pillows

Soft bed cushions

Pillows are soft cushions for supporting the head during sleep or rest, typically filled with down, foam, or synthetic fibers.

Beyond bedding, pillows serve as decorative items on sofas or as support for other body parts: She propped a pillow under her knees.

To pillow is to rest one's head on something soft: He pillowed his head on her lap.
