 Nice, but not quite what I was looking for Jul 19, 2009
By Leah
"L. McGahee"
The Peeramid Bookrest Pillow is very nice in appearance and would probably suit those looking for support when reading small, soft-bound books. However, my plan was to use the Peeramid to support the very large, heavy, and cumbersome soft-bound books used when studying for the bar exam. Unfortunately, the Peeramid, was not strong enough to support these books. The books simply crushed the top of the Peeramid to lap-level. Additionally, the support "lip" or base of the Peeramid is not very deep. So, again, if you intend to use it to support large or heavy books, I would suggest looking elsewhere for a book rest to help when reading/studying in bed or stand-alone chair. I have ordered a "Thai Book Rest" from Levenger and will test that one out to see if it works better.

 Nice Product Apr 24, 2008
By lesley9
It is 100% polyester inside and out. It feels very spongy. The texture is like soft suede. I use it with the Kindle. When turned over, it looks like just another decorative pillow.
Well made product.
NOTE: See Comments for more extensive information.
EDIT: Jan 2010 - my review was for the Sage color specifically FYI.

Not great for all books Nov 26, 2008
By L. Hughes
"Buffy Fan"
This book rest is somewhat awkward and my books didn't fit very well. I ended up getting a Thai version which is a triangular backrest with a much larger base for the bottom of the book to rest on and it works great. This is an okay product but not the best out there.

Good idea, but not quite right... Dec 24, 2009
By ---- Covarrubias

I think the idea is good, and with a little re-work these good be a great item.
They are a little smaller than I imagined, and since the peak height is only about 7 inches or so (if that), any book that is over about 7-8 inches just tips over backwards. The ledge that is built in (the rolled bottom) doesn't really hold the book. The crease is quite snug, and a book with any kind of thickness just doesn't fit in it, so you kind of end up putting the bottom of the book in your lap. The bookmark - can't quite figure out how anyone would use it. If you put it in the book as a marker, what are you supposed to do then? The book and the pillow can't really go anywhere together, not even rest on a table together.
The material (I got the burgundy) is actually quite nice, and the tassel is a nice quality. I did try this just by putting the book (hardback about 8" x 7" x 3/4" thick in my lap, and just laying it up against the pillow, but honestly you could do that with any sofa pillow.
Not worth the money, in my humble opinion.

Hog Wild Peeramid Bookrest Nov 21, 2009
By H. Manz
I love this pillow!! I bought two a couple of years ago, one for myself and a friend who is also an avid reader. I just bought another one for another friend. I use mine every night when I read in bed. I lie on my side and prop my book up on this book pillow which allows me to read for hours in comfort because I don't have to hold the book up which tires my hand after a period of time, and it provides the perfect angle from which to read the text. The weight of the book is on the pillow and not on my hand. I don't know what I'd do without it. I highly recommend this pillow particularly if you read lying down. Sometimes I put another little pillow on it to vary and adjust the angle of the book.
The only downside is that the "rolled lip" on the bottom of the pillow is not deep enough nor wide enough for a book to fit into, regardless of the thickness, and it doesn't matter if it's a hardback or a paperback it will not fit into the lip. So the book has to rest on top of it. I was hoping that a book would fit into it and hold it open without the use of hands, but that's not the case, you still have to hold it open. But I wouldn't let that deter you from buying this pillow and I still recommend you buy one if you enjoy reading. It's of high quality and made well with really nice fabric.
