Just because you are sleeping doesn’t mean you don’t need a touch of whimsy. Enter Snooze City Designs, launched in 2007 by Derek Mosher and Mikey Azria (yup, Max’s son). Their pillowcases are a little bit punk, a little bit mod, and have more than a little bit of attitude. Among the designs are lips, guns, skulls, and mudflap girls. The pillowcases come in pairs, and often have complimentary designs. “Bird on a Wire” has a wire stretched diagonally across the two cases, with a bird perched on just one case. “Aviators” features a pair of sunglasses split directly down the center – one half per pillowcase. The cases are affordable – around $25 per set – and made of a poly/cotton blend. The good: they are inexpensive and easy to care fore. The bad: they are not particularly soft.

Also from Snooze City comes David & Goliath, an off-shoot line of pillowcases that have just as much attitude, but a little more cuteness. My favorite is, of course, the utensils in love, with the phrase “Spooning leads to forking.” Because, of course, forking leads to legions of little sporks. David & Goliath’s pillowcases are 100% cotton jersey – it is like sleeping on your favorite T-shirt.
