Have you ever considered the origins of cushions? Cushions initially appeared circa 7,000 BCE, during the early Mesopotamian period. Cushions were related to status – the more you owned the more affluent you were seen to be. In a time of discomfort for the majority, to be comfortable was to be wealthy. Although no cushions survive from this period, we are able to ascertain their style and usage from ancient wall art. As dyes and fabrics were very expensive, cushions became individual pieces of art that represented the taste (and wealth) of the owner.
Cushions from the Egyptian period are best known for being wooden or stone headrests. In this way, they are closer to the meaning of the word ‘pillow’ which derives from the latin word ‘pulvinus’. ‘Pulvinus’ shares its etymology with the word ‘pulpit’ – the raised standing platform in churches. This is, essentially, what pillows or cushions were to the Egyptians – raised platforms for the head. Most famously, these hard cushions have been found in the tombs of Egypt, supporting the heads of mummies.
