What is a Bed Rest Pillow?
A bed rest pillow is a large, somewhat stiff, pillow similar in look to the top section of a recliner, that has a cushioned back and short attached armrests. The person rests his or her back on the pillow while the armrests fall on either side of the the lower waist. While it may sound like a strange item, many people find it quite comfortable to lean on. You can place the bed rest pillow on the floor or on a bed so you have something soft to lean against while you are doing activities such as reading or watching television. Those that have back problems may find this item useful for the extra support. While the top of most bed rests end just at the base of the person’s neck, some extend upward and provide support for the neck and head. The typical best rest pillow is just a large pillow with no extra frills. Then there are the best rests that can come with a built-in cup holder or heat and massaging capabilities. Some also have a pocket on the side for remotes or reading material. Whe
