Ana Blanco used to urge us (lovingly) to try making and using a
bolster pillow, citing the comfort and convenience of using one. She
was so urgent and so loving about it that I did make one -- 20-odd
years ago -- and am still using it happily, for certain large
pieces. Ana said to stuff it with wool; I couldn't bring myself to do
that to wool, so I stuffed mine with excelsior. I have not had
Tamara's experience with "knees" in the excelsior, my knee-problems
being confined to personal physiology.
But the big thing that Ana cited (and it's true!) is that you can
stand the bolster up anywhere, a chair-back being the likeliest
place, but just about anywhere that the level is comfortable for you.
No "horses" needed. I gave my bolster a little bracelet on its side,
and yes I do carry the bolster to workshops, meetings, etc. when it's
right for the piece at issue at the moment.
