The book traces this fascinating progression, starting with ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China, and moving through the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Industrial Revolution, before arriving at the modern era of mass-produced pillows and sleep technology. It explores how pillow design and materials have been influenced by factors ranging from cultural norms to the introduction of synthetic materials like memory foam.
By drawing upon diverse sources, including archaeological findings, historical texts, and sleep studies, The Pillow History offers a comprehensive yet accessible look at how this seemingly simple object has shaped our comfort and health.
