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.

Ever heard of a flashmob event? It’s where people turn up in a public place and all suddenly start doing something funny at the same time, like singing, dancing… or having a pillow fight!

An estimated 400 pillow fighters joined in a melee of flying feathers in the centre of Plymouth on Saturday, organised through social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

University student Jessi Dimmock, 20, said: “Everyone was having a laugh, it was just great fun. It shows the power of social networking sites to organise something like this without advertising.

“I also think it’s like an art form, but mainly it’s about getting people together in a peaceful, fun way.”

An innovative Ministry of Justice (MoJ) scheme for purchasing mattresses and pillows for prisons has won two prestigious awards.

The department’s Zero Waste Mattress Project won the Guardian newspaper’s Public Service Award for Sustainability on Tuesday, a week after it took the procurement gong at the 2009 Civil Service Awards.

The project involves replacing old and worn mattresses and pillows, which are difficult and costly to dispose of, with new, higher specification ones, the overall cost of which includes disposal. The MoJ expects this to achieve annual savings of £1.2 million.

Since bedding for the 85,000 offenders in UK prisons has to be highly fire retardant, as well as containing no parts that could be used for self harm, suicide, concealment of contraband or harm to others, it could not simply be incinerated. The Prison Service was binning 40,000 used mattresses and pillows each year – the equivalent of 31 double-decker buses going to landfill.

It was dubbed the ‘World’s Largest Pillow Fight’ but in the end, it simply proved that pillows are a pride and joy and too good to be beaten into submission!

The attempt to enter the Guinness World Record for the largest Pillow Fight failed when punters decided to stay in bed with their pillows rather than expose them to a cold, drizzly morning in Penang.

Although the organisers had expected the participation of 4,500 people, only some 500 people turned up at the Penang Times Square at noon Saturday.

Organising chairman Tommy Ooi said the current record holder is a Children In Need event in Mineshead, Somerset in United Kingdom, where more than 3,700 people battled in a pillow fight last year.

Forget pillow fights, how’s this for the world’s largest pillow fright?!

This devil-red gnashing pillow derives from a character in Monster Hunter, named Furu Furu, and is the basis for what many believe to be the world’s scariest pillow due to owners waking in the night and being frightened to death.

The pillow is 105cm long and 28cm in diameter and its ‘mouth’ also functions as a storage pocket for your iPod, PSP, and any other sleepytime provisions – including body parts it happens to bite off in the night.

Here at the Duvet and Pillow Warehouse, we’re always happy to hear about interesting bedroom-related stories! But nobody could predict this crazy bit of news which derives from, you guessed it, America…

Sally Rebehn, an elderly lady, was confronted in her own bedroom by a grizzly bear which positioned itself between her and the exit door. The bear roared, reaching forwards on its hind legs in an aggressive manner as the lady screamed for help but to no avail. Trapped, frightened and not knowing what to do – the lady reached for a pillow and swung it at the bear, plunging it into the animal’s midriff and it immediately stepped back and dashed out of the room.

The bear then went into the kitchen and had a meal, feasting on ice cream, chili and what appeared to be the favourite; leftover barbecued chicken wings.

“The ice cream was too cold, the chili too spicy, but the … barbecue was just right,” said Rebehn.

We LOVE duvets and pillows – mainly because we know how much they contribute to a night of quality, dream-fuelled sleep. Ever tried nodding off with an uncomfortable pillow? It’s nigh-on impossible; hence the need for comfy face-friendly pillows! 

But they aren’t the be-all and end-all, according to a new survey. Scientists have found that retired people enjoy a drop in broken sleep, due to an end of work-related demands and stress. The study found that the odds of suffering disturbed sleep in the seven years after retirement were 26 per cent lower than in the decade before retiring.

Sleep disturbance among nearly 15,000 volunteers fell from 24.2 per cent in the last year before retirement to 17.8 per cent in the first year after retiring.

The post retirement improvement in sleep also was more pronounced in men in management level posts who reported high psychological job demands and people who worked nights, either part-time or permanently.

asleep1. Determine how you sleep at night and how you set up your pillows before heading into the land of nod. This will give you a good idea of what type of support your neck and back needs while you sleep.

2. If you sleep on your side you might want long feathered pillows to snuggle up to and one under your head that isn’t as fluffy to give you a little bit of support.

3. If you sleep on your stomach a flat pillow would suit you best to keep your back in alignment as well as offering just enough support for your neck.

4. If you sleep on your back you may like to snuggle up on a feathered pillow similar to a huge feather bed.

5. Search for fabulous discounts on the Internet. Duvet and Pillow Warehouse are offering up to 60 percent off some of their bedding pillows, including memory foam pillows and feathered pillows.

6. Do you vary your sleeping position? If you do, you may want to vary the types of pillow you have on your bed and choose which bedding pillows you use each and every night.

7. If you have recently had surgery or need extra support in bed, you many need a specific type of pillow that will conform to your body. The best pillow for this is a memory foam pillow which conforms to the shape of your neck and head giving you full support while you sleep.

8. The more pillows the merrier when it comes to pregnant woman. Women who are heavily pregnant need as much support as they can get when it comes to sleep and feathered pillows may be an option to consider.
