Pillows only became a popular household item during the Industrial Revolution.
As mentioned above, only the wealthy and the elite used pillows back in ancient times. During the Middle Ages in England, only women in labor used pillows. These cushions were rarely used by men, as they were perceived as a sign of weakness.

Pillows only gained popularity in Europe and the United States during the Industrial Revolution, when they were mass produced in large textile factories. This allowed them to be cheaper. Most households started using pillows not only for their beds, but also for decoration.

The first pillows were hard.
The earliest known use of pillows is in Ancient Mesopotamia, which dates back to 7000 B.C.E. Unlike our pillows today, these ancient pillows were hard. They were made of stone. Pillows back then were used only by the wealthy. The more stone pillows you possessed, the higher your rank in society.

In a similar fashion, wealthy ancient Egyptians used stone pillars to elevate their heads and prevent insects from crawling into their ears and noses. In ancient China, people believed that soft pillows sucked the energy out of their bodies while sleeping so they made elaborately designed pillows from stone, wood, and ceramic.
