Secretlab Drops a New Monster‑Hunter‑Inspired Pillow, and the PC Release of Monster Hunter Rise Makes It All the More Exciting
Why You’ll Want a Pillow for Your Back (and a little monster for your desk)
Just when you thought your gaming setup couldn’t get any cooler, Secretlab has decided to add a pretty quirky lumbar pillow to its lineup. The new Palico Edition isn’t just a throw‑away cushion—it’s a full‑blown memory‑foam extravaganza made to hug your lower back, and it sports the beloved Airou mascot, the sneaky little cat that has been charming hunters for generations.
What’s Inside the Pillow, Anyway?
- Premium memory foam: Firm enough to keep your posture straight but gentle enough not to feel like a tortoise trap.
- Soft velour cover: Gives it that plush, “I’d cuddle with you” vibe while keeping it tough for long sessions.
- Dimensions: 29 cm × 29 cm—just the right size to fit under your seat without turning your chair into a spaceship.
- Price tag: $79—seems like a sweet deal if you’re already paying love money for a good chair.
It’s currently available for pre‑order, with restocks rolled out on March 30. If you can’t wait, you’ll need to be ready to bank on your cash quickly—like, before the next raid.
How the Pillow Hops Into the Monster Hunter Universe
Players who are familiar with the Monster Hunter series know that Airou is the spiritual feline behind the scenes—visible in every hunt, from the first to the newest entry. The cat’s a staple in spin‑offs as well, especially the PSP hidden gem Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village.
“Airou is the adorable hero who keeps everyone on their toes,” one excited fan said. “And we’ve officially friend‑boxed him into the Lumbar Pillow!” Not only does this add a touch of charm, it also softens the ferocious vibes of the Rathalos chair—great if you want a cool desk that’s still a bit “attack” ready.
Make It Yours!
With Monster Hunter Rise now streaming on Steam for PC (after its 2023 Switch debut), adding a Secretlab Palico Edition pillow is the perfect way to merge comfort with fandom. It’s a surefire way to keep you back‑sore free while you’re geared up to take down your next big boss.
Final Take‑away
Don’t let your precious chair feel like a “battle ground.” Plug your back into the Palico Edition pillow, enjoy the comfort of premium foam, and let Airou keep you company—both literally and figuratively. It’s fun, it’s comfy, and it’s got that little bit of hero humor that makes playing Monster Hunter feel like you’re chasing a dragon with a personal cat assistant.
Happy hunting—and happy back‑supporting!
