Rolled pillow

Abstract

A combination cushion, decorative pillow, and holder of items, which may be an elongated flexible tubular structure that when rolled or moved in various positions provides a support system or tray and creates pockets of areas that hold items; such as drinks, phones, pens, tablets, etc. A sash or fastening apparatus may be attached to one end and can be used to connect and stabilize the structure into various configurations. The internal construction can include a plethora of filling materials including but not limited to a terry cloth material that when rolled on end provides for a tubular structural design. There may be an inserted wire that will hold the products shape. The internal structure may be encased in a removable, washable outer cover that may include a water resistant material. The apparatus should be long enough to allow for rolling into at least one and a half rotations.
