“I got your back, bb.” —all of these pillows, probably

If you’re like me, then you spend at least 40 percent of your waking hours chillin’ in bed like Charlie Bucket’s grandparents in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (minus the whole shared-mega-bed situation, hopefully). Whether you’re reading books, watching TV or living that WFH life, everything is made cozier when you do it from bed—but ofc, you’re gonna need some good pillows to help prop you up. The good news is there are TONS of pillows perfect for your binge-watch-in-bed sessions, and we’ve got all the best pillows for sitting up in bed rounded up here for you.

Backrest pillow, reader pillow, sit-up pillow—whatever TF ya call it, the function is basically the same: They let you sit up in bed without any discomfort or straining so you can live your best life. However, you do have a lot of options. There’s the basic wedge pillow, which comes filled with foam and can easily be propped up to let you recline on its elongated side. Then there’s the classic husband pillow, which was once a dorm room staple but is now totally acceptable for grown-ass adults as well. You can opt for a super-long lumbar pillow that you can fold and adjust as you please (and also keep on your bed even when it’s not in use). Whatever your preference, these supportive pillows will ensure that you never wanna leave your damn bed again.

Casper may be best known for its trendy mattresses, but you can also find this beauteous teardrop-shaped backrest pillow, which has an inner foam layer for extra lumbar support and a soft fiber outer layer for T-O-T-A-L comfort.

Available in pretty much every color imaginable, this bead-filled cutie from Yogibo can be positioned as you please and completely conforms to your back with no pressure points. Best of all, it also doubles as a lap desk if you use it backward. Genius!

Want your whole headboard to feel like a cushy pillow? Then get this pretty-yet-functional oversized wedge pillow, which is packed with a high-density filler that’ll give you A+ back support. You’ll love that it comes in five size options and tons of different colors and even has a lil pocket for your phone.

With hundreds of reviews and an almost perfect five-star rating, it's clear that people can’t get enough of this backrest pillow from Sleep Number. While the lower section of this bb is filled with a blend of down alternative and memory foam pieces for support, the top section is filled with polyester fiber for comfort, and the result is *chef’s kiss*.

Ah, yes, the classic husband pillow. Filled with shredded memory foam you can customize to your comfort and complete with a velour outer cover, this bad boy is *way* more sophisticated than anything you’d find in a dorm room. Not convinced? Just read the 8,000+ five-star reviews raving about this beaut.

If you love Buffy’s super-breathable comforters, then you’ll be just as obsessed with this oversized lumbar pillow. Floppy yet supportive and encased in a snuggly-soft sherpa cover, this full-body pillow is nearly seven feet long, and it’s ideal for all your sitting-up-in-bed needs. (Side note: It’s also a must-have pillow for pregnant folks.)

Similar to Yogibo’s supportive pillow, this option from Moon Pod has earned hundreds of five-star reviews, and for good reason: It’s comfy AF. The Crescent zero-gravity backrest is filled with thousands of high-density beads that cradle you like a bean bag chair but still leave you feeling totally supported.

If you’re looking to lounge like a GD boss, then this four-piece set is calling your name. Available in a bunch of pretty colors, this memory foam pillow set includes a curved back wedge pillow, a back scoop for lumbar support, a leg wedge, and a head rest, all of which you can adjust to your liking.

Brentwood Home has TONS of supportive foam wedge pillows for all your lounging needs, but its best seller is this amazingly affordable option, which comes in three different size options and includes a removable (and washable!) bamboo cover. Just check out the hundreds of five-star reviews singing this bb’s praises.

Another chic husband pillow option, this pretty baby comes in dozens of color options and even includes a detachable neck roll pillow and side pocket for your phone. You’ll love its shredded memory foam filling and soft microplush cover (because the 8,000+ people who gave this pillow a five-star rating certain do).

Looking for some light back support? Look no further than this stunning oversized lumbar pillow, which is made with organic linen, stuffed with a down feather insert, and available in five muted color options.
