A movable flap section is attached to one side of the pillow opening, and the flap section is movable between a first closed position for covering the pillow opening and a second open position for uncovering the pillow opening. A zipper is disposed around the periphery of the pillow opening to open and close the flap section. The plush toy figure is attached to at least one side of the pillow opening, and the plush toy figure is also attached to the flap section. The plush toy figure is movable between a first closed position wherein the plush toy figure is housed within the hollow interior of the plush pillow and is covered by the flap section being in the first closed position, and a second open position wherein the plush toy figure extends out through the pillow opening to be disposed outside of the plush pillow, wherein the flap section is in the second open position. In addition, the plush pillow may be inserted into the back of the plush toy figure, after the plush toy figure has been removed from the plush pillow.
