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.

Gross
By Niky on February 20, 2021
Ordered this before, and it was great. This shipment looks like I was sold something that someone else returned. The extra stuffing bag looked gross like it had bugs in it. Upset that this company would resell something like that. Pictures are how it arrived and you can tell that's not factory taping. Definitely a return and resell.
