Do you guys now what is a bolster? It's a pillow... some definition form wikipedia
A bolster (etymology: Middle English, derived from Old English, and before that the Germanic word bulgstraz) is a long narrow pillow or cushion filled with cotton, down, or fibre. In western countries, it is usually placed at the head of bed and functions as head or back support. In southeast Asian countries, in particular Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, the bolster is designed to be hugged when sleeping. It is called a dakimakura in Japanese. In the Philippines, many call it the "hotdog pillow" following the close resemblance to the food bearing that name. In Chinese, its hanyu pinyin is "bao zhen" (lit. "hugging pillow"). In cantonese, it's called "Lam Chim". The Indonesian/Malay folks called it "bantal peluk" or "bantal guling".
Don recently found his bolster to comfort him during a cold rainy day...

Though it is not filled with comfy cotton but Don stills love it



BTW... the bolster in the photo if you haven't notice, is my right leg ...
