Although there is no clear inventor of the pillow, in ancient Mesopotamia of 7000 B.C., people slept on stone pillows under their heads. Pillows were a status symbol. Here are some more facts regarding pillows, check off the ones you are familiar with:

Sometime in the early 1950s, actor Cary Grant was staying at the luxurious Mayfair Hotel in downtown St. Louis. He was a frequent guest and booked the penthouse suite, and he had a woman who was meeting him there. (At the time, Grant was married to this third wife, actress Betsy Drake.) As the story goes, the woman arrived at the suite before Grant did, and found that he had laid a trail of chocolates. It started in the sitting room, ran into the bedroom, across the bed, and onto the pillow, sort of a seductive "Hansel and Gretel" breadcrumb trail." (A letter was also left on the bed, although its contents, along with the identity of the woman, and if the chocolates, uh, worked, remain undisclosed.) The Mayfair's manager heard about the chocolate gambit, likely because a hotel staffer had to procure the chocolates and lay them out. The manager liked the idea so much that he made a chocolate on the pillow upon arrival one of the hotel's many standard amenities. Hundreds of hotels have since adopted the gesture. Were you aware of this pillow-chocolate story?
