I'm always annoyed when I'm laying on my bed, using my laptop or reading a book and the pillows slip and my head hits the wall.

I've never really liked pillows, they're an incomplete solution to a simple problem.

The problem? Walls are hard. They aren't fun to rest your head against. The not-so-obvious but oh-so-halfbaked solution: wall softener.

It doesn't matter how its done, what matters is that by some chemical, organism, or process, your bog standard wood wall is softened a little to make it more comfortable for your head without the bulge of pillows or the hassle of cutting a hole in the wall to install some kind of comfort invention.

Walls have to be hard to support the house, but not all the way through, a small section could be softened and the structure would still be strong enough.

Padded Headboard http://farm1.static...7611_c421c65a15.jpg
A little larger than most, but it sounds like that's what you need. [DrCurry, Mar 29 2008]

       How would you get your head past the headboard in order to rest it on the softened wall?

       Try pounding the wall with a meat tenderizer then soak it with hot water, that ought to soften it up.

       I don't have a headboard. And it could work as headboard softener as well.

Spacecoyote, Mar 29 2008
  

       attach a pillow to the wall with tacks.   

       funnily enough, I bought a new higher headboard this week for this very reason - well, actually because the wall was doing my hair no favours and my hair was doing the paint no favours. I was going to post a beanbag headboard for comfort sake...

       There's a padded-room comment in there somewhere.

       They don't make padded headboards in your country? I sense a sales opportunity!   

       Now, "your bog standard wood wall" - that would be, um, Thailand?

DrCurry, Mar 29 2008
  

       I too was wondering where wooden walls are bog standard.
