A plush pillow toy in any number of shapes comprised of two fabric covered or molded cushioned members or a single fabric covered or molded folding cushioned member, that when opened or unfolded, form a play area roughly double the size of the original pillow. The interior is revealed when the two cushioned members or single folded member of the original pillow are opened, unfolded, or otherwise separated, forming a playing surface or terrain for small toys, figures, or any number of accessories. A flap or other hinge apparatus may be used to hold the two cushioned members of the pillow structure together.

A zipper, hook and loop, or other means of fastening is used to hold the two members or single folding member of the pillow in the closed pillow configuration. The fastening apparatus may be comprised of a single point, multiple points, or a complete perimeter fastening apparatus. When unfastened, the two members or single folding member, open to reveal the interior plush play area or terrain. The opened play environment may be roughly double the size of the original pillow, and may include small plush landscape details, buildings, hills, or other environmental or terrain attributes as part of the play area.
