Our Story
It all started during the pandemic lockdown. As a longtime gamer, I was used to marathon sessions—but the real challenge wasn’t in the game. It was the aching shoulders, stiff neck, and constant discomfort from sitting for hours. One day, I grabbed my wife’s nursing pillow, just to see if it might help. It was soft and flexible, and for a moment, it made a difference.
But it still wasn’t quite right.
Nothing out there truly supported the body in the way that people with seated hobbies—like gaming, knitting, or crocheting—really needed. So I called up my longtime friend and fellow gamer, Hilal, and shared the idea. Together, we started designing a pillow that would actually work. That’s how Valari was born.
