Leatherback Sea Turtle Shaped Pillow | Endangered Deep Diver Plush

Meet the home decor that is massive, ancient, and softer than you expect: the Leatherback Sea Turtle Shaped Pillow from Soon To Be Mythical. This isn't just a cushion; it's a huggable tribute to the heavyweight champion of the turtle world. Shaped like the Dermochelys coriacea, this pillow captures the distinct ridges and inky blue-black color of the Leatherback without the need for a jellyfish diet. It’s soft enough to squeeze when you realize they survived the dinosaurs but might not survive us, majestic enough to anchor your living room, and shaped perfectly for diving deep into your pillows.

Important: Due to shipping logistics (and the Leatherback's trans-oceanic migrations), this product is available in the US only.

💚 Why It’s Tragically Perfect

• Soft Shell Accuracy: Unlike other sea turtles with hard bony shells, Leatherbacks have a flexible, leathery skin. This pillow is arguably the most biologically accurate plush because it is actually soft.

• Jellyfish Hunter: Their main diet is jellyfish. Unfortunately, floating plastic bags look exactly like jellyfish. This pillow is a plastic-free way to honor them.

• Gallows Decor: A conversation starter that pivots from "Cool turtle!" to "Actually, it's a Leatherback, and they are the only surviving member of their prehistoric family, but plastic ingestion is wiping them out" instantly.

📉 Endangered Stats

Let’s talk about the Deep Diver:

• Vulnerable: While global populations vary, Pacific populations are Critically Endangered and crashing fast.

• The Deepest: They can dive over 4,000 feet deep—deeper than any other turtle—holding their breath for over an hour.

• Ancient Lineage: They are the last living member of the family Dermochelyidae. They are basically living dinosaurs.

• Conservation Support: A portion of every pillow purchase goes to nonprofits working to reduce ocean plastic and protect nesting beaches.

🖤 Perfect For

• Deep-sea enthusiasts and free divers.

• People trying to go zero-waste (reminder to skip the bag).

• Anyone who appreciates a "soft tough guy."

• US-based fans of weird, wonderful, and vulnerable wildlife.

Hug it like an ancient relic. Because if the Leatherback Sea Turtle disappears, the ocean loses its oldest traveler. Let’s keep the waters clear and help Postpone the Myth.
