Anyone Ever Asked Why "Normal"?

Anyone Ever Asked Why "Normal"?

Happy Hump Day 🍑

 

At some point…
we all just fell in line with rectangles.

 

Rectangular beds.
Rectangular pillows.
Rectangular couches.
Rectangular lives.

 

And nobody ever stopped to ask:
why?

 

Why is comfort supposed to be flat?
Why do we accept stiff edges for bodies that are soft, curved, and human?

 

Somewhere along the way, we decided this was “normal.”
Convenient. Efficient. Boxed.

 

But your body didn’t evolve on a rectangle.
It evolved with curves. Support. Give.

 

That’s why The Buttress Pillow exists.
Not to be different just for fun —
but to question something that never really made sense in the first place.

 

A pillow shaped the way comfort actually feels.
Ergonomic. Supportive. Endorphin-producing.
Unapologetically not a rectangle.

 

So this Hump Day, here’s a gentle reminder:
You’re allowed to question the defaults.
You’re allowed to choose better comfort.
You’re allowed to sleep on a butt.

 

Happy Hump Day 🍑

P.S. Once you stop sleeping on rectangles… it’s hard to go back.
