ComfortSpaReading Pillow for Bed Adult Size, Back Rest Pillow with Arms, Pockets and Washable Cover; Use as a Back Pillow for Sitting in Bed for Bedrest or Relief from Heartburn (Large Navy Blue)

I had not had a reading pillow for decades and had forgotten what a luxury they are. I am writing this during the quarantine of 2020, while we are spending extensive down time at home. Thus, this purchase.Cost - I was surprised at the higher cost of some of these pillows, but I am sure they are making a come back demand. This one was moderately priced, leaning more towards economical.Shipping - I am a Prime member and received it in a day or so. Upon opening my front door and seeing a medium sized box, I thought ‘What in the world?’ I previously worked for a popular home goods store chain and we merchandised them as open stock on shelves. The first thing I pulled out of the box, was a letter stating not to be alarmed at the pillowed being compressed quite flat. It went on to say that it will shake out, but may take a couple days to rise to its full size. I thought, ‘Yeah, right. Better keep the box for a disappointing return’. So not the case. I pulled the pillow out (shrink wrapped, for lack of a better description), grabbed it by both sides and gave it a few good shakes. Much to my surprise, the pillow was perfectly ready for use. I do not know how many times I had to shake it, but I was not tired afterwards. My pillow rose to its full capacity immediately and did not require any extra time.Quality - This is a very well constructed pillow. It is firm, but comfy. If you are looking for a very fluffy and feather like pillow, this is not the one you should select. It comes with an ample bag of extra stuffing, making its firmness adjustable. As I am the type of person who immediately seasons their food prior to taste, I unzipped ( double zipper) the pillow and inserted the entire bag into the back of the pillow. I did not even remove the contents fro the bag. A normal human would have tried the pillow out first and perhaps found there was not a need for extra stuffing. Or, perhaps they may had added the stuffing to the arm rests or another particular part of the pillow. Forgive me. It is a character flaw. Albeit, from the side view, you cannot even tell.I should mention that it also has a securely attached handle on top. This is not a heavy pillow, but depending on ones health, this handle could be needed.Size - I am 5’9 and weight 132 lbs. I keep the pillow atop of my sleeping pillow (see photos) , and it totally accommodates my height. There is plenty of room for a person with a larger frame.Extras - There is a large pocket on the back of the pillow, which will accommodate a magazine or two. There are smaller pockets on each arm rest. I am sure they will hold a cell phone and remote, to make carrying of the pillow and additional items from room to room easier.The cover is removable, for washing. It only comes in this dark bluish teal color, that leans towards navy. I may have chosen an alternate color, but this is a small family business, explaining the lack of a color selection. I am very satisfied with the shade.On the mention of the company owners, the letter gives clear contact info, should you be dis-satisfied.I think that this is going to be a very long long affair.

This arrived on a really cold day and when I opened it, it was like a brick (apparently due to being in the extreme cold). I had to let it sit for a day before I could start to try to punch it in shape. After about 2 days I could finally get it molded into shape. It is so full and stout and holds up great. It is actually quite heavy and needs some breaking in. The material is soft, it’s a perfect size and height. I am really pleased with the pillow, quality is excellent and I am sure this will last for years.

At first I wasn’t sure because the packaging was so small, follow the directions and enjoy! It’s sturdy and comfortable. I ordered (black)

Super soft with good support.

I originally bought this for my camper. With limited room, it made TV viewing much more comfortable. I liked it enough that I bought a second one for my home.The pillow is comfortable, seems well made, and (after a lot of use) seems durable.Though, honestly, all of these positive features might not have motivated me to take the time to write this review.In the packaging, the company owners include a "welcome" card. They briefly tell their story and encourage customers to call them if they encounter any problems. It included an actual, I kid you not, phone number...something most companies seem to have misplaced nowadays :)While many might consider this a small thing, I thought it was a very nice touch. The card wasn't flashy, it seemed sincere, and it made me believe that these owners really do care about the quality of their products.It was a heartwarming throwback to the days when companies actually valued customer service. I doubt I'll ever have the occasion to call the support number, but it's nice to know I could if necessary. So, thank you!

When this pillow arrived, I did not even recognize it as being a pillow. It came scrunched up in a small box, and after unpacking it, looked more like a limp, old stuffed animal. No shape to it at all and filled with hard, lumpy inconsistantly scattered small pieces of foam that smelled of strong chemicals. No matter what I did with it, it remained limp and shapeless. To think of laying on this when not feeling well is a ludicrous thought to be sure. i am returning it.

Overall, it's a good lounging pillow. Made up of cut up foam rather than one big solid piece, it is much more forgiving on the back and shoulders. It is quite heavy and bulky, however, making it difficult to travel with or easily moved from room to room if you've got back problems. I was hoping to pack it into a suitcase, but it was just too big and added way too much weight. But it's comfy.

Just so you know, I was better off not following the instructions and doing what I thought was best 😄 Because this pillow is so large and firm, it filled out nicely when I left it in the dryer on a warm setting for at least 20-30 minutes. The directions say 10 minutes on a cool setting. It’s sturdy, plushy, and a nice height. Perfect thickness for reading in bed or a snooze 💤
