Science of the Secondary – Pillow

“As a first necessity of life to the great mass of those who enjoy sleeping, the pillow is a basic support for all and occasionally the sole comfort for those without a bed. It might naturally be supposed that the enjoyment and experience of a pillow, wholesomely and without haste, would be familiar to most and has no need to be further discussed nor considered an object of peculiar interest. Such is the view amongst persons who are entirely ignorant of our everyday subtleties until they find themselves one night, tossing and turning, alarmed and angered as to why sleep does not come easily…”

‘Science of the Secondary: Pillow’ is the 18th edition in the series of ongoing research conceived and developed by Atelier HOKO.
