If our ancestors, leading a subsistence economy, designed their bedding only from the gifts of nature, then in the modern world everything is much wider. From what only do not make pillows: and from natural fabrics and a feather, and from synthetics with artificial fillers, and from combinations of the first and the second.

Such pillows are useful to everyone, but first of all people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system and pregnant women.
