Eli5: Why do adults sleep with pillows when babies do not? What are the benefits of using a pillow as an adult?

481 views

I noticed that I actually slept better this week when I wasn’t using a pillow. Made me curious.

ETA: I think my framing was slightly unhelpful. I do understand why babies don’t sleep with pillows due to the risks. I am more curious about if there are benefits to using a pillow as an adult.

Most people find them more comfortable. That’s the benefit, people use them because they are more comfortable and people like being comfortable while they sleep.

If you are an exception to this and do not find pillows comfortable, just don’t use them.
