Spangled  bobbins were designed for flat or almost flat pillows.  Though 
people  sometimes use them otherwise, the spangle does not function properly  
unless it is flat.


Except that the spangled bobbin is also known as the English Midlands  
bobbin, and the traditional pillow to go with them is a large bolster.  So  
they 
evolved to be used on the gently curved surface of this type of  pillow, not on 
what we would now think of as a flat pillow.
