Pillow fighting became part of flash mob culture with pillow fight flash mobs popping up in cities around the world.
It is also one of the match types among women wrestlers called Divas in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Most often, this type of match is booked as a Lingerie Pillow Fight, in which the women "compete" in lingerie and little or no actual wrestling takes place.
In January 2007, Reuters reported that a Pillow Fight League was operating in bars in Toronto. Pre-selected female "fighters" with stage personalities are paid small amounts to stage regular, unscripted fights. The rules call for "no lewd behavior, and moves such as leg drops or submission holds are allowed as long as a pillow is used".
Students at Columbia University have incorporated a Spring Pillow Fight into the spring semester version of their bi-annual primal scream tradition. Students run into the center of campus screaming and pillow fighting on midnight of the Sunday of finals week as a way to relieve stress.
The Guinness World Record for the largest pillow fight is held by the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan, which was set on September 28, 2008. The event was organized by Rob Bliss who also attempted to break the world record for largest Zombie walk and largest sidewalk chalk event. All these events took place in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

'pillow fight in Japan'
A Makura-Nage (Japanese: 枕投げ, まくらなげ) is a game from Japan in which children throw pillows at each other. A typical occasion to play it is after the futons are prepared (especially after the official lights-off time) in summer camp.
While a pillow fight mainly takes the form of beating each other with pillows, Japanese Makura-Nage is a game in which players mainly throw pillows to each other. The word "makura" means "pillow", "nage" means "throwing".
There were no rules for Makura-Nage, but today some Japanese ryokan hold Makura-Nage Games (まくら投げ大会) for advertisement.
In many manga and anime, a Makura-Nage scene creates a nostalgic atmosphere when describing children.
