Anyone who lived through the ’80s will remember the amusingly named husband pillow, a cushion that peaked in that decade and whose protruding arms provide support for reading (and working) in bed or lounging on the floor. The New York-based textile designer Christin Ripley’s Klismos pillow, an updated version of the backrest in an of-the-moment marbled print, is perhaps the perfect gift in a year when many of us are spending more time at home. For comfort while vertical, though, I recommend another reimagined classic, Sleeper’s shearling slippers. Slim, square-toed and available in colors including rose pink, bright orange and lemon yellow, they’re more fashionable than their L.L. Bean or Ugg counterparts, but just as warm and fuzzy.
