The pillow: a soft, overlooked therapist that never complains. We’ve all dampened its sheets with our tears, and harmed it unintentionally by throwing it against the wall. The pillow is our bed partner when we go to sleep, and our cushion when we wake up. It is the friend we talk to when we our lonely and the lover we embrace when we are miserable. The pillow is an everlasting source of comfort. A house may have beds, but beds can be flat and uninviting without the presence of pillows. Who knew such a simple object could have such a profound effect on people?
