Question
Should one be concerned that placing pajamas under the pillow causes forgetfulness?
Answer
If there is no pillow above the garment, it may cause forgetfulness. If there is a pillow, there is no concern.
Source
It is explained in Horayot 13 that placing garments under one's head causes forgetfulness. The Mishnah Berurah (Siman 2, Se'if Katan 2) explains in the name of the Magen Giborim that if there is something separating the head from the garments, there is no concern, and in our case, if there is a pillow, it separates the head from the clothes.
