Why is it masculine?
Travesseiros is masculine because it derives from the Latin "traversarium," which became masculine in Portuguese following the regular phonetic evolution of Latin masculine nouns ending in "-arius" (which became "-eiro" in Portuguese). The word originally referred to something placed crosswise (from "traversus"), and the masculine gender was preserved through this Romance language sound change.
