Feather Pillows

Here at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse HQ we have been super excited all week looking forward to this weekend, as tomorrow is International Pillow Fight Day!

Massive pillow fights in cities around the world will be taking place and you can get involved and have fun too in the UK, at Trafalgar Square in London.

Get those pillows at the ready and swing and whack into as many people as you can, making as many feathers fly into the air as possible.

Take the family down and have a fun day out learning more about the urban playground movement; soar your pillows and teddies into the air and witness a giant urban pillow fight; you will never see anything like it ever.

But whatever you do play by the rules; wait for the signal, take soft pillows and keep violence or bad behaviour to a minimal.

If you wear glasses make sure you take them off beforehand and whatever you do. Don’t whack your pillow at a person with a camera; you don’t want to break anything accidently.

Kick off the public square in style with loud air horns, chimes and bells and cloud the air with hundreds of fluffy feathers.

However, the ideal pillow fight leaves no traces that it ever occurred so make sure you help to clean up afterwards!

Make sure you visit the Duvet and Pillow Warehouse autumn sale which see hundreds of bedding products slashed in price.

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.

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."

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.

Chinese Stone Pillow

Do you like hard pillows or soft pillows? This might be a random question to ask but it may just depend on where you grew up!

Homemade pillows were used in ancient Egypt, medieval Europe and early America. In the mid 19th century, the Industrial Revolution and the evolving textile industry changed the way pillows were produced.

From homemade and hand-embroidered, they became machine-made. Bed pillows were stuffed with goose down or feathers to make them more cosy and comfortable.

However, in China pillows were very different. First they were smooth stones and later, by the late sixth century, they were rectangular blocks made of wood, jade, bronze, procelain or other ceramics. Most had a curved top surface for the head.

Porcelain pillows were made from the 10th to the 14th century, then were gradually replaced by pillows of other materials or even European-style stuffed pillows. Porcelain and other hard pillows were decorated with animals, plants, people and mountains and even geometric designs. Some had colourful glazes. Many were shaped like animals or small children.

Many collectors today do not realise that the decorated rectangles were pillows or headrests. They are sometimes called 'opium pillows' because opium users liked to lie on their sides using hard pillows. They claimed after smoking opium for a while, even a hard pillow felt 'like a cloud.'

Nowadays it is hard to find the very old, hard pillows, but 19th-and 20th century replicas are available. The pillow shaped like a child is so popular as a decorative item that it is still being made.
