I have seen flat square pillows and Square pillows with Rollers, and
flat round pillows all being used in Tonder in Denmark with Continental
Bobbins and Danish bobbins.

There are many styles of pillows -- flat, cookies, round balls,
bolsters of various sizes and shapes, roller pillows in a variety of
sizes and shapes. Lace developed all over Europe in the days when
communication was much more difficult than today. The style of lace
varied, and the bobbins and pillows used in an area were developed by
the people in that area to suit their lace type. The threads available
to a region varied.  It's easy to imagine how variations in equipment
styles would develop as people found out what worked best for themselve
