A pillow is a large cushion support for the head, usually used while sleeping in a bed, but I think you can’t see this shape pillow or for the body as used on a couch or chair. There are also throw pillows (also called toss pillows), which are pillows that are purely decorative and not designed for support or comfort. Outside the USA these are generally considered a type of cushion, with the term pillow reserved for the pillows on a bed.
