And how wide should my sofa be?

A bolster 50 cm long requires at least about 50 cm of space where you want to place it.

With a seat width of:

50 – 60 cm: use the bolster as an accent.
60 – 80 cm: ideal for one bolster, possibly with a small decorative cushion.
80 – 120 cm: lovely for a combination of several cushions or a cushion set.
120 cm or more: combine the bolster with larger decorative cushions for a fuller look.
However, also pay attention to the thickness of your bolster.

What exactly does a bolster cushion do?

People also call this cushion a neck roll. The cushion is shaped like a long, firm tube. With this round shape, you break up the hard, straight lines of your sofa, armchair, or bed. This cushion really helps your body. You can easily slide the firm roll behind your lower back or under your neck. This makes it much more comfortable to sit while reading or watching TV.
