Yogibo Support Reading Pillow Unique U-Shaped Backrest with Arms, Provides A Lift for Watching TV, Gaming, Working, Filled with Soft Micro-Beads, Blue

I have tried various ways to try sleep in an upright position with foam wedges (too hard), stacked pillows (too unstable) and bed chair pillows (too squishy)! This Yogibo U shaped backrest is perfect. It is perhaps not ideal for everyone but for anyone who has a health condition that make it helpful to sleep in a semi-reclined position this can alleviate the problem. The support wraps around the body and is firm enough to stay in place while the raised back supports the shoulders. Sleeping this was allows me to breath more easily that lying flat on my back. It has made a huge difference in the quality of sleep for me.

This is nice. It is the equivalent of a U-Shaped Bean Bag with the tiny Styrofoam pebbles. I don't know if that is what they are, that is just what they feel like and sound like) to me.I use this for a lady that has trouble sitting up on her own for very long. We were making something similar with tall foam wedges on her sides and one at her back; wasn't working the best. So, I decided to try this. This is perfect. It allows her to sit up on the side of the bed. The pillow is firm yet soft. The beads inside allow you to semi-shape the pillow so it can get a little taller or you can press it down to make it a little more lower profile. And you can adjust the sides around the person for a more snug fit without having to worry about her sliding out or tipping over.This was a good purchase for us and so far the quality seems to be pretty high. Should anything change over the next few months I will come back here and update my rating/review. If I don't, then it is still working perfectly.

I've had this guy for a little over a month now and I think I'm ready to share my final thoughts and opinions.I often spend a decent amount of my days off laying around catching up on the next binge worthy tv series. My very expensive bed just so happens to be the best place to do that. I stand and run around on my feet all day at work and I also have some pretty significant back problems (like several screws and hooks holding my spine together, back problems). When I want to collapse at the end of the night or do nothing on my day off, I NEED to feel comfortable and supported. It's just not an option.So I was on the prowl on the world wide web for a solution/pillow/something that would allow me to watch tv and bum it out in my bed whilst still supporting my back. My makeshift stack of pillows weren't doing it for me anymore, nor were the several other previously purchased body pillows that ended up thrown in the trash or given away. In fact, I'm pretty sure they were all putting me on the fast track to needing another surgery.Anyway, my search was narrowed down to this guy and a bunch of very expensive 8+ piece stackable foam contraptions that I'm expected to take apart and put together everyday.. and then store in my bedroom where??I chose the obvious option.I won't lie, I almost gave up on this thing. It is firm. Too firm. I really liked that I could move the beads around and manipulate it to conform to my body but I couldn't help feeling like it had so much potential and just fell short.One night I fell asleep in a full face of makeup, took the outer pillowcase off and threw it in the wash and WOW. I need the company to listen up because I'm pretty certain doing this would solve most of the similar issues that other reviewers have complained about. Only did my disappointment in the product return when I had to shove this thing back into the tiny, meat tube like pillowcase again. I appreciate the fact that the fabric of the outer pillowcase doesn't allow my cats claws to slice open and spill millions of tiny beads all over my room but please, please hear me out when I ask you to make a removable case for these that isn't SO stinking constricting. The product itself (without outer pillowcase) is bomb. Stretchy, soft, comfortable, refillable. I won't lie, I admittedly left the pillowcase off for a few days and I absolutely enjoyed feeling like I was laying on a cloud. But that overly snug pillowcase creates such a firm pillow and it really is such a buzzkill.The product lacks the ability to allow its customers to choose their preferred firmness level. It could easily be customized to suit every persons wants and needs (soft, med, firm) by simply offering the customer different sizes in the outer pillowcase. A larger/looser fitting pillowcase to the current would surely provide folks who like a little more squish to still get the support they need without giving up their comforability preference. Honestly, if I could buy an outer pillowcase that was as soft and stretchy as the inner one is, I'd buy several more of these pillows and be a forever customer. But right now, we just need more options.

I absolutely love this pillow! I have been having a lot of issues with back pain at night, so I went looking for a more supportive pillow. I am a side sleeper and have been having shoulder pain as well. This pillow is so supportive and unyielding that it holds me up perfectly all night! It is very firm, which is great for me. I also use this to prop up when reading or watching a show and it does not sink in like other pillows. Will definitely be buying a second!

i live in a junior one bedroom and work from home. i want to turn my bedroom into a slash office. rather than getting a reading chair for an already small room, i thought i could turn my bed into a reading space with the help of this pillow. i read at least 3 books a week so need something that makes me comfortable. alas, i am returning this. i should have realized this before buying--as you can see from the picture, there is no neck support or upper back support on this thing, which turns to be a real problem. color and size exactly as pictured, and it does a great job of keeping you upright so you don't get tired as you would if you were to read while laying down. after reading about 20 pages of a book my neck is killing me. the armrests are a nice touch and keep your arms supported while you read which is great, but the neck is a real problem. when you have your arms on the armrest, you've got to look DOWN to read the book or work on your laptop, and man after a while it really hurts. .i gave it one more chance and same thing, my neck is killing me. i even tried horizontal glasses (i could read while looking straight ahead) but then i realize my beck still has nowhere to go. this is a rookie mistake on my part, i should have looked at the pic and seen that there isn't adequate neck support, but i read positive reviews and i was swayed. i am almost 5'8, so i'm not very tall, but my shoulders go a few inches above the top of the pillow, so i guess my upper back isn't being supported either. this would be a GREAT PRODUCT if they added a neck, because it'd be like having a chair on your bed. it does have great armrests. i'm returning it bc it causes back pain, but if they made another version with back and neck support i'd be all in.
