Absolutely nothing.

However the draws under are full of everything that has ever dared try and find a place ontop.

Although occasionally the toddler leaves me little gifts on the top, like an ambulance, toast crust, sock etc

Hahaha I have the pillow spray stuff too and it's shite (and expensive!)
