What we like: Works as a supporting headboard

What we don’t like: Can’t be used as a sleeping pillow

Not all extra long bolster pillows are cylinders! This bolster pillow works as a headboard and as a support for your back while reading in bed. It has made our top pick list because it provides amazing support and can be taken off when you don’t need it or want a different headboard look.

Made from a linen cotton blend, it works well to stop other pillows falling down the back of the bed.

Other people who have bought it have also used it to transform their day beds into couches! Although it can’t be used like a traditional bolster pillow for sleeping, it provides excellent lumbar support on your bed or a deep couch.
