The stuffing used in pillows was often a fiber known as Kapok, which comes from the pods of a Kapok tree. Sometimes flock was used, which is a grade of either wool or cotton that is too poor to make into thread or yarn, and is used in bulk. You might also hear of linsey woolsey which was originally a mixture of linen flax and wool, and often used for stuffing.
