When I was MUCH younger, I remember sledding down a very steep hill and going up over the next, then down again and ending up in a pine tree! A pillow (or helmet) would have made it much safer.
Nowadays (being in my 40s) the pillow would work better to cushion my posterior from hemorrhoids and hurting the coccyx (tailbone). I have to, especially after a bad slip & fall I experienced in March 2017. I ended up fracturing my tailbone and T-12 vertebrae. It kept me off work for a month, plus physical therapy and Norcos.
