Abstract (en)

A pillow (10) includes a series of juxtaposed sections (30, 40, 50, 60), each foldable relative to each other. Each section (30, 40, 50, 60) has information (36, 46, 56, 66) of an educational nature displayed thereon. Each section (30, 40, 50, 60) is also provided with a fixing means (32, 42, 52, 62) arranged to fix the pillow (10) in a folded arrangement in which the pillow (10) is useable for sleeping. Selected sections (30, 40, 50, 60) of the pillow (10) can be unfixed from one another and turned like the pages of a book, thereby allowing the information (36, 46, 56, 66) displayed thereon to be studied. <IMAGE>
