pillow

Soft sleep support

A pillow is a soft cushion for supporting the head during sleep, typically filled with feathers, foam, or synthetic fibers.

Pillows also serve decorative purposes on sofas and beds.

To pillow something is to rest it as if on a pillow: She pillowed her head on her arms.

A pillow fight is a playful battle using pillows as weapons.
