I wanted to find a large floor pillow to use with my futon against the wall, to have something to lay back against. We always had them when I was growing up, laid on them on the floor while watching TV. They were about 4-5 feet long. I think I even remember seeing them at stores like Walmart. I searched and searched yesterday, and you can't find them anywhere. All you find are the small couch pillows for $50. Or there is some new fangled thing, Indian like, round, but I don't know where you buy the cushions, only the covers.
So I guess I will have to make one myself. I thought, maybe this would be a good item to sell on Etsy, but I have just the rudimentary skills as a seamstress.
You see a lot of these online

(5,625 posts)I looked at cost of shipping via USPS and they won't ship something that big. And UPS would charge something like 1000 because of its size.
I don't quite understand shipping charges. I ordered a futon frame which weighs 40 pounds from Wayfair and so cost of shipping should be 70 dollars, but the whole thing only costs 135, and they don't charge for shipping.
