VHS Pillowcases and Duvets: Be Kind, Relax and Rewind

Posted on by

While VHS tapes clearly won the format war against Betamax, I was always more of a Beta fan because I’ve always been an outsider-slash-tech snob. Regardless of the kind of videotape you chose back in the day, your blank tapes almost certainly came in a boldly designed box with colorful line art graphics. Now, you can enjoy the classic VHS tape look every time you lie down to go to bed.

Clothing and accessory brand MoonLambo makes a variety of fun items decked out to look like classic VHS art, including a VHS tape pillowcase, and two different VHS-inspired duvet covers: one in a white/yellow/orange/red color scheme, and another in a black/gold/RGB combo. All three are labeled as “T-120” which means that they can record up to 2 hours of low-quality video in SP mode, 4 hours of mediocre video in LP mode, and 6 hours of “shot on a potato” quality video in EP mode. And if you start to see squiggly lines while you drift off to sleep, try adjusting the tracking control.

And if you have a particularly memorable dream of Heather Locklear coming out of the swimming pool that you don’t want to forget, be sure to punch out the write-protect tab to prevent someone in the house from overwriting your precious fantasies with a bad episode of Silver Spoons.

Star Trek Starfleet Uniform Bedding: Sleep, the Final Frontier

Posted on by

When you do something bad on a Starfleet ship, you’re likely to end up confined to your quarters. Frankly, that doesn’t sound so terrible to me, as it’s an opportunity to catch up on your rest. And if you’re going to sleep on a Starfleet starship, it should wear an official Starfleet uniform, don’t ya think?’

So beam me up, then tuck me under this duvet cover that look like an enormous Starfleet uniform. Imagine if Andre the Giant was a Starfleet officer, and that’s what we’re talking about here. The bedding is made by Character World, and come in both Discovery and The Next Generation variants, each distinguished by a different Starfleet badge, along with other details. The set includes a reversible duvet cover and a single pillow case with lots of starfleet logos on the reverse side.

You can find the Discovery duvet set over on Amazon, while you might need to head to eBay to find the TNG bedding. Sadly, the duvet and pillow set appears to come only in a twin bed size. It’s too bad our crew quarters don’t double as holodecks, because I’d just ask the ship’s computer to simulate me a California King set, along with the comfiest memory foam mattress it can come up with.
