Pillow fights are a girl thing. But regardless of if you’re a dude or dudette, if you’ve ever been in one and thought, “Damn, I could be a world champion doing this!”—well, guess what? That’s not a dream because Pillow Fighting Championship is a thing. I kid you not!
Founded in 2021 by Steve Williams, the Pillow Fighting Championship (PFC) turns childhood nostalgia into a combat sport, proving that pillows aren’t just for sleeping or passive-aggressively throwing at your roommate. The first official event took place in Florida on January 29, 2022, featuring 24 fighters, including actual mixed martial artists and boxers. Yes, people who throw real punches professionally are now swinging pillows for glory.
Unlike your average sleepover brawl, PFC uses specially designed pillows with durable handles and ripstop nylon, allowing for some serious damage—well, as much damage as a pillow can do. Each match is a 90-second burst of feathery fury, streamed live on pay-per-view for those who want to witness the most aggressive bedtime routine ever.
So, if you’ve got speed, strategy, and a knack for knocking people silly with a pillow, your championship moment may just be one swing away.
