Abstract: A pillow has a rope which is disposed within the pillow so as to connect the central portions of both end surfaces of the pillow. When a user places his or her head on the pillow, part of a load from the head is borne by the rope via the filling material. Further, although the filling material tends to move to the left and right due to the weight of the head and causes the end surfaces of the pillows to bulge leftward and rightward, respectively, such movement of the filling material is restricted by the rope. The filling material includes chips of cypress that have been subjected to steam heat treatment. Therefore, the filling material produces a scent that provides the user with a feeling that he or she is in a forest. Moreover, since the length of the rope can be adjusted from the outside, the height of the pillow can be adjusted.
