While it makes for great jokes, when you think about it, if you're a "civilians should have armor" guy (I am), the idea of something pillow sized that you can quickly grab and protect yourself with in a home invasion or whatever is really not a bad idea. Other than they might not (or they might) be the most comfortable pillow. 

Also, if you get the armored pillow then you absolutely need the:

Do you plan to duct-tape the pillows to your back so you can take .338 Lapua rounds?

That's the first question I ask when pillow shopping:  "Will it stop a bullet?"

Don't forget sewn on straps to carry it like a shield!

I like the idea even if it is only pistol rated.  I doubt I would want to actually sleep on it.  There might be other items that would make better disguised armor.

I actually have some level II armor in storage here from the old job. Just for kicks, I might pull out one of the inserts and stick it between a couple of memory foam pillows to see what that feels like.

Somewhere I have a backpack with a rifle rated coated steel plate.  I would rather find a way to carry that.  Maybe I could build some sort of frame to hold it.

Hey, he shouldn't be getting uppity. He's the first one the ATF will shoot when they break down the front door.
