You’ll be in heaven cuddled up with these essentials and your favorite book.

Rounded up here are 11 must-haves for anyone who likes to read in bed that will help make reading easier and more comfortable. Everything is highly rated by Amazon shoppers, so you know that what you’re getting lives up to your expectations.

It can be hard to sit up comfortably using pillows made for sleep. This reading cushion supports your back while giving your arms a soft place to rest while you hold your book or tablet. There are even pockets on the side for your Kindle, bookmark, reading glasses or phone.

Promising review: “I’d give this product 10 stars if I could. It’s so well made and incredibly comfortable. I absolutely love it! Great lumbar and neck support for those days when you want to curl up with a good book. Worth the price! Note: Purchaser has to be patient; item takes 48 hours to plump up to full size!” —MelindaHarris

If you like to rest your book or tablet down while you read instead of holding it, a lap desk like this one is a must for reading in bed. The top is smooth and sturdy, while the base is filled with microbeads so it’s comfortable on your legs. There’s enough room for your book, phone and even a small notebook and pen, in case you want to take notes while you read. Choose from a wide range of prints.

Promising review: “Just right! I needed something that was attractive and came in light colors, so that when I tuck it between my recliner and sofa it doesn't stand out. Balances well and really good for morning devotional Bible study, especially good for those who are into Bible journaling because you can prop your Bible up on it and put highlighters, stickers or paints in the elastic and nothing falls around. Very comfortable and not too heavy. I don't use it for a laptop, but the size is generous enough to be able to store pens, stickers, bookmarks and Bible.” —Nina Ruth Bruno

A book light is a must if you want to read in bed without disturbing your partner or if you want to read to wind down and don’t want your bright, overhead light on. This one is rechargeable, so you never need to buy batteries, and it has three brightness levels. More than 50,000 Amazon shoppers have bought and rated this book light, giving it a cumulative 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Promising review: “Perfect light for all readers! Lightweight, does not add bulk and comes in three different settings. Easy to use; just clip it on and you’re ready to read in the dark!” —Katherine S. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors).

“[This] rechargeable reading light designed to be worn around the neck has over 90,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, and reviewers call it 'tremendous' and 'one of the best purchases I’ve ever made,'” wrote former shopping writer Haley Zovickian about this hands-free neck light that’s a longtime bestseller among our readers. “You’ll be able to read in bed without disturbing a sleeping bed partner, since unlike traditional reading lights that broadly project light, this focuses illumination directly on and closely to your page or phone. It’ll also let you read or knit while your family watches TV, without needing to turn on all the lights.”

Having to get out of bed to turn off the light just as you’re drifting off to sleep is the worst. This bedside table lamp will completely prevent that. Its dimmable settings can replace your overhead light. It comes with the LED lightbulb and has two USB ports you can use to charge your devices.

Promising review: “I use this lamp every single day. The size is perfect for a tableside lamp. I’ve been using it for a year and it still works like the first day I had it. It’s easy to use and durable; the USB ports still work even after using it for a whole year. The LED bulb that it came with is still going strong and does not get hot at all compared to other lamps I used in the past.” —Ricardo Yang

Maybe reading while sitting up isn’t your style; you prefer to lie on your stomach, holding your book or tablet in front of you. If so, this ergonomic wedge pillow is going to be a game-changer. Made with memory foam, it gives more back support than you get just by lying on your bed and it has a small cushion to help with neck support. 

Promising review: “This pillow is amazing! The angled design makes it incredibly comfortable for relaxing or cuddling while still giving great neck and back support. The memory foam feels soft yet firm enough to hold its shape, and it’s great for reading, lounging or resting comfortably with a partner. The cover is smooth, breathable and easy to clean. It’s surprisingly versatile and has quickly become one of my favorite comfort accessories at home!” —Jason N

Keeping your arms underneath your blankets makes turning the page on your Kindle impossible. The solution: this remote control page turner. Simply keep your hand curled around the remote and press the button to turn the page on your Kindle. Genius, right?

Promising review: “I’m really impressed with this little device. It works with almost all touchscreen eReaders and tablets (just not the Fire HD 10 or some older Kindles), and it’s made reading in bed so much easier. I love not having to stick my hand out from under the blankets or hold my Kindle up just to turn a page. I think it would also be helpful for anyone with mobility issues, too. The mute button is great for quiet, late-night reading, and the remote is simple to use — just press and the page turns. The battery life seems to be excellent so far, and the USB-C charging is super convenient. I'm someone who loves to read in bed, and overall, it’s a small purchase that’s really improved my reading comfort at night.” —JH

If you don’t have a nightstand, you don’t have the luxury of having a place to put a cup of coffee or tea while you read in bed. This bedside shelf solves that problem and it doesn’t require any tools for assembly whatsoever. It can hold up to 35 pounds.

Promising review: “Bought this for my son's dorm room. Works perfectly on bed toppers for holding his phone and drinks.” —Jen E.

If you live with other people — especially if you’re the caregiver for those other people — it can be hard to get some uninterrupted time to read in bed. Hang this sign on your bedroom door handle and the message will be loud and clear.

Promising review: “Product was an amazing gift. She loved it! This is a good gift for those that can easily get wrapped up in their reading and can't be disturbed.” —Nate Christiansen

This wedge pillow set ensures that your neck, back and legs are all supported while you read in bed. If you like to bend your knees while you read, it will give your legs a soft place to rest while you do so. There’s even a side pocket for your phone, reading glasses or bookmark.

Promising review: “I’ve been using this wedge pillow and it’s made a big difference in how comfortably I sleep and relax. It comes with a small pamphlet that shows different configuration options, which was really helpful — I didn’t realize how many ways you could set it up until I saw that! I tend to get heartburn if I eat dinner too late, and this pillow lets me sleep upright enough to avoid that without feeling awkward or uncomfortable. The firmness is perfect — supportive but not rock-hard — and it holds its shape well. I also use it on the couch when I’m reading or watching TV, and it’s just as comfortable there. Overall, it’s a very practical, well-made wedge pillow that’s improved my comfort both in bed and around the house. Definitely worth it!” —Tanya C

Want to keep your nightstand clutter-free? This bedside book caddy can store everything you need without taking up any valuable table space. It easily hooks over any bed frame rail with a diameter less than 1.97 inches. 

Promising review: “I ordered this for my second daughter going to college and after trying many different caddies, this one was great. She insisted on lofting her bed and needed a place to store her phone and other bedside items. The size was perfect, the pockets were deep and she was able to hold a lot of items. It has stayed in place and is easy to wipe down.” —HP
