Sitting or Hugging? (Huggie Dougie)

Do you know you can live longer by hugging someone or something for just 20 seconds every day? Yes, hugging not only makes you feel happier but also relieves your stress and depression. However, Doug Fertig is now bringing you an exciting news that you can live longer by just sitting on a hugging chair!

Huggie Dougie is a chair which has a similar function and effect as hugging as it has a higher chair back coated with soft cushion. There is an air pressure pump in every chair back as it fills up with air when you activate the pumps, it will immediately surrounds you tightly just like hugging you in its warm embrace.

你有多久没有和你的爱人或父母拥抱了？每回夜深人静的时候，总会听见一颗脆弱的心在武装已久的躯壳里摇摇欲坠。这一刻，或许只需要一个拥抱，一分钟或者一辈子的温暖便能平伏一切不安的讯号。曾有研究显示一个人只要每天至少拥抱二十秒，便能活得更长久一些，正是因为拥抱能为大脑释放快乐的讯息和能量，同时还能缓解生活上堆积的压力和沮丧。

想要寻找一个专属于你的拥抱吗？坐在这张Huggie Douggie椅子上，你便能随时拥有一个属于你独一无二的拥抱。Doug Fertig为了让使用者也能感受相似拥抱的感觉，特意为椅背调高了比普通椅子高出几倍的高度，并采用半封闭式座位，以三面包围着坐在椅子里的人。椅背裹上了一层高弹性和伸缩性的厚软垫，当人坐了进去便会马上启动藏在椅子里的气压系统，使椅垫瞬间充满气并紧紧包裹着你。

Of course, you can deactivate the pumps anytime after you gained the contentment that you’ve needed, then the chair back will be deflated again and release all the gas out.

如果觉得Huggie Douggi的拥抱为你疲惫的心灵充满了能量之后，你还可以手动关闭气压系统，椅垫便会一点点消气直到变回原来的样子。
