The Book Seat - Book Holder and Travel Pillow - Grey

I was little reluctant after reading some of the dissatisfied reviews, but I can now unequivocally say The Book Seat is the real deal that works. I use it mostly for reading heavy hardcover books while in bed and it has literally tripled my reading time. Hands free except to turn the pages, comfortable, stable on my lap (it holds a 600 page hardcover, no problem). The clear plexiglass spread holder works really well and is easy to use. I do rest it up against a small head pillow while in bed to help stabilize it. This is due to the angle I like to keep it at while reading in bed for comfortable full spread viewing and lighting. If I sat a little more upright it would be fine by itself — but I don't want to — it's why I'm reading in bed and not in a chair. Sitting in a chair however, while reading with it on my lap, it stands up fine and remains stabilized all by itself with a hardcover novel in its grasp. What's really great about The Book Seat is that it leaves my hands totally free to look up new words I run across or forgotten definitions on my iPhone without having to fuss at all with the book. So nice. Buy The Book Seat with confidence and experience a new level of enjoyment by reading those big beautiful novels the way they're supposed to be read … by turning the pages.

Best book holder!! Don’t listen to any bad reviews about this product. It is perfect. It is light so that it can comfortably sit on your lap. It is not meant to stand alone with a large book. It is soft and light so that it is comfortable for your body. LOVE IT I have wrist and arm pain and this makes it so easy to read a big heavy book!

I really appreciate how The Book Seat makes the physical act of reading a book so much easier. It turns what can be cumbersome and tiring into a breeze. Almost every size book (and tablets too) fit on this seat. The seat itself sits on a desk or on your lap, sitting up or lying down. The pages stay in place and are easy to turn. It takes the strain off your arms and back and neck because the book is positioned at the right angle for easy reading. Light in weight, very portable, and sturdy while also being soft and comfortable. Exceeded my expectations! I'm very happy with The Book Seat.

Holding a "real" book can get tiresome - especially a hardcover. This little bookrest is just perfect. It's like a little beanbag that rests on my lap. There is a little adjustable clear plastic piece that flips up and that's what holds the book (and pages) in place. It seems to be well-made, so hopefully it will last awhile. Very happy.

It is a handy book/tablet holder so will use it a lot. The pillow part is a bit iffy
