Dog pillows
Pillows contain a filler made from a variety of materials including, foam,
synthetic fills, feathers, or down. Traditionally straw was a common filler, but
this is uncomfortable and rarely used today. Historically feathers and down were
the choice of the rich; today artificial fills are the most common. The fill is
surrounded with a cover made of some form of cloth or silk. Pillows on furniture
normally include a zipper in this cover so that the fill can occasionally be
removed and the covering laundered. Bed pillows do not have this feature, and
instead a pillow case, a thin covering, is used that can be frequently and
easily removed and washed. Even with regular washing, pillows tend to accumulate
large amounts of dust and vast numbers of microbes among the fill and it is
recommended that they be replaced every few years, especially for those with
allergies. Memory foam pillow
