9 ways to upgrade your summer relaxation with Comfort-U

9 ways to enjoy summer downtime

A sun lounger, hammock, lawn, sofa or bed—wherever you like to slow down and unwind, there’s a simple way to make your relaxation even better: with our Comfort-U body pillow, designed to support your body while you rest.

Few things compare to sunny days, warm air, blue skies and the feeling of summer ahead. It’s the season for slowing down, letting everyday routines fade away, and enjoying long mornings, ice cream breaks and warm summer nights.

Remember to make time for rest

Relaxing sounds simple—but many of us quickly fill our free time with home projects, gardening, activities and social plans. While all of that can be enjoyable, at Nordic Sleep by Fossflakes we believe rest deserves its own place too.

Fortunately, we’ve created a pillow that makes relaxation even more comfortable—and helps you get more out of those quiet moments, whether you’re resting under your favourite tree or relaxing indoors on the sofa.

You may already know Comfort-U as the body pillow designed to support your sleeping position and help reduce muscle tension. But this large U-shaped pillow is also perfect for enhancing your summer relaxation—supporting both body and mind as you unwind.

Here are some of our favourite ways to relax with Comfort-U:

1. Create your own lounge chair

You don’t even need a chair to relax comfortably with Comfort-U. Fold the two “legs” inward to create soft armrests—and suddenly you have a supportive and comfortable seat.

Perfect for the beach, the garden or the floor in front of the TV.

2. Support pillow and book rest in one

Sit back in a deep chair and use Comfort-U as back support while folding one side across your lap. It creates the perfect place to rest your book or magazine while enjoying a quiet moment—and perhaps a cup of coffee.

3. Extra comfort on the lawn

There’s something special about lying close to nature—but grass isn’t always the most comfortable surface.

With Comfort-U, place your head in the curve of the pillow and rest the legs of the pillow beneath your knees. This helps your lower back relax more comfortably while you enjoy the outdoors.

4. Support for both back and legs

Place Comfort-U at the base of your favourite tree with the curve facing outward. Sit inside the shape of the pillow and lean back while the curve supports the back of your knees.

A simple way to fully relax and enjoy a quiet moment outside.

5. Hug Comfort-U and sleep comfortably

Many of us sleep better when we have something to hug—whether it’s a partner, an extra pillow or a duvet.

Comfort-U is the perfect sleep companion. Lie on your side with your head resting in the curve, place one leg over the pillow and wrap your arms around it. A wonderfully supportive and comfortable sleeping position.

6. Extra support during feeding time

If you’re enjoying summer with a newborn, you already know how important good support can be during feeding time.

Comfort-U can also be used as a nursing support pillow—while giving you additional lower-back support at the same time. Sit with Comfort-U positioned around your body so both you and your baby are comfortably supported during quiet bonding moments.

7. The perfect streaming companion

Relaxation doesn’t always mean closing your eyes—sometimes it means getting lost in your favourite series.

If you often watch on your laptop, you probably know how easily your posture becomes uncomfortable. Place Comfort-U across your lap with the sides supporting your back and lower back. Rest your laptop on the pillow—and press play.

8. A reader’s best companion

Does summer mean finally catching up on your reading list?

Comfort-U makes it easier to stay comfortable wherever you choose to read—on a sun lounger, sofa, bed, lawn or floor. Rest your neck in the curve and let the pillow support your arms while you settle into your book.

9. A pillow for play and imagination

For children, Comfort-U quickly becomes part of summer adventures too. Its unique shape invites creative play—from building castles to creating secret reading corners.

And if the pillow gets a little messy along the way, there’s no need to worry. Comfort-U can be washed at 60°C and dried in the sun or tumble dryer.
