I am going to reread the page. I can't recall now, honestly. A bolster is a long pillow in the U.S. as well.

P.S. It is "bolster", not "sack of grain". Alas, my philological joke was, it is certain, a figment of my imagination. Maybe the author has the book mixed up with the movie. I can't recall what they used in the film sequence.
