My bean bag is not a bean bag but a cushion stuffed loosely with polystyrene balls i.e. in that it can be "moved" and the shape changed. It is sewn into an oblong shape about 18 inches by 10 inches and I used a swede-type fabric for it so it is non-slip. It works a dream on any pillow I use, including my upright Maltese bolster.

(This can be as wide as the pillow, or not quite, if you use the polystyrene bean bag beads it allows the pillow to settle and stay put without slipping or rocking...< Now, what is the ideal shape for such a beanbag? I have made a doll-sized beanbag 'chair' (circular shape), but my circular straw pillow still rocks when I rest it on this beanbag. If I made the pattern larger, then the beanbag could be too bulky to manage on a tabletop. Would an 'orange segment' shape beanbag work better, under a circular pillow? What shape would you recommend?
