Reading pillows can make all the difference in comfort for those who love to read in bed. I’ve found reading to be the most natural of sleep aids and enjoy reading every night to calm myself before sleep.

Trying to read using only bed pillows causes discomfort because the regular pillows simply can’t be positioned to provide proper support. You hate this too, don’t you?

The solution, of course, it to have a special reading pillow, then remove it when you’re ready to go to sleep. The pillows made for reading in bed come in varying shapes and sizes.

The right one for you can be found by shopping online and studying the different shapes.

These pillows also make great gifts for friends who love to read in bed too! A popular pillow for reading is the back rest pillow with arms. These pillows create a shape almost like a chair back with arms extending on each side. Some have adjustable head rests. These reading pillows are really comfortable- I love them! They are covered with a wide variety of fabrics, the most common seems to be corduroy because it is so sturdy and will last a long time.

The wide range of colors and fabrics will allow you to find a pillow for reading that will fit perfectly with your bedroom decor. These pillows are also often used on sofas for daytime reading in a reclined position.

Memory foam is very popular today because it shapes itself perfectly to the body. Reading wedge pillows in memory foam have become a great hit with many customers. These pillows are usually simple wedge-shaped pillows which can also be used under the legs to prevent back pressure when sleeping on the back. Memory foam is a bit more expensive than other pillows, but they are so comfortable you won’t mind the small added cost!

There are also square pillows for reading in bed. These pillows are sectioned into two parts so the pillow will shape itself to your needs. Usually seen with cotton covers, the pillows can be placed in large pillow cases to protect the pillow cover. Which ever pillow you choose for reading in bed, you’ll be thrilled and relieved that you can finally stop shifting around, trying to just get comfy enough to read for while!
