Large Pillow People

There were lots of characters produced. The large ones measured around 20 inches (excluding legs), and had fabric loops on their backs. The small ones measured around 5 inches (shown on their own page).

They were sold in cellophane wrappers with a cardboard top. Inside they had a large tag/leaflet folded in half (or more) with a description of the character sold and a story inside. The later additions had the Pillow People logo on their bums (late 1987 to 1988) which the earlier characters did not.

There were six characters produced at first, at least for of which were produced in mini size too.

Big Footsteps	Mr Sandman

Pillow Fighter	Punky Pillow

Rock-A-Bye Baby	Sweet Dreams

"These noises in the night want to be your friend."

Three characters with a bump-in-the-night theme were added, which Big Footsteps was then grouped. It is interesting to note that Squeaky Door is the only character I have found produced originally without the bum logo, then later on with it. I have also found two of these three in mini size.

Squeaky Door	Window Rattler

Thunderclap

These two are college themed and were introduced around 1986. I don't think they were as popular as some of the other characters, making them harder to find today.

Jill College	Joe College

Stardust was a later edition in 1986. This one is hard to find.

Stardust

This one is based on the Blue Bonnet Sue character and apparently limited edition. She has a bum logo and dates from around 1987.

Large Pillow Pets

There were four large animals added early on, plus a dragon slightly later. It is interesting to note that before they were released four of these five had different names on the promotional tag packaging of currently issued characters. I've also found one of these three at mini size.

Drowsy Dog	Little Bo Peep

Little Sleepurr	Hugga Bear

This dinosaur character, called Dina Snooze, could be folded like a pillow or opened out long. Unlike all the characters above, this one has the "A Pillow People Original" logo on it's back.
