Re-Issues :: Kidsview [1996]

"A lot to hug ... a lot to love!"

In 1996, Kidsview re-designed and re-issued four of the original six pillow people in both large and small sizes. Rock-a-Bye Baby lost the word "Baby" from her name, Mr Sandman's name changed to P.J. Sandman and his clothing colours were altered from red to blue. Pillow fighter was given a smiley face and his black eye was stuffed to make it stand out. The other three had stuffed satin cheeks and the all had stuffed satin noses (rather than printed). Although the write-up on the back states Rock-A-Bye took her security blanket "Woobie" wherever she went, she never actually came with one, and P.J. Sandman no longer had his bag of sand.

Snoozables :: Best Brands [2002]

In 2002, Best Brands re-designed (again) and re-issued the same four characters as above, calling them Pillow People "Snoozables". They were 18 inches high (excluding legs) and described as "plush pillows". Their faces, hands and feet were made from a fuzzy fabric, their bodies from cotton, and their facial features were embroidered. Pillow Fighter looks to have had satin shorts and gloves.

These are hard to find!

The story of the Pillow People and Snoozeville

"Long ago, the Pillow People took it upon themselves to ensure that children the world over would have pleasant dreams and a good night’s sleep. Their pillo-sophy is that as long as kids know that the Pillow People are there to protect them they never need to be afraid of the dark. It is on these principles that Snoozeville was founded.
In the sleepy town of Snoozeville is the Dreamfactory, where the Pillow People create the stuff that dreams are made of…literally! Under the supervision of P.J. Sandman, the Pillow People make the magic Dreamdust that protects us from Bad dreams, so we can have a good night’s sleep… Then, flying in his magic Four-Poster Bed, Mr. Sandman sprinkles the protective magic sand on children around the world!"

Pillow Pros :: Good Stuff / Toot Sweet Toys [2012]

These two characters were made by Good Stuff / Toot Sweet Toys in 2012 and measured about 14 inches in total. They were not marketed as Pillow People, but as they were based on two of the Sports Pillow People designs from 1987 I thought it best to add them to clear up any confusion.
