Triangle Pillow Red and Orange Thailand

Triangle Pillow Red and Orange Kapok Fill 12" x 12" x 19"

The origins of Thai pillows reach back far into Thailand’s past. While the historical record is not precise, we know that Thai pillow-making dates back to the beginning of the Sukhothai era (the mid-13th Century) and probably much earlier.

The essential “ingredients” of Thai pillows and mats (Tip: The term “Thai Pillows” also includes mattresses and mats.) are fabric, kapok (the fill), and rice straw for triangle pillows. These ingredients have been available to Siamese culture for thousands of years.
