Bolster Pillow Information

Bolster Pillows have been popular for centuries. To learn about the origin of the Bolster Pillow, we must first look to the Far East.

Bolster Pillow History

Bolster Pillows were originally called a "bamboo wife." A wife would construct one out of bamboo for her husband to carry on his journeys to sleep with and not be lonely for home. In the past, it was common for people to make their own bolster pillows, but today it is much more common for them to be professionally made in order to use as a decorative piece.

Today, Bolster Pillows are still very popular in homes. The modern bolster pillows can be both functional and decorative. For functionality, a Bolster Pillow makes a great back or neck rest when lounging in bed or on a bench.
