For many seniors, reading is one of the greatest daily pleasures: the newspaper at breakfast, a novel in the afternoon, a puzzle book before bed. But staying comfortably seated does not automatically get easier over the years. Loose cushions slide away, and repeatedly settling back into a good position takes energy. A reading pillow can make a surprising difference, both for yourself and for a loved one you give it to.
Sitting upright without effort
The Bline reading pillow has a firm, high backrest made of memory foam. This foam moulds to the body and therefore offers stable support without feeling hard. You almost automatically stay more upright, in bed, on the sofa or in an armchair. The armrests support the arms, so a book or tablet feels less heavy and the shoulders stay relaxed.
A fixed, stable reading spot
With its dimensions of 65 x 45 x 50 cm, the pillow forms something of a fixed worktop around you: the armrests on the left and right give you something to hold on to, and in the side pocket your reading glasses, newspaper and remote control are always in the same place. Handy for anyone who hates searching, and pleasant for anyone who likes everything within reach. The pillow is also ideal for video calls with the grandchildren on a tablet: the arms rest, the screen stays steady.
- Firm memory foam back support that does not sink in
- Armrests for relaxed reading, puzzling or tablet use
- A side pocket for glasses, a book or a puzzle book
- A removable cover made of 250TC cotton, washable at 30 degrees
- Available in five calm colours: white, beige, blue, grey and black
A thoughtful gift for grandma or grandpa
Looking for a gift that will actually be used? A reading pillow is an original idea for a birthday, Christmas or just because. It is a gift that says: I wish you a comfortable moment to yourself every day. Choose a colour that suits the bedroom or living room, and consider adding an extra cover: when you buy a pillow, you get 33% off the cover. Good to know for gift givers: the washable cover keeps the pillow easy to freshen up, even with daily use. And because the cover goes in a regular washing machine at 30 degrees, no special care is needed.
Honest about comfort
A reading pillow is a comfort product, not a medical device. It can help with a more pleasant, more upright sitting position, but for physical complaints the doctor or physiotherapist is always the right first step. Reassuring too: thanks to 30 days to return, the pillow can be tried out calmly at home. On Bol, customers rate the reading pillow an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
The reading pillow is available from 69.99, and from 50 euros we ship free of charge within the Netherlands and Belgium. Browse the reading pillow collection or choose a reading pillow with an extra cover right away, so a fresh cover is always ready.
