The pyramid-shaped pillow has a suede cover so it won't damage your books. Made for books, [e-readers and tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcase-kindle), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaverlab-farseer-e1) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hands-free Reading:** The Pillow Book Rest offers an opportunity for disruptive innovation in adjustable device stands and mounts for comfortable reading. - **Multi-device Accessories:** The Pillow Book Rest showcases an opportunity for the development of multi-device accessories to offer better experiences for users who frequently use different types of devices in different settings. - **Comfort-driven Designs:** The Pillow Book Rest proves that there is a growing need for accessories with comfort-driven designs, opening up opportunities for the creation of comfortable accessories for other types of activities. ### Where This Applies - **Publishing:** The publishing industry can capitalise on the trend of hands-free reading by developing new accessories and offering bundled packages with select publications for readers. - **Technology:** The technology industry can benefit from this trend by creating more adjustable device stands and mounts that cater to the comfort of the users while using electronic devices. - **Travel and Leisure:** The travel and leisure industry can explore opportunities in creating lightweight and portable hands-free reading accessories for bookworms who enjoy reading while traveling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reading Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe.md) - [Convenient Book Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/android-book-light.md) - [Music-Playing Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-book-stand.md) - [Book-Shaped Transparent Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bookmark.md) - [Adaptive Ergonomic Bed Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ostrichpillow-bed-pillow.md) - [Contoured Gamer Support Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neochi-pillow-for-gaming.md) - [Hands-Free Page Turners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s30-remote.md) - [Personality-Enhancing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ordo-book.md) - [Tech-Charging Book Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haaase-liesma-bookshelf.md)
