pillow fight

Sleepover cushion combat

A pillow fight is a playful battle in which participants hit each other with pillows, typically associated with children's sleepovers or depicted in movies as spontaneous bedroom horseplay.

The soft weapons make it rowdy fun without real injury: The kids had a pillow fight before bed.
