This cartoon bed ticks a lot of boxes for parents and their kids alike: it's cute, it's cuddly, it's easy to clean and it's versatile. Anyone who's watched Despicable Me and fallen in love with it will not be able to help but adore this wonderfully amicable mattress.
Handmade by William Rion of New Zealand, this Minion bed has been made to represent the loyal and lovable servants of the movie's protagonist, Gru. The yellow body is rendered in vivid fabric, stitched up to navy blue material to make up the character's lower half. Details such as eyes, goggles, hair and smiling faces are sewn into the polyester cover of the cartoon bed, and separate legs and arms are added outside, with the capacity to hug the sitter. Stretched over a cotton sleeping pad, this Universal-Pictures-themed mattress can be used as a couch against the wall, or as a flat place to nap.
