Pillows are one of my passions. I’ve loved pillows for a while now. I enjoy going to stores just to browse and test them out. Last time I went to a furniture store I was looking all around at the pillows, squishing and hugging them whenever I saw them.

One day my grandma bought and then sent me a pillow with a sparkly cover. The back was soft and the front was color-changing sequins. I have always wanted one like that. When you slide your hand across the pillow, the sequin colors change.

For my birthday I received three light-up pillows, a giant dog pillow and two giant unicorn plushy pillows. For Christmas I got squishy pillows in the shape of a fox and a cow.

I like to sleep with a lot of pillows on my bed. I have at least nine of them on my bed at one time. The rest of my pillows fill bins and more bins. Even before you get to my room, there is a gigantic soft beanbag chair that I love. Pillows will probably be one of my favorite things for a long time. It also explains why I am a late sleeper.
