How it's used
While 枕頭 is the standard term for pillow, 枕頭肉 specifically refers to the soft, stuffed inner part or the pillow itself as a physical object. It is often used when discussing the comfort or the filling of the pillow. You will hear it more frequently in domestic contexts when talking about changing or cleaning bedding.

Learners often confuse this with 枕頭套, which is the pillowcase. Remember that 枕頭肉 is the actual cushion, whereas 枕頭套 is just the fabric cover.
