Yogibo Support U Shaped Reading Back Support Lounge Pillow with Arm Rests for Adults, Soft Micro-Bead Filling, Blue

Love these! We have another beanbag that is also comfy, but it's SUPER HEAVY and sorta huge and shapeless. These are attractive, shockingly light weight (kids can move them around easily), great colors, extremely comfortable. Someone said they are noisy -- they are a bit! But who cares -- only when you move around and soon you forget about it. If that's the price of having them be so light weight I'm sold. It looks like from the product description they may stretch out over time, so I'll be paying attention to that. The fact that they have good support is appreciated so if that breaks down quickly I'll be disappointed… Also, being able to wash the covers is going to be critical with my 8 and 2 year olds around, haven't tried that, trusting it will be successful!

This is an expensive purchase but it’s well worth it! We love how soft and flexible it is while giving unbelievable support. We use it as a pillow, lap desk, and a back support … it’s awesome.

I've had this guy for a little over a month now and I think I'm ready to share my final thoughts and opinions. I often spend a decent amount of my days off laying around catching up on the next binge worthy tv series. My very expensive bed just so happens to be the best place to do that. I stand and run around on my feet all day at work and I also have some pretty significant back problems (like several screws and hooks holding my spine together, back problems). When I want to collapse at the end of the night or do nothing on my day off, I NEED to feel comfortable and supported. It's just not an option. So I was on the prowl on the world wide web for a solution/pillow/something that would allow me to watch tv and bum it out in my bed whilst still supporting my back. My makeshift stack of pillows weren't doing it for me anymore, nor were the several other previously purchased body pillows that ended up thrown in the trash or given away. In fact, I'm pretty sure they were all putting me on the fast track to needing another surgery. Anyway, my search was narrowed down to this guy and a bunch of very expensive 8+ piece stackable foam contraptions that I'm expected to take apart and put together everyday.. and then store in my bedroom where?? I chose the obvious option. I won't lie, I almost gave up on this thing. It is firm. Too firm. I really liked that I could move the beads around and manipulate it to conform to my body but I couldn't help feeling like it had so much potential and just fell short. One night I fell asleep in a full face of makeup, took the outer pillowcase off and threw it in the wash and WOW. I need the company to listen up because I'm pretty certain doing this would solve most of the similar issues that other reviewers have complained about. Only did my disappointment in the product return when I had to shove this thing back into the tiny, meat tube like pillowcase again. I appreciate the fact that the fabric of the outer pillowcase doesn't allow my cats claws to slice open and spill millions of tiny beads all over my room but please, please hear me out when I ask you to make a removable case for these that isn't SO stinking constricting. The product itself (without outer pillowcase) is bomb. Stretchy, soft, comfortable, refillable. I won't lie, I admittedly left the pillowcase off for a few days and I absolutely enjoyed feeling like I was laying on a cloud. But that overly snug pillowcase creates such a firm pillow and it really is such a buzzkill. The product lacks the ability to allow its customers to choose their preferred firmness level. It could easily be customized to suit every persons wants and needs (soft, med, firm) by simply offering the customer different sizes in the outer pillowcase. A larger/looser fitting pillowcase to the current would surely provide folks who like a little more squish to still get the support they need without giving up their comforability preference. Honestly, if I could buy an outer pillowcase that was as soft and stretchy as the inner one is, I'd buy several more of these pillows and be a forever customer. But right now, we just need more options.

I have tried various ways to try sleep in an upright position with foam wedges (too hard), stacked pillows (too unstable) and bed chair pillows (too squishy)! This Yogibo U shaped backrest is perfect. It is perhaps not ideal for everyone but for anyone who has a health condition that make it helpful to sleep in a semi-reclined position this can alleviate the problem. The support wraps around the body and is firm enough to stay in place while the raised back supports the shoulders. Sleeping this was allows me to breath more easily that lying flat on my back. It has made a huge difference in the quality of sleep for me.

i live in a junior one bedroom and work from home. i want to turn my bedroom into a slash office. rather than getting a reading chair for an already small room, i thought i could turn my bed into a reading space with the help of this pillow. i read at least 3 books a week so need something that makes me comfortable. alas, i am returning this. i should have realized this before buying--as you can see from the picture, there is no neck support or upper back support on this thing, which turns to be a real problem. color and size exactly as pictured, and it does a great job of keeping you upright so you don't get tired as you would if you were to read while laying down. after reading about 20 pages of a book my neck is killing me. the armrests are a nice touch and keep your arms supported while you read which is great, but the neck is a real problem. when you have your arms on the armrest, you've got to look DOWN to read the book or work on your laptop, and man after a while it really hurts. .i gave it one more chance and same thing, my neck is killing me. i even tried horizontal glasses (i could read while looking straight ahead) but then i realize my beck still has nowhere to go. this is a rookie mistake on my part, i should have looked at the pic and seen that there isn't adequate neck support, but i read positive reviews and i was swayed. i am almost 5'8, so i'm not very tall, but my shoulders go a few inches above the top of the pillow, so i guess my upper back isn't being supported either. this would be a GREAT PRODUCT if they added a neck, because it'd be like having a chair on your bed. it does have great armrests. i'm returning it bc it causes back pain, but if they made another version with back and neck support i'd be all in.

I’ve tried many different backrests, including one that had memory foam, but this one is the best! Very lightweight so I can move it easily from bed to couch (for gaming). It’s so comfortable and supportive I hardly notice it’s there. If the beans inside shift, just give it a shake or mold the desired shape with your hands. I never noticed any smell, and although it seemed very stiff out of the box, that changed as soon as I began using it. I love this!

I had breast surgery and needed something to help me sleep in an upright position. After days of web browsing I came across this. It was more than I was planning or wanting to spend. But I really needed something that would fit my needs. I thought this would be it. It arrived and holy cow that thing was FIRM. Uncomfortably firm. It actually hurt me when I tried it out. Yes I am aware you can remove some beads if needed but I didn’t know if the beads flatten over time/use like traditional beanbags do. Then I would be left with a flattened pillow or replacing beads all the time. (This is why I don’t use beanbags). Also I didn’t want to risk not being able to return once removing beads, had I found that it still wouldn’t work for my needs. That said. I came across a review that I didn’t see before, sadly, That said removing the outside case made the pillow MUCH more mushy and uncomfortable. I wish I would have known that. I likely would have kept it. The review recommended the company give different size options for the outside case/cover. That would have been GREAT. It would likely have prevented the return. Which btw I was very unhappy with as well. I didn’t realize their return policy was different from Amazon’s and it was a BIG inconvenience from start to finish. First they tried charging $55 to ship it back! When I first went to request the return.The stupid thing literally weighs 4 pounds. I canceled that and went to read their return policy and found that in there they mention, for a discounted return shipping fee to message them and request it. Which I didn’t know how to do that and it took some searching to figure it out. Though I will say their response time was pretty quick. I didn’t know they replied back as I never got a notification from Amazon. I was told the shipping with their label would be $16 and it would be deducted from my return. I agreed and so they sent me the label to print and told me FedEx would be by the next day to pick up. I waited home ALL day so I wouldn’t miss them. And FedEx never showed up. So I had to drive an hour out of my way to drop it off to FedEx. Well today I finally get an email from Amazon stating my refund had been issued. But its less than what it was suppose to be. So I go check out the status information on the return and get the breakdown of refund. I was charged $20 and some change restocking fee which I was never told there was a restocking fee. I wasn’t charged the $16something shipping though. Yes it’s only about a $5 difference but after going through all the headache and inconvenience of everything it would have been nice to receive the correct refund as stated.

So I read a few reviews saying this is a bit hard and was expecting a bit more softer and forgiving on the back. I do see their point but then thought, well you did want support so it has to be a bit more solid. I am ok with it and it does it’s job and I am comfortable. It has bigger beads in it and not the fine small ones. The comments about returns is a good thing to take note as it is not a Amazon free return so keep that in mind. I took a chance and really like it. I just hope the material is strong because if it busts, I have a real mess on my hands!
