Dead arms no more – there’s now a pillow designed especially for spooning

We reckon this could save relationships.

Dead arms no more - there's now a pillow designed especially for spooning

There’s nothing like a good spooning session – but getting the position right is key.

Being the little spoon is pretty sweet whereas being the big spoon can feel like a raw deal.

The other person’s hair can get in your face and smother you, you don’t get someone behind you warming you and worst of all; the inevitable dead arm.

What to do?

Thankfully, something exists to keep the big spoon in your life happy.

You can now buy a pillow that promises to make the spooning experience a little more comfy for everyone involved.

The Coodle is a memory foam creation that allows the big spoon to comfortably slip their arm underneath the little spoon’s head.

Adorably, it was invented by a real-life American couple called Bob and Shirley.

The pair love a cuddle in front of the telly but always found that the big spoon would get a sore arm.

Bob decided to get creative and, using foam and plastic, created the very first Coodle.

The couple have since started their own business, selling the pillows to fellow spooning enthusiasts.

At $65, the Coodle definitely doesn’t come cheap and unfortunately, it’s only available in the US right now.

If you’re mad to get your hands on it you’d either have to use a Parcel Motel or potentially have a go at making your own like Bob and Shirley did.
