It works with heat-resistant glass, metal or ceramic cups that are seven centimeters or smaller in diameter and keeps your drink warm while you work. It’s especially useful if your home or office runs cold, or if you’re the kind of person (hello, busy mums) who never gets to finish their tea while it’s still hot.

USB Warm Folding Cushion

Great for cold apartments, late-night work sessions or anyone prone to chilly lower backs.
