Cylinder, squash it,
Twist Begin: 72 Twist End: -162
Taper X: -.05 Taper Y: .25
These are the settings from a natural prim pillow in my inventory...I think I may have copied it from a Pillow Talk pillow, honestly.

I tried that - ended up with a short cylinder with lumpy sides.

From: Arrow Hand I tried that - ended up with a short cylinder with lumpy sides. Squash meaning ovular, rather than circular, not shorten. Ans yes, that's the point, it's vaguely more pillow shaped than a natural cylinder, and about the best you'll do without going to multiple prims or sculpts.

Or you can make a decent-looking throw pillow for a sofa out of a torus with no hole in the middle. For an extra prim, add a sphere in the middle for a button.
