Just been fighting with my bedding.......!

Ellianne … Now you've made me laugh!
I've read or heard that quote before somewhere along the road, but completely forgotten it.
I don't know how though, because it makes an 'arresting' image to say the least!!

A BOLSTER! (Say it like A HAAAANDBAG? in The Importance of being Ernest)
Had no idea that 1910 item still existed. My granny had one.
Why do people want propping up at night? I sleep on one flat pillow. When away from home I have to dump half the bed clothes on the floor along with all the pillows and cushions.

We have a bolster in one bedroom but our covers are fairly loose. I'd consider buying a wider case for yours!

I’ve been trying for years to figure out an easy way!
I think we need a French person to help us, bolsters are far more common there than here in the U.K.

Namsnanny you made me laugh and reminded me of 40+ years ago when I was at a top university studying Samuel Beckett for my dissertation. There was a novel by him called Molloy I think, and there was a paragraph that said:
M was trying to stuff his * into his partner's like stuffing a pillow into a pillow case.
I've never forgotten that after all this time. Strange things we had to study to get a BA!!

DanniRae ... great minds think alike

I too have a bolster and it drives me crazy getting the long pillow inside I end up shaking it so much to get it to go all the way down, I feel like I’ve had an arm workout when I’ve finished

Namsnanny - Well I had the same thought ..........

Too

Oh my goodness all I can think of is my early sex education lessons!!!! Condom on a cucumber anyone?
So sorry for my vulgarity everyone. Spent to much time on my own, I must need re introducing into polite society!

Roll it down to about 6" from the end, slip it over the end of the bolster and roll it back up. That's how I put on my socks, anyway. If you do it quickly, it shouldn't make too many unsightly creases. And if it did - who would see them?

I’ve no suggestions, apart from taking the long seam apart and replacing it with a zip or Velcro, but you’ve reminded me that my parents had a bolster! I thought it very sophisticated.
