My mom made one of these stuffed with nylon hose--but she rolled the hose into donuts (like you roll them down your legs), put them inside the squares, sewed up the open side, then tied it in the middle of the ring of hose. I don't ever remember seeing this on a bed--I would think it would be uncomfortable--she hung hers on a curtain rod in the doorway of a room that didn't have a door for a privacy screen.
