Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Husband Pillow used for?

A Husband Pillow is a bed backrest with arms that props you upright so you can read, work on a laptop, watch TV, game, or nurse comfortably in bed without slumping. The arms and headrest support your shoulders, elbows, and neck.

What sizes does the Husband Pillow come in?

The Husband Pillow comes in several sizes, from a Medium for smaller beds and younger readers up to the Big model for taller adults who want maximum back support. Most average-height adults are happiest with the Standard Plus.

Is the Husband Pillow good for back support?

Yes. It is filled with firm shredded memory foam that holds an upright shape and keeps your spine supported, which is why it is popular for reading, recovery, and anyone who spends time sitting up in bed.

Can I wash the Husband Pillow cover?

The outer cover is removable and machine washable. Simply unzip it, wash on a gentle cycle, and air-dry. The inner pillow can be spot-cleaned as needed.

What is the difference between the Husband Pillow and the Wife Pillow?

The Husband Pillow is an upright backrest with arms for sitting up in bed, while the Wife Pillow is a side-sleeping pillow with an arm hole for lying down. Many customers own both.

Does the Husband Pillow come with a neck roll pillow?

Yes. The Husband Pillow includes a detachable neck roll pillow that sits at the top of the backrest. Adjust it up or down until it cradles your neck at the right height, or take it off completely when you want a lower profile. It is one of the features that sets this backrest pillow apart from a basic bed pillow with arms.
