Hog Wild Peeramid Bookrest

The Peeramid Bookrest Pillow is very nice in appearance and would probably suit those looking for support when reading small, soft-bound books. However, my plan was to use the Peeramid to support the very large, heavy, and cumbersome soft-bound books used when studying for the bar exam. Unfortunately, the Peeramid, was not strong enough to support these books. The books simply crushed the top of the Peeramid to lap-level. Additionally, the support "lip" or base of the Peeramid is not very deep. So, again, if you intend to use it to support large or heavy books, I would suggest looking elsewhere for a book rest to help when reading/studying in bed or stand-alone chair. I have ordered a "Thai Book Rest" from Levenger and will test that one out to see if it works better.

I love this pillow!! I bought two a couple of years ago, one for myself and a friend who is also an avid reader. I just bought another one for another friend. I use mine every night when I read in bed. I lie on my side and prop my book up on this book pillow which allows me to read for hours in comfort because I don't have to hold the book up which tires my hand after a period of time, and it provides the perfect angle from which to read the text. The weight of the book is on the pillow and not on my hand. I don't know what I'd do without it. I highly recommend this pillow particularly if you read lying down. Sometimes I put another little pillow on it to vary and adjust the angle of the book.

The only downside is that the "rolled lip" on the bottom of the pillow is not deep enough nor wide enough for a book to fit into, regardless of the thickness, and it doesn't matter if it's a hardback or a paperback it will not fit into the lip. So the book has to rest on top of it. I was hoping that a book would fit into it and hold it open without the use of hands, but that's not the case, you still have to hold it open. But I wouldn't let that deter you from buying this pillow and I still recommend you buy one if you enjoy reading. It's of high quality and made well with really nice fabric.

It is 100% polyester inside and out. It feels very spongy. The texture is like soft suede. I use it with the Kindle. When turned over, it looks like just another decorative pillow.

Well made product.

EDIT: Jan 2010 my review was for the Sage color specifically FYI.

Great for reading in bed... especially those heavy hard cover books! I also gave one to my elderly mother who has difficulty holding books secondary to arthritis and she loves it.
