Strange Bedfellows

Jaya Loves Tekeko Pillows

If you like the man in your bed to be cuddly, environmentally conscious, and mute, have we got a guy for you.

Jaya Loves Tekeko, a new collection of pillows hand-printed with cuter-than-Pokémon characters.

Like bad boys? Eggboy is all cracked up — but mended with a Band-Aid. If you like ’em brainy, go for the mustard yellow Owlie. There’s also sensitive tear-shaped Raindrop and mischievous Hedgehog. Prefer the ladies? The demure Leafgirl wears a pretty pink dress.

The adorable pillows are earth friendly: The fabric is bamboo and organic cotton, the stuffing is hypoallergenic Kapok fiber (even lighter than down), and the paint is water based and PVC and phthalate free.

Also, a portion of the proceeds goes to Planting Peace, a local nonprofit dedicated to building shelters and clinics worldwide.

Aw, he’s a do-gooder.
