Abstract
The present invention provides a floor pillow structure that is configured to maintain its shape and feel over extended use without relying on rigid frame components. In some embodiments this floor pillow structure integrates a floor pad and a bolster through a cover system that is configured to generate tension between the bolster and floor pad thereby imparting structure on an otherwise structureless component. Some embodiments of the present invention also provide a bolster-floor pad interface comprising a perimeter channel that is configured to allow a user of the invention to relieve joint and appendage pressure when using the floor pillow structure.

A furniture system comprising:
- a base comprising a base chamber in a cover configured to accept a floor pad;
- a bolster comprising a bolster chamber in the cover configured to accept one or more bolsters;
- wherein the base chamber and bolster chamber are attached at a perimeter, and
- wherein the floor pad is configured to exert pressure on the base chamber and the bolster chamber when installed in the base chamber.
A floor pillow structure comprising:
- a base floor pad;
- and
- a perimeter bolster that is attached around an outer perimeter of the base floor pad,
- wherein the base floor pad is configured to provide tension on the perimeter bolster such that the perimeter bolster does not sag over the edge of the base floor pad.
A method of retaining a bolster on a floor pillow structure comprising:
- attaching the bolster to a base floor pad at an outer perimeter of a base floor pad so that the bolster rests on top of the base floor pad,
