Single or lonely men sometimes miss having the odd snuggle up in bed with a partner, and we all know about pillows being hugged in replacement of a person, but a pillow which looks and feels like the lap of a female?!

Men think women have issues…?! Who would honestly use a ‘lap pillow’?! Someone with very little self pride, or on the other hand, a great sense of humour maybe?!

But now, single and lonely men can now use a lap pillow when they are missing a female companion, yes you did hear me right, i said a ‘lap pillow’.

These pillows consist of skin coloured thighs which are on show due to a rather short skirt…apparantly this pillow is perfect for men who like to feel comforted when they are napping, reading a book or just chilling watching the TV.

And as surprising as it may be, it is actually a very popular seller! When the lap pillow was first launched sales reached over 3000 in a matter of a couple of weeks.

When speaking about the product the managing director said “we created this item to help tired people relax, we thought our main customers would be men in their 20s, but even men in their 60s are buying it”

And great care and attention to detail was used when the lap pillow was designed, elements such as the softness of the thighs and wrinkles on the lap of the skirt – this is to make it feel and look as real as possible – which is a bit weird i know!

At the stores that stock them, the lap pillows gather crowds where people poke and touch the foam legs, seriously though, whatever next?!

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!

Worlds Biggest Bedding Pillow

World's Largest Pillow

This pillow was manufactured in Shanghai, China on 29th May 2009 and set the new record for the largest cushion in the world. The bedding pillow measures in at 10.08m (33ft 8in x 33ft 8 in) and was made by Shanghai Konglong Textile Ornaments Co., Ltd.

World’s Smallest Teddy Bear

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.

World's Biggest Teddy BearMr Beans' teddy bear!

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.

The second picture is an 11 ft teddy bear which is thought to be the world’s largest and was recently sold at an auction in Solihull last September.

World’s Largest Bed

American basket ball player Shaquille O'Neal's bed

This huge bed measures in at 4.572m*9.144m (15 x 30) and is situated at the basket ball player’s home in Orlando.

BiggestBed to Travel the World

This bed travelled the world and was set up in London, Shanghai, Paris and New York for a cross continental bed jump lasting 16 hours. The 30 double mattresses and huge super sized duvet was used to create the bed for people to have a quick bounce on their way to work.

If you are looking for bedroom accessories including pillows, mattresses, duvets etc visit Duvet and Pillow Warehouse today for more information and products. We don’t sell beds and pillows as big as these but we don’t need too as we pack our products with super soft fillings to make your sleep a good one.

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.

An American Girl Guides group are giving their hearts away next weekend.

As part of their “stress for less” badge project, the girls have spent six weeks cutting, stuffing and sewing heart-shaped pillows. But instead of brightening up living room sofas, the pillows will land in the arms of heart surgery patients at Scott and White Hospital.

Rachael Clift, one of three co-leaders, said the project was born when the girls came up with ways to be less stressed.

“One of them was to give to others because if you can focus on other people, sometimes that’s helpful instead of concentrating on what you’re stressed about,” she said.

Each troop member gave individual attention to a pillow, picking different fabrics and making them different in little ways. When the pillows were done, however, each girl added the same touch to their individual pillows. Letters, one pinned to each stuffed felt heart, carry words of encouragement for those who going through a grueling recovery process.

We love heart-felt stories like this, especially when they involve pillows too! You go girls.

We all love a little social get-together making use of that big sofa, and now you can take ’social’ to an all new level!

If you can’t get enough of Facebook, Twitter and Myspace, check out these uber-geek pillows to add some squishy cotton-filled, web-themed comfort to your living space.

Other social networks represented in cushion format are Reddit and FriendFeed.

As you can probably tell, we love pillows and duvets. In fact anything to do with bedding, we know about or search the world to find what is going on.

And because we are not selfish, we take all of our information and write it in this daily blog for you to read and enjoy!

From informative articles to funny stories and top tips, there is something for everyone and you should consider visiting us daily to see what fabulous treats we have in store.

As we have just launched our brand new website, we thought we would start off this week with a Funky Pillows article to give you a bit of a giggle and to keep you coming back to our blog for more.

Luscious Lips!

This funky pillow stands out a treat and would look fabulous in a girls bedroom or apartment.

 

 

 

 

 

Lego Pillow

The pillow is fab and funky and stands out a mile above the rest. Can’t imagine it being the most comfortable pillow to lie on, can you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Synthesizer Pillow

If you can’t work a real synthesizer just buy a cushioned one and pretend you know what you are talking about!

 

 

 

 

 

Nintendo Pillows

It’s really rubbish when you don’t have a games console but all your friends have and you have not a penny in the bank to buy one of your own.

To make it feel like you have a little bit of something you may possibly want to consider these Nintendo consoles pillows.

They look cool, but will possibly get a little boring after a day or two and you will probably crave the real thing once again.

 

 

 

 

If you are interested in getting your own pillows whether they are feather or memory foam, visit the brand new Duvet and Pillow Warehouse website today at www.duvetandpillowwarehouse.co.uk.

As you probably can tell, we love duvets and pillows. Some say we are a little bit obsessed and need to get a life, but we feel this is our life and we are really reluctant to change!

You may think, ‘Oh my days, I wouldn’t want to be friends with this lot, they sound really boring;… but we think you should be our best friend as we give you the best advice and products to make sure you have the perfect night sleep each and every night.

Sometimes we write funny articles, other times we write informative articles, really anything that takes our fancy, but we always have our customers in mind and want to make you laugh out loud, feel fully informed and in the know about the world of duvets, pillows and bedding.

Well as it is Friday, and the weekend is here, we want you to have a bit of a laugh about the world of duvets and pillows and have found some rather strange bedding concoctions that we have found on the web.

Coffin Bed

Sleeping in a coffin is some people’s idea of fun, but it definitely isn’t ours. However someone mental person out there has made a coffin bed which costs as little as $4,000. Bargain!

What is even more disturbing is that ‘locks and latches’ are available at an added price. Lovely!

 

Funky Eye Mask

All you will need is a piece of ’self-adhesive’ black felt, a hot glue gun, some satin, and a selection of decorations including sequins and glittery puff paint, throw it all together and you have your own Funky Eye Mask! Gosh, we feel like we are on Blue Peter, except without the ‘Here’s one we made earlier’ because our first attempt was rubbish!

Floating Bed

The other night I was dreaming about a $1.5 million dollar magnetic floating bed for my bedroom, woke up the next day and found the exact one I was looking for the web!

As If!

The floating bed is tethered down with four cables to prevent your bed from floating out and taking a spin, with the bottom of the mattress is covered with enough magnets to keep almost 2000 pounds floating in the air.

To be honest the concept is pretty cool but we like to keep our feet on the ground and keep to what we know best! Yes you can call us boring but do you have $1.5 million in your back pocket! We think not!

However, if you do, we think it would be money well spent if you visit www.duvetandpillowwarehouse.co.uk to buy all of your bedding products. As the winter season approaches you need to keep super warm during the chilly season and the best way to do that is with Duvet and Pillow Warehouse who have some fabulous winter discounts on offer on all their duvets and pillows.

Believe it or not but some people struggle to get to sleep at night and toss and turn throughout the night to try and get a decent night’s sleep.

Well some lovely people from around the world want to make sure that you get a decent night’s sleep each night and have designed so creative inventions to get you saying zzzzzzzzz!

Chillow Pillow

The Chillow Pillow is designed to keep the pillow you sleep on cool throughout the night.

The liquid gel simply keeps at a temperature so that you are neither too hot or cold and have the perfect night’s sleep, and all you have to do is fill it with water.

 

 

 

 

Japanese Dream Machine

The Japanese Dream Machine allows you to manipulate what you dream about each night. For example if you fancy a night of fairy tales and faraway castles, you can change the scent, the music and images the machine gives out so you hopefully drift off into a beautiful sleep with your handsome prince.

Snore Backpack

Yes this creative tool has been designed to stop you snoring while you sleep. Simply attach the backpack and lie in bed on a block of foam and try and sleep. Great concept, not so sure about the design!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comfy soft duvets with 60 per cent off

Duvet and Pillow Warehouse have a wide selection of pillows and duvets for you to choose from to keep you super warm and comfy this winter.

Their bedding collections are beautifully designed to a high quality to ensure you feel relaxed and able to drift off into a comfortable sleep.

And with 60 per cent off many of their bedding products, you will fall straight to sleep knowing you have high quality products and extremely affordable prices.

Sometimes we come across some fabulous designs and creative ideas which we just have to show you as we don’t want you to miss out on all the fun we are having, (even if you think we are a bit mad!)

We have, however, located some rather funky pillow designs that really stand out from the crowd.

Computer Pillow

If you aren’t a massive fan of computers and technology but still want to feel part of the modern crowd, then this decorative pillow fits nicely into your home as a cushioned accessory which looks like it does a lot, but in fact does nothing at all!

 

 

 

 

 

Mr and Mrs Pillow

We love this pillow set as we believe that what the pillows say are true and this one is speaking a whole load of sense!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Log Pillows

If you really sense a taste for the woods and natural life then these log pillows will be perfect for you and your home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although we don’t sell any of these log pillows or computer pillows, we do have some fabulous feather pillows and memory foam pillows that we are sure will take your fancy.
