When you open the cylinder-wrapped parcel, the product initially appears quite crumpled – but this is not a problem because the product only fully unfolds and reaches its final shape within 5-7 days .
The cover of the cushion feels velvety soft and pleasant.
At first glance, this product has a suitable unisex size – it can be used by adults of different sizes.
When pressure is applied to the cushion, it has a pleasant firmness and returns to its original shape after the pressure has been applied.
The first impression of the product is very positive, especially the pleasant feel .

The reading cushion was subjected to a thorough practical test.
In various reclining positions on the couch or bed, this product was convincing in terms of stability and non-slip properties. It yields enough to make lying down very comfortable, but does not lose its ergonomic shape.
The reading cushion has a good supporting function for the back and the cover feels pleasantly soft .
If necessary, the cushion cover can be removed with its zip and machine washed.
After unpacking the cushion , it first has to unfold – after 5-7 days it has reached the desired shape and can be used.
No disturbing noises can be heard when you turn on the pillow and change position.
In the practical test , this product was particularly impressive due to its comfortable lying surface and non-slip properties when used in different lying positions.
