"quilt" or "network," probably means some counterpane or veil intended to protect the head of the sleeper. A different Hebrew word (meraashoth') is used for "bolster" ( 1 Samuel 26:7,11,16 ). It is rightly rendered in Revised Version "at his head." In Genesis 28:11,18 the Authorized Version renders it "for his pillows," and the Revised Version "under his head." In Ezekiel 13:18,20 another Hebrew word (kesathoth) is used, properly denoting "cushions" or "pillows," as so rendered both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.
