Description
The pillow people stuffed doll is made of cloth. It has two very small hands made of material that is sewn together. Two dangling legs with back shiny material for the shoes and white lace bobby socks. She is 18" long x 14" wide. She has blond hair, blonde eyebrows, blue eyes, big round pink circular checks and has a light pink bow on the front of her. She also has lace on the front of her. She is actually shaped like a pillow- squarer at the bottow. No detachable button eyes or anything. Her face is actually more of an imprint on the cloth. She also has pig tails with light pink bows in them. I purchased her in 1985 at a store in Lansing, Michigan, (Meijers.) There were several others designed like her, but I bought only one. They all had their own unique face, etc.

I still have my pillow person, Joe College. He is kinda of dirty, torn, and everything else. But I still love him like when I was two!!!
I just found my pillow people...I have Punky and one with lightening bolts on him..I can't remember his name...They sitll look good for having them for 20+ years....
I got my pillow person "Sweet Dreams" 20+ years ago. My brother got "Pillow Fighter" for his birthday the same year. They have both lasted really well & now my 7 year old daughter loves them, especially for taking in the car on long journeys!
I am 24 yrs old and I still have my Punky Pillow, my brother who is also 24 still has his Big Footsteps. My sister who is 25 on the other hand no longer has hers, she actually only had if for a short time due to the fact that she had Pillow Fight and our older brothers thought it would be a good idea to actually fight with it. Needless to say they destroyed it.
I had a pillow person when I was a child. I don't know if anyone knows the name...I am trying to find a picture of it. Mine had lightening bolts as ears and was crying (uhhh...thanks ma).
If anyone knows how to get a pic, I would appreciate it.
The pillow with the lightening bolts is called Thunderclap.I have been looking for him everywhere!
I've also been looking for Thunderclap for my sister. She had him as a child & loved the silly thing! I've found the sheets on ebay, but have been looking for Thunderclap for over a year now.
I still have mine....i don't know where exactly I got it from, but I have had it since I was itty bitty...mine is a dragon, but I don't know his original name or ne*thing.
I have had "Sweet Dreams" since the day I was born, which was in Dec of 1986. I am now 21 years old and I still have her. As a kid I took her everywhere and people in my family still remember that about me. I just orderd another one on ebay because someday if I have a daughter I want to pass it on to her.
My girlfriend introduced me to Mr. huggie (aka Mr. sandman) She loves him more than anything. I've just started looking on Ebay for him. Greatest, strangest pillow ever.
My husband just came upon an original issue pillow people in the stockroom at the store he works at and bought it today for me. It's just so happens to be the "sweet Dreams" one I had as a child that I lost when my family moved.
My husband bought me a little sweet dreams doll for Christmas 1985, Then for Valentines day 1986 he gave me the large sweet dreams, in June of that same year, we found another little one, and added one more having purchased it on ebay. I have also purchased a big and small one for my niece and another small one for my great niece. I am 46 years old and still to this day sleep with my " sweet dreams" pillow doll.
My sister and I just found our Pillow People that our grandma made for us sometime in the 80's. My sister has Punky Pillow and I have the Sweet Dreams. We loved them!
I had a pillow person still got him but he is old tattered and see through! i would love to get a new one if someone know's where i can find one please let me know at charger_dude06@yahoo.com i had a punky pillow!!!! i want to get one for my future son!!!!!
I had the girl one and I remember the story that came with the pillow people...that if you slept all night hugging the doll on your left (i think) side you could travel to pillow people land. I tried all the time to travel there!!
I had maybe a knock off version of the pillow people, it was a green dragon with purple "scales" my aunt gave me when I was 4 and had my tonsils out. I'm desperately look for a pillow person for my 1yr old son!
I always thought those pillow people were so cute because I use to see DJ from the "FULL HOUSE" show have one. Just recently I went into a store called, "Anna's Linen's" and found 6 different 'pillow people' that they carried! I bought myself the "ROCK-A-BYE" one! I love it! despite the crazy electric yellow locks she has! :)
I'm still looking for a thunderclap-two years now! Can someone PLEASE sell one? LOL!
My brother had the yellow one with the black eye. I don't remember his name. We always just called him Pillow Fighter. I so remember these!
This was a gift we recieved for no reason when I was a child my mother and aunt had been shopping all day and they put them in our beds while we were sleeping. Well my little brother woke up to a strange person in his bunk and had to mentally and physically attack when everyone went to see what the commotion was about we found him wrestling mario into submission!
I have had a Pillow Person every year of my life, I had two different mr. sandmans and i currently own Rock-a-bye. Im really sad that i cant find these anymore, when rock-a-bye's gone i dont know what i'll do, i cant sleep with out them and im 19!
EBAY i just saw one . type in PILLOW PERSON no caps. and its there
I had the Sandman. I remember he had a bag of sand and a nightcap but everyone elses seems to be removed :( but i don't even know what happend to mine!
my brother told my mom to throw my mr. sandman away; it has been over 10 years now and i still miss it.
i still have my pillow people all thouth tattered and see through. it's a pink cocker spaniel (i think) with long ears little feet and a curly tail on the back, had it since i was born. now i'm desperatley trying to get a dragon one.
I think that i had a pillow people, it was a girl one.. and it had two sides, one was happy and the other was sad. i can't find it anywhere:(
Yay! Im so glad to know there are people other than me that still have pillow people. I still sleep with mine, I have "Baby", shes a little worn but i still love her!
Go to "thepillowpeople.com" ALSO...Anna's Linens had them recently
I currently have 3 pillow people. I was trying to find out the value of them when I came across this site. I have Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Blue Bonnet Sue. I don't think I paid much for them and they are a bit dirty but they are so cute I may keep them forever.
I currently have an original 1985 "Mr. Sandman" pillow people on auction at ebay.com. Near mint condition! garageLESSsale
I had a brown bear one, I don't know if it was a Pillow People or a knock off. If anyone has one, or knows where I can get one, email me halo_n_wingz@yahoo.com.
I have a pink cat one, she's wearing a pink satin skirt and she's winking. Love her. I need that dragon!
I loved my pillow person.I got him in 1986 and slept with him every night until I was 12.Lol. My mom had put him away to save it for me, but there was a fire that destroyed everything including my little stuffed friend. :( He was a cat, I think he was originally grey and had a pink satin belt or something around him.I dont know what the official name was, but I called him Christopher. God I wish I could find another.
What kind of a sicko would make a child's doll with a black eye. The creator of this product must have had a very pitiful childhood.
I would like to purchase a Sweet Dreams Pillow Person. Can you help me locate one to do so?
I bought sweet dreams for my daughter when she was 2. I again bought sweet dreams off e-bay 2 years ago to replace the first one, and my daughter was 21. Now she is 23 and her son has taken over her people pillow, if anyone can tell me where to get another sweet dreams pillow person I would appreciate it. I have been all over e-bay and no luck. You can reach me at im22crabby@ameritech.net, if you have any information. This would be a great birthday gift for her, she never stops talking about it. Thanks everyone.
Have never seen these before - but can't but laugh - This is where the idea for Sponge bob Square Pants came from!!! the yellow one in picture above could be be him!!!

Pillow People were fantastic friends! Growing up I had Mr. Sandman, Pillow Fighter, and Punky Pillow. I still keep Mr. Sandman on display in my office.
I found that pillow person on e-bay from Full House that i want. I was desperate for it. But now that's over!
I have a pink pillow person, in the shape of a heart. She HAD arms (cant remember what) and she wears black high heels with fishnets...she has long eyelashes and makeup on- big red lips :) I love this thing more than anything and its falling into shreds, i would love to find another one, or even jsut see a pic of what it looked like in its 'glory' day.

Hey wonder if anyone could help me... my sister was given a mickey mouse pillow person when she was born, but as the years have gone on its starting to get very tatty and worn. if anyone knows where i could find one i would really appriciate it if you could email me on charlie02@hotmial.co.uk thanks so much :)
OMG! I just saw a pillow person on ebay. It's under "pillow people". This one was a college girl. I don't know what it's name is though. It didn't say.
Hey! It looks like they're back! I just went to thepillowpeople.com and there's some info. These were always my favorite things for my kids...with all the hard and violent stuff going on these days, I'm happy to see them return. Oh, and on YouTube theres some old commercials and looks like some animation.
I just cleaned out a storage unit..and sadly they found a few mice in it.I had three of my pillow people in it and two of them had to go since my brother would only let me keep one..which I have to get cleaned now...it was a sad day...it would be great to be able to buy them again. My heart shaped one never left my bed until we had to move..I love the pillow people
