pillow

A pillow is a soft cushion that supports your head, neck, or body when you rest or sleep. We usually think of it as something on a bed, but it can also make a sofa, chair, or reading corner feel more comfortable. Some are made for sleeping, while others are mostly decorative.

You might lean against one while watching TV, fluff one to make it softer, or use a special one for travel or back support. People also use the phrase "pillow talk" for quiet, personal conversation in bed. A good one can make rest feel much better.

A pillow is a soft cushion used to support the head, neck, back, or other parts of the body during sleep or rest. Most often, you find one on a bed, where it helps make sleeping more comfortable. However, the word is also used for cushions on sofas, chairs, and benches, especially when they are meant to add comfort or support.

There are many kinds of pillows. Bed pillows are used for sleeping, travel pillows help support the neck on trips, and body pillows can support the whole body. Some are made for comfort, and others are mainly decorative, such as the small cushions placed on a couch. They can be filled with feathers, down, foam, polyester, or other soft materials.

In everyday life, people talk about fluffing a pillow, changing a pillowcase, or replacing an old pillow that no longer feels comfortable. The phrase "pillow talk" also comes from this word and means quiet, personal conversation shared in bed. Whether it is used for sleep, support, or simple comfort, a pillow is a common object closely connected with rest and relaxation.
