Things you didn't know you needed but can no longer live without: the Futon Dryer/Heater (布団乾燥機 - futonkansōki)!

It's been COLD here in the Bay Area, close to freezing for the last few weeks. Usually I like getting into a cool bed after a hot bath, but the unseasonable/unreasonable cold had me pull out this nifty device that works like an electric fan or hair dryer if you will.
