Our beds provide us with more than just a place to sleep, as we're almost all guilty of spending time sitting up in bed to read, make a phone call, or check up on the world with our tablet, smartphone or computer. This blissful time can be interrupted by discomfort or a sharp pain in the back, but with the right bed wedge pillow, it doesn't have to be. Bed wedge pillows are the ultimate accessory for sitting up in bed, helping us start our day without having to get up just yet. Not all are created equal though, with some providing far more support than others. Luckily, we're here to help, as we've had our experts put together a list of our Best Pillows for Sitting Up in Bed.
