Sorry, very unexciting (thankfully!)

It's round, one long edge is slightly flattened and it's in the same upholstery as the chair.

Big enough to be an elephants tampon but no string so I'm not sure.

What does a bolster do? It's itchy not very nice material

Is there a single bed that was a sofa?
If so, that normally goes along the back or on the side of it

We have a double, a single, what looks like a little camp bed thing and the most uncomfortable travel cot ever. I assumed it was to put down the middle of the bed so DH couldn't touch me but I've booted him out into the single instead and baby is in with me Grin

For couples ttc. She puts it under her bum!!

Imfinehowareyou · 22/04/2019 21:48

It's to go on the single bed for people having restful stays (not families!) so they have a sofa.
If you are a family it is used for climbing on and pushing over until one of the parents shout.

It's all rough and itchy but I guess that might be someone's thing...

I'll remember that for when DD is old enough to move under her own steam

Frequented many a Premier Inn, Travelodge and Holiday Inn - never had one of these contraptions though!

DGM always put it down the middle of her bed when I went in for tea and biscuits.

Easterbunnynearlyhere · 22/04/2019 21:59

Maybe to batter non sleeping dc unconscious with??
Or a snoring dh??

JinglingHellsBells · 22/04/2019 22:06

It goes along the long side of the bed- often next to a wall- to make a 'back' so it's like a sofa then a bed when you take it off.
