Great Geniuses of CFC, fix Reading pillow problem

[Perfection]

I like to read in bed. I've gone through a number of reading pillows but they all get gross in short order. They don't fit in the washing machine. I can't find any with covers. It all pisses me off. What should I do, CFC, what should I do?

 

[Gucumatz]

Don't use a pillow maybe. Try a small beanbag that works like a pillow with linen instead of Velcro or some other derivative

They make beanbags with covers? If there's no cover, not sure that'd work.

Just put a linen cover on a beanbag Sure it wouldn't be a perfect contour but you could seal it with a few pins or something

That sounds like a pain in the butt with at best mediocre outcome.

 

[Gucumatz]

Well what kind of pillow do you use right now?

 

[Perfection]

Right now, I lie on my side and prop up my head with my hand.

How about using a "king" pillow vertically behind you and wash the cover as needed.

How about going down to your local sewing club and offering to pay to have one of the nice old ladies sew you up a nice cover for your fav reading pillow.

I think the easiest option is to be less finicky and just ignore the grime.

Shower before getting to bed every night/Get pillows with pillowcases/Get a larger washing machine?

 

[Zelig]

Buy a sheet/blanket for $5. Put it over the reading pillow, and then wash that.

Won't work, sheet/blanket will come off and then it will get dirty.

That's part of the problem, everything in my bed needs to be cleaned more regularly.

Sell your books and hire a maid.

 

[Perfection]

But what would I read then?

 

[bhsup]

Have the maid read to you as you rest your head in her lap? No need for reading pillow!

I read pretty technical works, the mispronunciation while initially adorable would get old fast.

I'd love to red that, if only I had a reading pillow...

You should have a pair.
