We've all seen how, when you pillow-fight, the pillows all get shredded, right? Who wants that to happen? 'Well, then, use stuffed toys'. But they usually have hard eyes, etc., that can *hurt* if they hit ya wrong (besides, who wants to see a <voice="babyish-puckered">cute widdoo teddy</voice> used as
a weapon?).
Therefore, I give you fighting pillows. These suckers are made of heavy-duty canvas, stitched together with heavy-gauge nylon, and filled with your choice of feathers or polyester. Square for better throwing accuracy, or rectangular for a satisfying *Whap!*
Print patterns of angry faces (I envisagion a Thwomp! face from Super Mario) optional.

You've invented strong pillows. "Just like pillows, only stronger." |
|
| |
Well, yeah. I guess the thing is that they're specifically for pillowfights. |
|
| |
Actually, these'd probably sell if well marketed. Not sure why anyone would vote against the idea. |
|
| |
Maybe if you had made the material studded with rhinestones, spikes, explosive studs, razor blades or something. You know, edgier ;-) |
|
| |
Or a voice box buried in the pillows that, upon impact, cried out things like "Take THAT!" or "Biff!" |
|
| |
Have various models:
Pillow shield; with two small, tight straps for ones arms to go through.
Claymore Pillow: longer than other pillows - generally used with two hands.
Pillow Axe: shaped like a 'T'. |
|
| |
A long narrow pillow with (heavier) down at the ends and foam filled throughout the rest. Swing / wrap around opponents legs and pull their feet out from beneath them. Proceed to pummel with pillow of choice. |
|
| |
All the pillow fights I've had involved swinging pillows like a big soft club rather than throwing them. |
|
| |
A good sized feather pillow makes a pretty good pillow fight weapon as the weight will pack to one end leaving a good grippable bit of fabric on the other. Works really well for the [Shz] leg pull technique. |
|
| |
I think that a "heavy duty canvas" pillow could inflict some pretty good damage in the form of facial abrasions. |
|
| |
I don’t feel that you need a heavier pillow. I have had many pillow fights most on the trampoline, very fun (and nothing gets broke). But I have never had a pillow bust. |
|
| |
Snooker balls in a sock is better. "I'm the daddy now!" |
|
| |
mfy: you should try a sock full of nickles (or whatever small, dense coin you have in... Scotland, is it?). It's a bit more versatile. Try swinging it around to get some momentum and let your wrist do the work. |
|
| |
If you are after a painful/damaging thwapping object, instead of coins use nails or tacs. |

Got a pint there. Maybe it could be heavy but smooth (tight weave). Just so it won't rip open. |
|

|
| |
I'm not. Just a good pillowfighting pillow. |
|
| |
I like those different shapes and tactics, btw. |
|
| |
[po] They wouldn't last a minute with my Ninja nail socks. |
|
| |
but you'd get a damn good soaking [silver] |
|
| |
[po] Thanks! You just gave me an idea.
Naked mudd pillow wrestling, mudd and feathers everywhere. Winner is the first person to look like Big Bird. |
|
| |
Gonna hate myself for saying this, but would the boners please state their reasons for boning this? |
|
| |
Maybe lingering fears left over from childhood pillow fights? |
