A pillow is used to sleep on and support the head/neck or other parts of the body while sleeping, lying down or sitting.

In addition, pillows have decorative uses and are used on beds, couches or chairs; these are also referred to as cushions.

A mattress is a large pad for supporting the reclining body, used as a bed or as part of a bed.

Mattresses may consist of a quilted or similarly fastened case, usually of heavy cloth, that contains hair, straw, cotton, foam rubber, etc., or a framework of metal springs.

Mattresses may also be filled with air or water.

A bed is a piece of furniture which is used as a place to sleep or relax.

Most modern beds consist of a soft, cushioned mattress on a bed frame, with the mattress resting either on a solid base, often wood slats, or a sprung base.

Many beds include a box spring inner-sprung base, a large mattress-sized box containing wood and springs that provide additional support and suspension for the mattress.

Beds are available in many sizes, ranging from infant-sized bassinets and cribs, small beds for a single child or adult, to large queen and king-size beds designed for two adults.

While most beds are single mattresses on a fixed frame, there are other varieties, such as the murphy bed, which folds into a wall, the sofa bed, which folds out of a sofa, and the bunk bed, which provides two mattresses on two tiers.

Temporary beds include the inflatable air mattress and the folding camp cot.

Some beds contain neither a padded mattress nor a bed frame, such as the hammock and they are considered one of the most comfortable places to rest while swaying side to side.

Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles, and reduced interactions with surroundings.

It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, but is more easily reversed than the state of being comatose.

Sleep occurs in repeating periods, in which the body alternates between two highly distinct modes known as non-REM and REM sleep.

Although REM stands for "rapid eye movement", sleep affects other brain-body functions, including virtual paralysis of the body.
