gives it a nice texture feel, and is not too rough or silky with just enough grip. The cover is removable just in case you make a wee mess and need to clean it real fast either by handwashing or machine washing which makes the maintenance very easy.
The pockets on the ether side are a great touch that way you can sneak your snack stash, controllers, magazine, or whatever else you can fit in the pockets that you need to be able to reach at a moment's notice. The leg room that it gives you on the large one is perfect for me and keeps me from getting too hot. The smaller one of course is a little tighter around the legs for me at least and I feel like the armrests are a bit small, but it's perfect for my girlfriend who uses it with her laptop. She says that it feels very comfortable to her and that it makes typing a lot easier because of the armrest. While using either one of them, I never once felt like it was getting too warm while using the Cooloo8 Lap Pillow. I love the way the armrest is structured on the bigger one because doesn't have too much give at all which is a great thing, this means that my arms aren't getting sucked into the pillow and giving it great support!
Versatile
The Cooloo8 Lap Pillow can be used for many different situations so you don't need to buy a Steam Deck or another handheld to use this pillow. You can use the Lap Pillow for many things from reading a book to using your laptop. If you are a knitter or anything else that you need support for while relaxing on your sofa this could be the answer. Don't forget about the pockets to hold your extra tools or accessories while you're doing your hobbies on the Lap Pillow.
The Cons
It comes in handy for many situations but there are some issues that come along with the cooloo8 Lap Pillow that I have come across. One of the issues I have is with the larger one which is that it is a bit high so when it's used with a laptop you are probably not going to be able to watch TV, also the larger one is a bit hard to get out of so that could be an issue for some. The issue with the smaller one is that I don't feel like there is a lot of support, especially in the armrest but then again I have large forearms and could be great for someone with smaller forearms. the other big issue I had with it is that the bottom came with some extra pillow that's attached and it really made my legs as well as my girlfriend's legs feel tight and that I was pushing up on the lap pillow, so I ended up taking the memory foam mats out of it so would give my legs a little more room.
Final Thoughts
The Cooloo8 Lap Pillow is a product I never thought I would need but it ended up being a great product. Since I've started using the larger one my arms don't go numb because of the weird positions that I put myself in. The smaller one is the one my girlfriend has been using and she seems to really like it. The Lap Pillow is also very comfortable and never gets too hot even though the smaller one is a little tight on the legs. Yes, just like anything there are a couple of issues but all in all it comes in clutch when I have some free time and want to play on my Steam Deck. I have found that the larger one is definitely the right one for me but if you are a smaller person you may want to look at the smaller one. If you're looking for something you can sit on the couch and use to keep you comfortable while working, gaming, or just enjoying your hobby you should give the Cooloo8 Lap Pillow a go!
