Regular pillows fall flat — literally. For those of us who use our beds as makeshift movie theaters, offices, or reading nooks, the lack of neck and back support can be a real pain (in more ways than one). Enter the ingenious "Wedge" reading pillow by WOWMAX (available at Amazon), which looks like a stylishly tufted headboard, but delivers so much more.
Each is crafted in a clever wedge shape — appearing upright and linear like a traditional headboard from afar, but actually designed as a supportive triangle. Filled with high-density polyurethane stuffing, these pillows provide exceptional shoulder, neck, and back support, making them perfect for reading, binge-watching, or working on your laptop. Essentially, WOWMAX’s "Wedge" reading pillow transform your bed into a plush, ergonomic couch — and who wouldn’t want that?
With a 4.7/5-star rating from over 3,000 reviews, it seems that the answer is everyone. And don’t let that tufted elegance fool you. Those buttons, while responsible for the cover's high-end hotel-caliber look, also make it easy to remove in a pinch. Complete with convenient side pockets for phones or small items and a machine-washable design, keeping them fresh is also a breeze. All you have to do is choose one that complements your best bedding sets.
Price: $140.36, Was: $155.95 (King)
Available Sizes: Twin - California King
WOWMAX’s best-selling pillows are upholstered in prewashed, preshrunk cotton velvet, lending a luxurious touch to beds of all sizes. Their wedge shape, paired with high-density polyurethane filling, offers unparalleled back support without sacrificing style. Ergonomic often feels like a synonym for ugly — but this bedding brand's clever cushion is here to prove otherwise.
Designed to double as a headboard, these WOWMAX "Wedge" reading pillows come in every standard bed size — from twin to California king — and are available in a range of velvet upholstery colors, including sunny yellow, sultry wine red, and versatile neutrals.
Sure, spending around $100 on a pillow might give you pause — but this isn’t just a pillow. It’s a couch, a chic headboard, and ergonomic support all rolled into one. And for that, it’s worth every penny.
