Boring Facts About Pillows to Fall Asleep To

Boring Facts About Pillows to Fall Asleep To

In this calm and deliberately boring episode, you'll listen to hundreds of quiet facts about pillows — from the simple purpose of filling the gap between a head and a mattress, to the ancient Mesopotamians who carved blocks of stone to rest on nine thousand years ago. You'll hear about Egyptian ivory headrests placed in tombs for the afterlife, Chinese porcelain pillows painted with landscapes during the Song Dynasty, and Japanese wooden stands designed not for comfort but to preserve elaborate hairstyles overnight. There are facts about goose down fill power ratings, the hollow core of a polyester fiber, the difference between a percale weave and a sateen weave, and the surprisingly long history of the pillow tag sewn into every seam. You'll learn that NASA invented memory foam in 1966 for astronaut crash protection, that a single pillow can harbor tens of thousands of dust mites, and that buckwheat hull pillows have been used in Japan for centuries because the husks interlock and let air pass through. Tonight, as you listen, you can simply rest inside the thought that even the most ordinary subject contains more quiet details than anyone could ever notice at once.
