Reviews & Buyer’s Guide

I don’t know about you, but reading in bed is sometimes an uphill battle for me. I figured out the light situation by buying a book light and I saved my neck and back with a reading pillow but now that it’s getting cold, holding the book outside of the blanket is just torturous. You might say that I can use something else to cover my arms but it gets annoying and I cannot read under the covers. But before I gave up on reading in bed altogether, I did some research into book holders and that’s when I discovered pillow book holders! These are great whether you’re reading in bed or anywhere else but in this article, we specifically look at the 10 best pillow book holders for reading in bed in 2020.

Why should you use a book holder for reading in bed in the first place?

Cold hands! I just said it! But that’s just me. There is a multitude of reasons why you should use a book holder. These include:Ā 

  • Aching arms – whether its arthritis, old age or simply fatigue, holding a book for long periods of time can get painful, especially if it’s a large and heavy book.
  • You can read longer! Most of the time when we get uncomfortable reading a book we just decide to go to sleep instead of struggling any longer.
  • For people who are bedridden – Some patients or the elderly have little to no use of there hands and these pillows can be of great use for them to place their eReaders on
  • You won’t get hit in the face when you fall asleep! You can’t deny it. Every person who reads in bed has to have dropped their book or eReader directly onto their face at some point!Ā 

Considering the above points, it’s all about comfort. Reading in bed is meant to be a good end to a day, not a struggle and definitely not one that leaves you aching in the morning.Ā 

That being said, let’s take a look at the 10 best pillow book holders for reading in bed.Ā
