However, a group of people (perhaps aliens?) have been using beds in entirely different ways. Unbeknownst to us here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepajamacompany.com\/\">The Pajama Company<\/a>, &#8220;bed races&#8221; have been going on since the 1950&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>In bed races, 4 or 5 people push a bed on wheels, while one individual sits atop the (usually ridiculously decorated)\u00a0bed. In the celebrated Great Grove Bed Race, this push occurs over a distance of 1\/8 mile. Eventually, the judges narrow down the competitors to 8 finalists who race to the finish. Bed races are typically judged based on theme, decor, and speed.<\/p>\n<p>True to bed form, every participant in the bed race dons a classy set of pajamas, depending on the theme of their individual bed. Pirate pajamas, Hawaiian pajamas, and princess pajamas all make appearances at the bed races.<\/p>\n<p>For aerodynamic purposes, we love these footie pants.<\/p>\n<p>But for style, you have to go with the biking set.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re totally transportation themed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unbeknownst to us here at The Pajama Company, &#8220;bed races&#8221; have been going on since the 1950&#8217;s.
