Pillow Pet Review & Giveaway



By now, I am sure most everyone knows what a Pillow Pet is. If you have kids, you probably even catch yourself singing the catchy tune now and then ;o)- It’s a Pillow, It’s a Pet, It’s a Pillow Pet.


If not, let me fill you in. Pillow pets are adorable pillows that fold together with Velcro and can also be used for play. You undo the little strap for a full size pillow and fold it back up to make a cuddly animal. They are great quality and I can tell you from experience, they keep kids entertained for hours. You can choose from many different very soft animals.

Christmas is coming and this would make the perfect gift! If you remember last Christmas, it was a mad dash to get one of these and they ended up being backordered. Now is the perfect time to think about buying Pillow Pets.

My 3-year old son loves frogs so we decided to get him the frog Pillow Pet. It is so stinkin cute. When I first brought it home I had the box barely opened and had set it on the couch. I was thinking about possibly giving him this as a Christmas present. Not 5 minutes later my husband is telling me to come in the living room. Kasen runs up holding his Pillow Pet (which he opened all on his own). "Mommy, Mommy, Look- It's my Pillow Pet!!!" He was so excited there was no way I could take it away from him. For the past week his frog has went EVERYWHERE with him. He refuses to sleep without it. We plan on taking our Pillow Pets on our drive to Disneyland next month. They are perfect for traveling.

As a mother, I love the fact that Pillow Pets can be washed. They say surface washable but the site has instructions for how to wash if when necessary. You simply put it in a white pillow case, tie the open edge, wash on cold/gentle and do not dry.

Before you buy- make sure you're getting a real Pillow Pet. Sadly, because of the high demand many people are selling "knock-offs". To make sure you are purchasing an authentic Pillow Pet here are some tips-

• Most importantly, be sure to check that the sewn-in label on the back leg of the animal says “My Pillow Pets®”, “My Pillow Pets ™” or “Pillow Pets™”.
• Open the Pet up to its pillow form and confirm that the “My Pillow Pets®”, "My Pillow Pets™” or “Pillow Pets™” plush folding stuffed animal sewn-in label is on the lower left corner as shown on the company’s website.
• No other brand name should appear on an authentic “My Pillow Pets®” or “Pillow Pets™” plush folding stuffed animal.
• Ordering online at www.GetPillowPets.com guarantees that the consumer will receive an authentic product. 
• If a consumer has any questions about My Pillow Pets® plush folding stuffed animals, they should call our toll-free customer service line at 1-800-318-7926.
