Pillow

A pillow is a large cushion support for the head, usually used while sleeping in a bed, or for the body as used on a couch or chair. There are also throw pillows (also called toss pillows), which are pillows that are purely decorative and not designed for support or comfort. There also exist "novelty pillows", (which can be thrown or body pillows), which are often designed as licensed products. Pillows(cushions) are said to have special healing powers in the ancient Incan Empire. Such pillows include the popular "Fish Pillow" - a large body pillow that is made to look like a trout. Ralli quilt pillows are famous pillows which are used in Pakistan and India. They are colorfully embroidered and quilted by the women artisans.

History of pillow

Pillows were originally used mainly by the wealthy, and have been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs. The difficulty of sophisticated dyes and sewing techniques lead to the development of pillows as an art form, with highly decorated pillows becoming prized commodities first in China and later in Medieval Europe. The Industrial Revolution saw the mass production of decorated textiles and decorated pillows. Traditional Chinese pillows are often hard boxes made from stone, wood, metal, or porcelain instead of stuffed fabric.
