🛌 In ancient Egypt, people used round stones instead of pillows. This was due to the tradition of preserving the shape of the head after death, as they believed in the possibility of resurrection in the afterlife. Stone pillows were convenient for this purpose, as they did not deform the shape of the head. Later, in more developed societies, more comfortable and soft pillows appeared, but the tradition of using stone pillows was preserved in some religious circles. Nowadays, stone pillows are used as a decorative element and style in eco or minimalist interiors.
