The perfect pillow for a lonely nap

Well, I thought pillow chairs only came in a few comfy varieties but I was wrong!
I found this snuggly pillow when searching for a new pillow chair for a family member who needs a lesson in relaxation. I really want to buy it but I think it’s more fun to look at.

What’s that thing called?

Is it a pillow chair? How about, reading pillow?

Yeah, I don’t really know either. Let’s refer to them as both.

I think of it as a pillow chair when I’m lying against to watch TV, or sew or write but when I’m reading I refer to it as my reading pillow. It plays a double role.

No matter what it’s called…pillow chair, reading pillow…puffy back thingy…it’s the perfect pillow for support and comfort when I’m ready to lay back and relax.

Last night it was my “reading pillow” because I read nearly all night. I’ve been engrossed in the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer. Yes, a little embarrassing to admit but not many people can say no to teenage vampires in love!

Are you reading any good books?

Now that fall is just around the corner I’m stocking up my reading list and fluffing up my reading pillow in preparation for the cold weather where I’ll be lying indoors lazily draped over my reading pillow and reading everything I didn’t this summer. I hope you have some good books lined up too.

If you have any suggestions, let me know!

Favorite place to read?

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I always have a book in my bag and I’ll read in line at the grocery store, on the bus and during muted TV commercials. Another great place to read is in the bathtub. I know warm, bubbly water and paper don’t mix, but as long as you don’t get too drunk on the glass of wine you poured yourself then you won’t drop the book into the tub! Where do you love to read?

A few friends of mine are entering grad school this year…they have A TON of reading to do, not pleasure reading either. Their books are the size of suitcases and filled with legal terminology and *gag* math. My friends were looking a little forlorn so I told them to pamper their reading time by submitting to comfort and searching online for some reading chairs/pillow chairs to ease their reading woes. Also, I suggested they get a special reading light; the ones with bulbs that give off a more natural light that is easy on the eyes. These 2 items should really make reading hefty Grad School materials a little more enjoyable. Hopefully they won’t fall asleep. It got me to thinking about how much reading is a good, relaxing part of life and having the comfortable support in your surroundings to make you read more can only be a good thing, right?

Pillow Chairs Rule!

After being put on bedrest for the last 5 months of my pregnancy I started to hate my bed. I never, ever thought I’d say those words. Lying in bed is not the cushiony, secure place after 2 weeks that you imagine it is while filing papers at your job. I pretty much was losing my mind.
What do you do when you HAVE to be in bed? read. watch tv. eat. That pretty much sums it up. I couldn’t have lived without my pillow chair. I propped that thing behind me, I was allowed to “sit up” for a couple hours per day and it saved my sanity. Believe it or not, while resting against the pillow chair I was able to lean a guitar against my baby bump and learn to play. That became the highlight of my day for several months, my son is going to be a musical genius!

Now that I’m no longer bed-bound I still use my pillow chair, although i try to avoid too much lying in bed–I think I’m a little afraid of it after that long 5 months. =) I’m a little peeved that I didn’t invent this fluffy, handy piece of cotton myself! Who knew? I can bring it down to the ground and use it while I sit on the floor, I can prop it anywhere while I breastfeed, I’m tempted to use it in my car but that may be a little overboard.

Thank goodness for the pillow chair. This blog is for people who love pillow chairs, feel free to comment if you are bed bound and want to give your opinions! I know just how uncomfortable laying in bed for hours on end can actually be. Stop by, say hi.
