We've all heard stories about animals crawling into comfortable places they shouldn't and falling asleep, such as cats snuggled up under duvets or dogs on your pillows, but who would of thought sometimes people enjoy entertaining themselves by snuggling up in strange places?!

But this isn't just any normal case of a person hiding in a bin or cardboard box to suprise someone... Duvet and Pillow recently received this photograph of a girl called Laura who managed to climb into one of our topper bags!

Good on her for achieving this, but we have to say, it doesn't look too comfortable in there, and we are sure she should actually be curled up on the topper she would of recieved in the bag instead of the actual bag itself - maybe she got a little confused? But we doubt that, due to the comfort of our goose down toppers!

Anyway, here is the photo of Laura in the topper bag for you all to enjoy! We hope she isn't still in there!

At the duvet and pillow warehouse we are always searching the internet for funny stories surrounding our industry, usually not to much success, as who would of thought that duvets would ever be the subject matter of a funny joke?

But recently we came across this video of comedian Rhod Gilbert discussing the difficulties of buying bedding and duvets.... he obviously hasn't visited the duvet and pillow warehouse website where he could of found everything he needs to know about the confusing 'Tog Rating System', what time of year to use which 'Tog' and whether feather duvets are prickly or not?!

He just wants 'a nice, soft, comfortable duvet' - well, in future he should visit the duvet and pillow warehouse too set all of his confusion about 'duck or goose down', 'feather duvets' or '12.5 tog'.

Quote of the video - "I don't care whether its Duck or Goose, i am not going to eat it!"

Watch and enjoy! (you may want to skip to 4 minutes 20 seconds... this is where the duvet fun begins!)

Our modern day world is best known for being surrounded by technology, we live and breathe it thoughout our days, even to the point where we now don't even realise!

We send e-mails instead of letters, we talk over 'skype' instead of in person, we don't buy CD's we listen to 'spotify' online, everything is changing, and becoming easier and fast paced.... so much so that we are definately going to need a good nights sleep every night to completely 'switch off' from our high paced days at the office! All sleep experts recommend  to get a good nights sleep you must turn off all technology and completely relax, and to some techno freaks that is enough to give them nightmares!

But, if you cant cope to be without your technology fix even at night time, there are ways...

The recent hype in the technology market is the new iphone, and a company have now introduced iphone bedding, so if the thought of going to bed without your beloved iphone sends shivers down your spine, check out this fantastic iphone theme bedding - so you can sleep soundly knowing your 'iphone' is wrapped around you!

Some people like to go over the top with their bedroom styles and designs and it can often be a little overbearing! Well we have been on the lookout for the biggest and smallest bedding accessories the world has ever seen and have posted them all on here for you to have a look at!

World's Smallest Teddy Bear

Some of us just can't get to sleep at night without our teddy bear by our side and so German artist Bettina Kaminski created "Mini the Pooh". At just 5 mm tall, it is the world's smallest Teddy Bear! Very very cute but you couldn't really snuggle up to it at night.

Where there is small there is big and we found the world's biggest Teddy Bear! Well, its either one of the two above so you can make your own mind up! You would definitely feel protected if you had this teddy bear in this room.
