Studying the history of pillows is not easy, since it embraces the vast history of tapestry, needlework and other textiles. As utilitarian objects, pillows have been made for centuries.

In England, medieval references to pillows are sometimes found in illuminated manuscripts where they are shown arranged on benches and settles.
