There are baby pillows and adult pillows. Just as tiny feet were considered the mark of a lady, so that women bound their feet to achieve this, a flat back-of-the-head was also considered beautiful. So mothers put their babies on these pillows to flatten the head and give their child this beautiful advantage in life.
In adults, it was believed the especially soft pillows robbed the body of vitality and energy. To remedy this, pillows were fashioned from hard materials, including leather, wood, and ceramics.

They were originally used mainly by the wealthy.2.) Some say that earliest were formed and wrapped around with leaves or straw.3.) The difficulty of sophisticated dyes and sewing techniques led to the development of pillows as an art form, with highly decorated pillows becoming prized commodities first in China and Persia and later in Medieval Europe.4.) I heard that in Tudor England, pillows became mostly used and believed that women giving birth should use one.This is all the pillow information I've researched.
