Thus, we can determine that it is a word that derives from Arabic, exactly from \"al-mukh\u00e1dda\", which can be translated as \"cheek\".<\/p>\n<p>The concept of <strong>pillow<\/strong> is used with reference to the object stuffed with fluffy materials that a person uses to <strong>support your head<\/strong> while lying in bed.  It is a kind of <strong>cushion<\/strong> or from <strong>mattress<\/strong> of reduced dimensions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/almohada.jpg\" alt=\"Pillow\" width=\"231\" height=\"166\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-38598\" align=\"right\"\/>For example: <em>\"When I go to bed to watch television, I usually use two pillows to be more comfortable\"<\/em>, <em>\"I have the habit of sleeping hugging the pillow\"<\/em>, <em>\"Feather pillows are my favorites\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, an individual sleeps on a <strong>bed<\/strong>, a structure made of wood or metal.  On this piece of furniture a <strong>mattress<\/strong>, which is an elastic and soft piece on which the subject lies down.  The pillow is located at one end of the mattress: in this way, the person places the head on the pillow, while the rest of the <strong>Body<\/strong> is located on the mattress.  To keep warm, you can cover yourself with sheets, blankets, or blankets.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that there are many different types of pillows that are classified according to criteria such as these:<br \/>-If we take into account the shape, we come across three fundamental classes: the traditional pillow, which is long and narrow;  the cervical, which has a concave shape;  and the cervical butterfly that, as its name suggests, has the shape of that flying animal.<br \/>-In the case that we start from what is the manufacturing material of what is its inner core, there are four main types: those of memory foam;  those of fiber;  those of latex;  and those that are stuffed with bird feathers.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way, we cannot ignore that there are also the so-called pillows for pregnant women.  These have a larger size and have the particularity that they not only allow the head to rest but also support the voluminous belly of future moms.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to these characteristics, pregnant women can sleep well and rest deeply, while enjoying other advantages.  Specifically, they help them improve blood circulation or reduce back pain without forgetting that, in addition, they are optimal even after childbirth to facilitate breastfeeding. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the pillow, it is possible to keep the <strong>straight spine<\/strong>, since the space that remains in the neck is filled.  Whoever lies down can also relax the muscles of the neck and other body regions because the <strong>head<\/strong> rest on the pillow.<\/p>\n<p>Usually elongated in shape, pillows have a <strong>soft filling<\/strong> (made with feathers, fibers or latex), which is protected by a <strong>inner sleeve<\/strong>.  To cover this cover, another is used that may have <strong>closing<\/strong> or <strong>zipper<\/strong> so that it can be removed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;4739&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;pillow&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to fully analyze the meaning of the term pillow, the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4740,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-definition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4739\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
