It is always recommended not to leave your phones charging in places where they could overheat, they heat up a lot anyway, but placing them between pillows, between beds, sheets, substantially increases the risk of explosion. It is also not recommended, from many points of view, to sleep with phones under your head, in your pocket, etc., and regardless of the situation, you should place them at least one meter from your body.
This tragedy should be a very strong alarm signal for many people, and maybe there will be people who will understand from here that they have to be careful how they charge their phones.
