The Beatles Pillow
In 1964, the British textile industry fully embraced Beatlemania.
Under the supervision of NEMS Enterprises, licensing rights were granted for numerous home furnishings and fashion items: curtains, quilts, pillowcases, sheets, and pillows.
The “Blue Suits Pillow” was sold in department stores such as Sears, Woolworth, and J.C. Penney, often as part of a Beatles Bedding Ensemble bedroom set.
