What about head's in other people's farmer's old crotches?

That is a mental image I don't really need on a Friday afternoon......

I read "bolster" and thought chisels... Boggled to wonder what you'd be wanting one that big for.

Old, as in, used, not aged, really. For a six foot tube, couldn't you just stuff a pair of jeans, doing the splits? Sew up the leg bottoms and the waist, and there you go. Handy pockets for bed time Things, too.

Yes a small variation on that would work bit it depends if Chez is thinking boudoir or utility.

You wouldn't want to put your head on a lobster. Or maybe you would? Everyone is different.

I can reassure that I have no desire to to put my head on a lobster. Or an old farmer's crotch. Or a lobster that's had it's head in an old farmer's crotch.

Cathryn, utility is where I am going. I have purchased a proper feather bolster to go on top/in front of it, so it's going to be hidden. The bed is six feet wide (in order to fit in all Arvo's in a line each morning, eating our porridge like the three bears) and it's got a gap between the mattress and the bottom bar of the headboard, where the pillows keep sliding down. I think a six inch diameter one will wedge nicely in the gap and stop me getting neck-ache when my pillow disappears.

The one I feel really sorry for is the old farmer with a lobster in his crotch.
