Barnslig Cushion from Ikea

Those insidious back-to-school colds are already making their rounds, and our first instinct is to bundle our little ones up in every blanket in the house. Ikea seems to understand this, hence the Barnslig cushion, with special little foot-size pockets for special little feet.

Made of machine-washable polyester fleece, these cushions are beyond just comfy: they may, in fact, have entered that rarefied territory known to people in the kids' design business as "comfy-wumfiness".
