I gave up on throw pillows for my reading corner and used a rolled duvet instead, and it actually holds up

Maybe it's just me, but I think most back support pillows for couches are a scam. I spent $60 on a wedge pillow last year and it flattened out in 3 weeks, so I tried rolling up my spare duvet and shoving it behind my lower back instead. I mean, it's been 5 months now and it hasn't lost its shape once, plus I can unroll it if a guest needs an actual blanket. The trick is folding it in thirds first, then rolling tight, so it makes a firm log about the size of a couch arm. I get why people buy the fancy pillows, they look nicer, but idk, mine cost nothing and works better. Has anyone else swapped out a store bought pillow for something from the linen closet and been surprised it lasted?
