Can't find a "large floor pillow" anywhere

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

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.
