Bryan Ku understands how fun pillow fights are done, so he decided to create cushions in the form of weapons just to make things a little more realistic.

Each cushion in Bryan Ku’s miniature series features a few familiar tools you need to be ready in a last man standing free-for-all. For close range combat, fighters can choose a battle ax, a sword, nun chucks and even a lightsaber for the sci-fi enthusiasts out there. In terms of long distance weapons, Ku is bringing the standard, but classic ninja stars and a grenade to hurl at oncoming opponents.

The next time there’s going to be a pillow fight involved, these cushions will definitely do the trick.
