In Japan, it seems like there’s a pillow for every occasion, whether you’re feeling happily drunk at home, utterly exhausted from consecutive days of late-night studying, or even if you’re an animal lover looking to turn your room into a personal aquarium. Now on days when you’re feeling particularly crabby, — or when you just want the companionship of a cuddly crustacean — you can wrap your arms around giant crab pillows that are super soft but creepily realistic at the same time.

These friendly crabs are 65 cm×90 cm (25.5 inches×35 inches) in size, big enough to cover your lap and keep you comfy and warm. In contrast to similar crab pillows you might find in other places, these cushions are designed to look extra realistic. Even the underside of the crabs’ bellies look just like their real life counterparts.

Though prices for these crabby pillows vary depending on the seller, you can get one (or a whole cast of them!) for around 2,500 yen (US$23) to 5,000 yen (US$45). They can be found on sites like Yahoo! and Amazon Japan.
