Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have an iron bed and although I truly don't like to cover up the headboard's beautiful iron work, comfort won out. (I think) I enjoy reading in bed and no matter how many pillows I layered behind me they would always shift and leave my back in a very uncomfortable position. When I saw this wedge on Amazon I thought this would be a more finished, polished solution instead of the individual bed reading bolsters( the ones with the little arms popular for dorm rooms.) First, I contacted the seller about the color, it was listed as off white. He got back to me immediately to confirm it matched the photo in the description. So customer service is good. It arrived in a study red envelope, wrapped again with inner plastic. Be careful opening the packaging or you can cut the actual pillow. My first impression was that this is heavy, not a soft collapsible wedge. That's a good thing because you want to bed able to rest against it. The cover is nicely made, almost a canvas/tweed/burlap look but polished and smooth. It has a quality hidden zipper that removes the cover. I can't speak to laundering as it's brand new. Did I mention it's heavy? It bears mentioning again. It's almost like a cushion you'd find on a sofa back. It's probably going to be a bit of a pain taking it on and off once or twice a week to change sheets but I knew this going in. The big test was would it be comfortable and make sitting up in bed a pleasure. I'm happy to say it's very comfortable and has the right angle and height where my back feels great. I ordered the queen and it fit the length of my mattress perfectly. It comes in a nice variety of colors but the price and neutral tone of the fabric helped me to make the purchase. I took photos so you can see how it comes shipped, (don't panic if it looks half the size in the package, it's folded in half,) unpacking, and on the bed.You will be sleeping further down your mattress especially if you like to sleep with your head flat, but not by much where you're toes would be hanging off. I'm writing this review leaning against this pillow and I'm comfy and supported. It definitely does what it's advertised to do.
