Our life is a longing process. Many generations transmitted the wisdom, their knowledge, skills and traditions to the next ones. Their experience is one of the most important things in the world. And it was brought to us by means of proverbs and sayings. Sometimes they seem to us ridiculous or out of date, but many of them mirror the folk wisdom we went away from.
I remember that my granny often told me about the true friends - “The best friend of a girl is her pillow.” May be it is so, but not all of pillows can be names with such serious word. So what does “the pillow” mean?
Wikipedia gives such definition “A pillow is a large cushion support for the head, usually used while sleeping in a bed, or for the body as used on a couch or chair”.
Also we can find the throw pillows (sometimes they are called toss pillows), which we needn’t in our everyday life because of their decorative purpose and they are not obligatory for our health comfort.
There are three main types of pillows for sale in any big store. They are bed pillows, decorative pillows and orthopedic pillows in accordance of their usage.
The size of a bed pillow depends on the size of the bed. The standard size measures out at 20 x 26 inches, the queen size measures out at 20 x 30 inches and the king size measures out at 20 x 36 inches.
For example, a standard pillow fits a single bed, while queen and king sized beds usually have larger pillows. But everything depends on your own taste – if you like big pillows nothing can prevent to use the king size pillow with twin bed.
There are several types of decorative pillows. They are throw (or toss) pillows, cushions and bolts, which are the special form of throw pillows.
A throw (or toss) pillows, are very small among decorative types of pillows. Usually they play the only decorative role lying upon armchairs, sofas or beds. I am afraid of very difficult sleeping on such pillows!
A cushion is a large pillow for comfortable sitting or kneeling upon, for example on a ground, or grass, making softer sitting on a firm chair or stool. Normally cushions are staffed with wool, feathers, polyester or even cotton or paper. Earlier they were used when praying.
Orthopedic pillows are the pillow with medical inclination, designed to prove the body position while lying or sitting. Its design helps to cure some orthopedic problems when giving the right position and support those parts of body, which are to have more attention from the medical point of view.
These pillows are traditionally made of foam and fiber, but today we can see the new type of inner stuffing - memory foam.
In general, the characteristics of those materials often similar, but they differ in the way of coming back (or not) to the previous form, when body pressure ends.
If even orthopedic pillows have the medical aim it doesn’t mean that they can be used only in hospitals or for unhealthy persons. No. If you care about your and your family health it would be quite normal to buy such pillows for everyday using.
They are able to help you not to get the neck and spine pains, for example. They can help to reduce such medical problems as sleep apnea, snoring or difficulty of breathing. There are many types of these pillows almost for every part of the body and you will have opportunity to choose your variant.
I think, that sleeping or sitting on orthopedic pillows really can bring the sweet dreams and relaxation from tiredness! And do you know that there is a neck pillow used by travelers?
You can find pillows of almost every forms, colors, themes and materials: round, triangle, square or rectangular; big or small; of Asia, Egypt, Europe and other themes; of silk, velvet, velour, cotton, chenille or leather. They are various in prices – cheap, inexpensive, expensive and very expensive. They are very and very different.
And that is the most pleasant – it is not a very complicated work to make contemporary decorative pillows by yourself.
Dare, and after all your pillow will be your best friend!
