Headrests were used in ancient Egypt in place of pillows to support the head during sleep. Their raised, curved form kept the head elevated, allowing air to circulate in the hot climate. Beyond daily use, headrests held protective and symbolic meaning, guarding the sleeper during the night. They were also placed in burials, where they ensured the protection, renewal, and rebirth of the deceased in the afterlife.
