Hands-Free Reading Pedestals

The Pillow Book Rest Lets You Get Comfy Reading in Bed

— October 16, 2012 — Art & Design
Whether it's a novel or your tablet, the pillow book rest will prop these items up at the perfect angle so you won't have to strain your neck.

The pyramid-shaped pillow has a suede cover so it won't damage your books. Made for books, e-readers and tablets, the book rest can be set on your desk or in your lap for the perfect angle while reading. It also comes with an angled edge to keep your reading material secure and stop it from sliding off as well so you can keep reading hands-free while you get a drink of water. A convenient tassel bookmark is attached to the tip of the pyramid for easy page-marking, so there's no need for dog ears.

The pillow book rest is a great gift for book lovers, especially those who love to read or check their email in bed before catching sleep.
