CasperSleep Backrest Pillow, One Size, Gray

I was waiting for this pillow to go on Black Friday deals which it luckily did. Yes, it's costly even on Deals, but it's worth it. This pillow is huge, heavy, and well made. It feels like memory foam and does keep its shape. I have back and neck problems so when I want to sit on my bed, to read or use my phone/ipad, I use this pillow. It's great. I highly recommend the purchase even though it's expensive.

Very comfortable

It can be used in two positions and both do the job. It is quite heavy so it is very stable. Also it gets five stars for softness because it in not soft, it is firm which is just what you want in a back rest pillow. I use it in the other position for sleep as I like to be propped up a little.

For background I am a 40 hour a week desk jockey, and during the pandemic when we were sent home I ended up sitting all over the house (couches, beds, etc.) to work. This wrecked my back via poor posture, no support, and caused tech neck. I went through 18 months of chiro treatment which did help me (mostly) get back into alignment, and I read the McKenzie Method book and now regularly practice the exercises from that book. Most days I stretch, which helps. But the back soreness and headaches were still creeping in, due to my love of reading in bed. I spent some $$ on the XXL husband pillow here on Amazon back in 2020 (it was ok) and used it for about three years. Then I saw a review for the Casper and thought what the heck? What can it hurt to try it, there is a decent return policy.I have used the Casper backrest 4 nights now, and have woken up with zero lumbar/back soreness or cervical/neck pain and/or headaches. Yes, zero. So so glad I pulled the trigger on this one.It is large, yes, but it is a backrest, not a bolster pillow. And I have no issues moving it off the bed, and I am not a weightlifter. See photos for comparison to a regular standard-size pillow.The beauty of this backrest is the comfortable support, and how it is tapered, with great support for your lower back. And it is not too hard, not too soft.

Little heavy to lift, but that’s what keeps it in place.
